Am I worrying too much? Or is it wise to wait till getting the plastic before jumping into adventures? I have been waiting for years to visit places but can't do because of the gc processing and its difficult to restrain myself!
 
JaxGC,

I never did it myself and so can not speak from personal experience. But, the stamp on your passport is explicitly for this reason that you should be able to travel unhindered until you get your plastic. So, travel on a GC stamped passport is safe enough. In any case, until you get your plastic, carry the relevant documents (or in some cases their copies) so that you can answer any questions at the POE.

SVSS,

I have absolutely no idea why it took that long!!! As you can see, we were approved on Sep. 12, got the passport stamped on the 25th. My wife got her plastic card on Nov. 10th and it took me SIX months (!!!!) to get mine.

I called VSC about 3 times to enquire about it. It so happened that my file (a complete one by their own admission) made it to the card production stage but stopped short of getting into the computer that actually orders the card. God knows why! All the people that I spoke to mentioned the same thing over and over but were unable to tell me why.
