Does tracking of Registereed Mail work?

I sent an item this past Monday (June 30th)  by Registered Mail to a location outside of Canada. The tracking on Canada Post shows the item as received by the post office and then it disappears - just an arrow showing item is in transit, but not scanned in anywhere

 

Do I panic? Does Registered Mail usually show tracking like Expedited.

 

I called Canada Post but they were not very helpful - told me that once the item has left Canada that it won't show up on their system. Anyone had any experience with registered mail going missing?

Item arrived a week ago and I received positive feedback from the buyer. According to Canada Post tracking - the item is still in transit!

Julie: That is what I've seen a few times, be interesting to know if it ever shows as delivered!

Conversely, all 3 of my China registered letters show as delivered! Wonders never cease!

That is factually impossible as Canada Post does not deliver outside of Canada. They can only report what the delivering PO says.
