How to send passport for visa?

[ib90]

Hi all!

I applied for a PR from within Canada under the old, pre-EE system. I finally got my ready for visa email earlier this week, but I'm a little confused about how I should send my passport and documents over.

The email says to:

Submit all documents by mail in a single package and send to the following address:
CPC – Ottawa – PR
PO Box 9780
Ottawa ON
K1G 4B9

Does that mean it has to be regular mail? Can I send it via courier (Xpresspost)? Any tips or advice?
I'm just a little concerned since they didn't specify a separate courier address.

Thanks!

As said, Only by Canada Posts, express post, include a pre paid express post envelope inside.

Keep record of both tracking numbers.

Do it ASAP

I am in Canada and I've sent my passport to the wrong address (The Laurier Ave one that is for people sending passports from the USA) instead of the PO Box 9780.

I have sent an email to the Ottawa office CPC-CTD-Ottawa@cic.gc.ca

Any thoughts?


· If you have a mailing address in Canada:
- The self-addressed, pre-paid Xpresspost envelope must be from Canada Post. Please note that we will not return documents to a Canadian address via any other courier.
- Submit all documents by mail in a single package and send to the following address:
CPC – Ottawa – PR
PO Box 9780
Ottawa ON
K1G 4B9

· If you have a mailing address in the U.S.A.:
- The self-addressed, pre-paid envelope should be arranged with a courier that delivers between Canada and the U.S.A.
- Submit all documents by mail in a single package and send to the following address:
CPC – Ottawa – PR
365 Laurier Avenue West
Ottawa ON
K1A 1L1

I think you will be fine, just wait for response from an email. Hope they will get back to you soon.

Have they replied to your email? Does anybody know if it matters if you mistakenly send the passport to 365 Laurier West from within Canada after receiving PPR?

Hope all went well for you!!

They are basically in the same building. Send them an email to Ottawa office, and check it through IRCC call centre about it.
