You have to send your passport. Photocopies are for those who are visa exempt for example, a UK Citizen.

I wish you all the best and see you in Canada. ;)

Thanks mate, much appreciated. See you in Canada. Can you plz help with 2 more things -

1. Where in the US can i get thee photos in the format they wanted? any idea?

2. In PPR email they have written "The Self-Addressed pre-paid envelope should be arranged with a courier that delivers between Canada and the U.S.A." , but I dotn know what kind of prepaid envelopes are allowed and which are not allowd. Is there any restriction or can I send any kind of self-adddressed pre-paid envelope? I am thinking of using UPS service. Thanks.

1) Please refer http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/canada-passport-request-photos-from-us-only-people-who-live-or-lived-in-the-us.175538/

2) I suggest you visit a local Fedex office and ask them. They do provide prepaid courier bag for return shipment. I am sure DHL also provide similar service.

Thanks. For the 2) there is no particular instructions (like can't use overnight service) for thee return envelope, right?
The Fedex and DHL are pretty good in the service quality. Just tell them normal tracked delivery on weekdays. Nothing fancy.
