I used Canada Post Xpresspost yesterday. Unfortunately I let my worries manifest and googled "Canada Post immigration". Read through horror stories and I'm worried now more than ever. I'm tempted to rush to Canada Post and take my application back and send it through FedEx (if it's still there in the morning).

What carrier did you guys use? Anyone had good experiences with CP Xpresspost?

I think the odds of mail lost are very slim. Everyone who gets lost cic mail will be likely to conplain online whereas the overwhelming majority that have no issues will not post a thing about it. The fears are probably overblown. But understandable. Itl be a stress constantly for the duration.

Used Canada Post Tracked, no problem. arrived a day earlier than originally expected and I could view the signature online once delivered. Had a package shipped from Amazon the other day via Canada Post tracked and the tracking details were spot on and it arrived when expected.

I guess Canada post move around the most mail/packages compared to everyone else, so will naturally have more complaints than any other courier even though it's only a tiny fraction of a percent that probably has any problems.

It arrived on time yesterday with a signature! :D Looking back, I still think I should have used FedEx. The extra money would have been worth the peace of mind (at least for my type of personality).

I'm sure Fedex also lose mail/packages from time to time if you google it, you can stress about anything if you let yourself over think.

You can relax a bit for a few weeks now, chance to organize PCC if not all ready done so so.

I sent off my application via CanadaPost Xpresspost as well. Though I do have to say that I wish I hadn't sent it so close to the holidays. The line was so long and the lady helping me was right at the end of her shift was zero help. I said I wanted to get a signature added and she replied with "It's going to a P.O. Box so it can't be signed for anyway" ugh. At least I did get tracking. Here's hoping it gets where it needed to go.
