**MISSISSAUGA PROCESSING** - Outland Spousal Applicants
- Thread starter mcroze
- Start date
If you're sending your PP to Canada and are expecting your PPR to be returned in an envelope on which you've stuck USPS postage, that's not going to happen.
USPS isn't CanadaPost. If you put a US Stamp on that return envelope, it can't be mailed in Canada. Even if they tried, Canada Post would just reject it. The postage needs to be from the country it's mailed in. In this case, it would need to be Canadian postage.
More importantly, the instructions explicitly state that you should use a courrier service and NOT regular mail. (Even within Canada they say to use Canada ExpressPost, not regular mail). Having made it this far in your application process, I wouldn't get cavalier at this stage, when they're about to mail you the thing you've waited months for. You want the accountability of tracking from Courrier companies envelopes.
In short, could your PPR get back to you from Canada if your Self-Addressed envelope had US postage on it? No.
Could your PPR get back to you if it had Canadian postage on it, instead of using a courrier? It's possible but by no means guaranteed. I wouldn't take that chance, myself.
June 2017 Mississauga applicant here. Finally, received my Passport Request email an hour ago. So excited!!! Finally the end is here. For a straight forward case, my application processing took a bit longer than the average Mississauga applicant (9 months and 5 days between Application Received and PPR). However, I'm just really relieved it got done before the 12 month mark. Hoping to be able to move to Canada by the beginning of June.

Hi all! I'm an October applicant. Just received pre-arrival letter from CIC this morning! GC Key has changed to BGC in process, and ECAS shows DM. This was all so unexpected and it just so happened to fall on me and my wife's 15 months of marriage -- so this is extra special 
Hoping to receive my PPR soon.

Hi All,
I have landed in Canada 2 months back and need to initiate the family sponsorship (family is Outside Canada)
1. Firstly, i have understood is a paper based process (unlike express entry). Please correct if i am right.
2. Do I need to be on salary/job in order to show funds. Because i have not got any job offer yet. Besides, I have maintained necessary funds in Bank accounts as per CIC family guidelines.?
3. Regarding PCC: Do i need to send original copy of PCC to CIC office for my spouse.
4. Lastly, I had applying for my PR as unaccompanied, where my spouse and child details were also provided to CIC such as Medical, PCC and personal, travel history and they were also given UCI number. Does this help in expedite the process for their (family) PR application now.
Please provide your suggestions.
Thanks,

Hi guys. I got my PPR email a few days ago. My question is, can my Canadian husband mail my documents and the pre-paid return envelope from Canada and and write down his mailing address as the return address? This is the same address that is listed as Sponsor's address in our application.

Yes, this is what I did and it worked just fine.
Thank you so much for your response. I was a bit worried about whether the address on the return label HAD to be the Principal Applicant's mailing address as listed in the application forms. Your reply put me at ease. Once, again thank you so much.
No worries. They don't really care where they're sending it to, as long as you provide an address. It says so in the directions, but make sure nothing is filled out on the prepaid canada post envelope. They put stickers on with the mailing info once it gets to the visa office (or at least ours did).
Sure. Will make sure not to fill out the pre-paid Canada Post return envelope. Thanks once again.
