I did the same thing you mentioned above, only thing is my attorney did it on my behalf. XPresspost to send and also return envolope again with XPresspost including my Annex 1, Photos and last but not least my passport.Thank you for your time! However, I am not sure if they have left any option for us
The email says;
If you have a mailing address in Canada:
- The 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 8781
Ottawa, ON K1G 4B9
I finally got passport approved, return tracker has been activated. Expecting my passport back on Friday. I checked the Canada Post app to see the updates. It seems like it's been activated but not yet been processed to the facilities yet. I called up the Canada Post hotline to see whats going on. The guy I have spoken to was very friendly and helpful. He said that due to the strike my area is heavily effected (Toronto). He basically told me that express post is not as fast as it should be since there is a lot of backlog currently. He also mentioned that I should wait until Friday to receive it, if not give them a call back again, but he said that from Ottowa to Toronto it shouldn't take over 3 days. Hopefully i will receive it at the end of the week so i can travel and come back to become inland immigrant.
The only thing you can do right now is to be patient it seems. But Canada Post seems to be getting back so it should clear out soon. Best of luck to everyone!
