Have a question regarding my passport.
I got an email last week to send my passport for a visa and get my COPR. It was CPC-Ottawa-PR, PO Box 8781, Ottawa, ON in the instructions. I'm inland applicant and my application office is Sydney, NS. I sent it via Canada Post XpressPost with a spare envelope inside. However, my package was delivered to Sydney, NS (someone even signed it) even though on the envelope I indicated Ottawa, ON with Ottawa postal code (I simply followed the instructions from the email). In Annex A it says PO: Centralized Intake Office (which is in Sydney).
I called Canada Post, the guy mentioned that he can see that the address is really Ottawa, but he couldn't really explain why it was sent to Sydney. When he asked whether I sent a passport there, then he said that likely it's the correct address (my guess is that they really checked PO Box and have particular instructions regarding this). He advised to call IRCC.
After calling IRCC, the guy mentioned that usually passports are sent to Ottawa, not to Sydney. He left a note for Sydney office to check this.
I'm like 90% sure that everything is correct, but just wanted to ask whether anybody has similar experience?
