    I used UPS to send the passports to CIC (1 day delivery). But CIC clearly mentioned in 'PPR' email that 'if you don't provide Canada post shipping label or envelope' then they will send the passports back in regular mail. So I believe it is not wise to take the risk. I used the 'Xpresspost USA'...

    I believe the dimensions are for the complete package aka envelope. But again I feel they don't care about it as long as it is with in reasonable limit and weight limit. So you should be fine. My prepaid label cost came around 34$(CAD) with 13 (L ) X 7(W) X 2 (H) with .60 KG. All the best!

    You can send your passports to Canada from USA. I am from India, and I did it, and got them back without any issues. Not only me, but I know lots of people who did it without any problem. The only reason you want to transfer your case to local office is either for interview or if you moved out...

    Do we need to fill out PR application form before landing? I remember reading some where on this forum, that now-a-days we don't need to fill out the PR application form. Any one did that already? Thanks!

    Nope. AVR is valid for H, L class visa also but F and J visa has more restrictions. H and L visa can go to Canada, Mexico and near by islands of USA and come back with in 30 days BUT F and J visa can go to Only Canada and Mexico, not near by Islands and other restrictions. Thanks!

    Thanks for the reply ... My concern is also when coming back to USA. Usually when you fly into the USA, then they will do finger print at air port, and I am not sure about driving back from Canada. Let's see if some one shares their experience. So far I didn't find any posts online saying finger...
