    Just ask the doctor to update your address. In our case, our telephone numbers were changed; we asked the doctor to update it. At the same time, send an email to CPC-CTD-Ottawa @ cic.gc.ca and inform them about your address change.

    Send it by express post to courier address. I got the passports with visa back today. I also got the answer to my own question: you just need to complete the "to" section of return package. They will stick their address on the "from" section their selves.
