I used xpresspost with the courier address, which worked fine. It sometimes requires extra fee for asking for a signature.

I am just coming back from the post office.
The lady in their office said I can send to either PO or courier, but they prefer PO and even pick it up faster.
She even recommended not to use the priority service which delivers in one day.
So, I ended up sending to PO Box address.
Thanks though,
yes, you do need bank statement and enough money for you and your family for an year.sa-ha said:
You were supposed to send them an Express Canada Post envelop, not a UPS one. Mostly, you'll receive your passport in the regular post.ubc2010 said:
Hi All,
Finally just found out today that we have received our Confirmation of Permanent Residency!
While we've been celebrating that, we've also been making a list of things we still don't have answers to. Any help on these would be greatly appreciated:
1. My CoPR lists my wife and then asks "Have you any dependants other than those listed below?" (Hers likewise lists me and asks the same question.) We have two children who were born in Canada and are therefore citizens (and we listed them on our PR application, though of course they weren't 'applying' PR). Therefore, I'm assuming we don't need to list the children in response to those questions about dependants, right? Nor will the kids need to come to the border with us? Nor will they want to see immunization records for the kids?
2. Will Canadian bank statements suffice for any proof of funds requests, or do they have to see the more formal bank letters that were required in the application itself?
3. I assume I'll need to bring the same photos (x2) as we submitted with our application?
4. Although I'm still a Canadian student, I'm currently doing thesis research in the U.S. and the closest border crossing is far away from (and not the same province as) my university; that doesn't matter, does it?
5. Will we be able to access 'Service Canada' services at any port of entry (so we can get our new Social Insurance Numbers) or might we have to go further into the interior (to the next major city, for example)?
Any insights would be greatly appreciated!
For the admins (i.e. spreadsheet): my CoPR was apparently printed on September 30, but probably didn't arrive our friend's place (who's receiving our mail while we're in the U.S.) until a week later.
Best luck to all going forward.

Hi all,
I am preparing my application under PhD stream and I am not sure how I can fill question # 9 on the IMM0008 schedule 3 form "work in Canada" Have you previously worked full time for at least one year in an occupation...."
so I am confused whether TA and RA considered the same job or not as it's the same noc 4012?!
Also I have one year as an RA but it's not continuous like 4 months in a year and 8 months on another year.?
so should I answered yes or no for this question?
One more question, should I write down the time periods for my TA as well as RA on question 12?
I was TA "PART-TIME" in the 1st 8 months on my PhD then 4 months "full-time" as an RA then 4 months as "APART-TIME" then 8 "full-time" months as an RA and now I am a part-time TA
I am rally appreciating your reply as well as your understanding.
