Hi

Did anyone else post with Xpress Canada Post on Saturday?!
According to their website now it's been DELAYED and I don't think mine will reach within 31st for OWP!!! This is ridiculous! And I'm guessing there's absolutely NOTHING I can do either!!

Hello Huyoen,

I sent my application through Xpresspost without the paid option of signature. I sent it to the P.O. Box address. Although some consider Xpresspost as a courier service, I read that it is still Canada Post, so they have access to the P.O. Box and should be able to deliver it.

Update: my application was not rerouted and was delivered on January 30th, 2019.

Anyway, I called IRCC 2 weeks ago and they didn't have any news on the extension of the pilot project. I was told that spouses could still apply for the OWP after January 31, 2019, and it just wouldn't take only 4 months to receive it. I keep checking both websites (PR sponsorship and OWP) and the instructions are the same (that you can mail the 2 applications together). None of these websites mentions any deadline to submit these 2 applications together, which makes me think that they should at least accept applications posted until the date that the websites show such instructions.

Read my previous post regarding courier shipping.

" Fedex works best and is fastest shipping overseas. They are more expensive. Can contact them on weekends. No problems!
UPS was good with excellent refund policy if it has not been delivered 24 hours after the expected delivery date and time.
Canada post Xpresspost shipped within Canada was good and the least expensive option. ( a little slow but may not be important ).
Previously I have used Xpresspost overseas and was not happy with their tracking when they passed it off to another
inferior delivery company that disappeared with our items. We eventually got it back after many calls.
Tried shipping overseas with DHL and will never use them again! Expensive/slow. Our overseas parcel was held and returned
through no fault of our own. No refund, no call back from their shipping office, and no one available to contact on weekends. "
Hope this helps
