I had the same confusion when it was my wife's turn to send in her PP. i think on the letter they state prepaid return envelope, but TCS in pakistan does not do that. Here in canada you can get those from UPS or FEDEX, but not in pakistan. all TCS will give you is a pre-ADDRESSED return envelope. this will allow you to fill in your address on it so that there are no errors from CHCs part when they are ready to send it back. the actual delivery will be COD (charge on delivery), so you will need to have the cash to give to the courrier when he calls to advise you the cost. it cost my wife in karachi about Rs.200 per delivery, plus we used to give the guy a tip so that he brings any future letters even faster.Ali.CA said:Did you send your passport with prepaid return envelope (as required by CIC in PPR) or you through normal courier?
we found out later on that the address that was entered in mississauga as my wife's address in pakistan was incomplete in the GCMS system. the addresses in pakistan aren't as clear cut as those in canada, so the person here filled it in as if it was, and after letter's being returned to the embassy due to them being undelivered, they noticed the difference between the paper files that we had sent, and that in their system. by that time, we had already sent them a few pre-addressed TCS envelopes to use to avoid any such delays.
