When I called CIC last week they said today will be a working day for them and Dec 25 and 26 is a holiday.

I sent my package yesterday which was supposed to be delivered today and my tracking shows:

11.50 AM - Attempted Delivery - Receiver unavailable

If they say they are open then they aren't going to be closed
Did you out the correct address? It could just be that a number of people are away and that The mailroom guy wasn't there for a moment.

Address I sent it to:
Citizenship & Immigration Canada
Canadian Experience Class
Centralized Intake Office
49 Dorchester Street
Sydney, NS
B1P 5Z2
Canada

My bad luck if the mailtroom guy was not available for a moment (or taking a leak) - not the kind of start I was looking for :'(

Toby: Are you saying that the address is not correct? I took it off of CIC Website....

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/5609ETOC.asp#5609E7

4000 address is for regular mail.. the above address is correct for courier and that's what I did - I used Purolator xPress envelope services
