hi guys,

just a quick note on my experience with canadapost xpress service for mail

i sent my application on saturday morning from toronto just because I was so busy on friday, and realized that canadapost picks mails from the weekend up on monday morning, so starting with two days of delay, which might be critical for applicants with only several days of allowance for physical presence.

today, i checked the status and realized that it is expected to be delivered on friday, which is not different than regular mail - 5 business days.

so, if you are considering to use canadapost xpress, please avoid sending on weekend and beware that their delivery might not be as fast.

i have not checked with other alternatives before sending my application since canadapost is conveniently located a block away from my place.

it would be helpful for future applicants if you would share your experiences with different mailing alternatives under this topic...

I sent through puralator on Friday evening after their Friday pick up. They delivered it on Monday morning. My initial application was heavy too. Puralator was the least expensive of all. That was just my experience.
