I also sent my passports to Canada and got it back. Don't worry - its usually Indian customs that confiscate the passport. Do you think US/ Canada customs will wary about Indian Passport rules? Even if they do, they will not open the package to check - "Oh which country passport it is? Let me see if its Indian then I'll confiscate else I'll dispatch".

Never happens. Only happens if you send it from India to overseas, or overseas to India.
:D
Great to know guys. True, I was also under the same impression about confiscating the passport passport based on a country.

I'm currently living in Nunavut and the nearest place to do medicals is Ottawa which is a 3hours flight. LOL

Thank you! yours is around the corner.
Whao!! How the heck did you reach there? LOL. Am currently in Toronto but am planning on moving to Saskatchewan. It's always been my goal to visit every Canadian Province. I hope to see Yukon, NWT and Nunavut soon ;D

Here is what it said:

[/Mailing instructions :

For U.S.A. clients:

Standard Procedure: The Consulate will return documents to addresses in the United States via U.S. Postal Service First Class Mail (Regular Mail).

U.S. EXPRESS MAIL: If you prefer U.S. Postal Service Express Mail, please enclose with your application a pre-paid U.S. Express Mail envelope - the correct U.S. postage must be affixed (we only accept regular stamps, metered stamps not acceptable). Enter a daytime telephone number on the mailing label above the recipient address. USPS has recently changed its "flat rate" policy for "Express Mail" or "Priority Mail" envelope, be sure to specify that the envelope will be mailed from New York City. If this envelope is not provided or if it has incorrect postal charges, your documents will be returned by regular mail without further notice to you.

Courier Service: Unless it is prepaid from a corporate account, we will not return your documents using ANY courier services (Fedex, UPS, DHL).

For addresses in Canada:

Standard Procedure: The Consulate will return documents to addresses in Canada via U.S. Postal Service First Class Mail (Regular Mail).

Courier Service: Unless it is prepaid from a corporate account, we will not return your documents using ANY courier services (Fedex, UPS, DHL).

I do NOT have a corporate UPS/Fedex account.
So it's a good idea to use USPS / Canada post to mail the PP.

Interesting. Surprised that they moved your file away from Canada (even though you are within Canada).
I assumed that you lived in US :D

Now I realize that you sent your passport 'overseas'.
No I never lived on US. They transferred my application just for Interview purposes, and nothing else. First time I have ever been to US was for PR interview.

Well, I didn't mean in general terms that they don't open any of the package. They do if something looks fishy. However, seizing it for a legit PPR - don't think that's gonna happen.

But yeah, not applicable with Indian customs. First they have to abide by this Indian Passport Act rule, Second - they love making new avenues for their own good :)

Goku said:
Who said that that they don't open it ? They might open to check whether its original PP or forged.

Try a simple experiment: Get a black light bulb (cosmic light), turn it on at night in dark and then see your passport. See security feature on visa stamping, and all pages of passport. Forged PP wont have those features. I have seen a real CBSA documentaries in which they do such things.

Totally agree with your last line. If Indian customs find out about PP they might seize it.

It seems like CPC-O is currently working on application submitted in October. I noticed A few of you got their MR or RPRF requested which is good. Anyone submitted end of October and heard back too? which means they are close to November applications

Hello Forumites,

For those of you who have sent their passports from USA to CPC-O for visa stamping, could you please assist with a step by step instructions on how to go about with the whole process. I am sorry if this has already been discussed earlier. Or if someone can direct me to the correct link/page, it would be greatly helpful.

Thanks in advance.

These latest PPRs to May applicants indicate that my theory probably holds true. CPC-O sends PPRs in batches on the second week of each month as was the case with January and February. If you received none, you may apparently relax for another month. And it sucks :-(

Does anyone know when Ottawa asks for additional documents, how long it will take for them to include that in the application?

Also when do you normally see the second line update? Thanks
