Nah...that option was there before, when Detroit/buffelo consulate was open. Its is no longer an option, if it had I could have easily drove to detroit and got it done the same day. It was clearly written in the email to send my PP to CPP-O, despite they having my current US address. I think some peoples in this forum has also got the same email who are in US, I completely agree PP request shoud be made by local consulate of that country where the applicant is residing. For exampe if i want visa to China i should not be asked to mail my passport to china. Canada has many consulates here in US, i dont know why they asks US applicants to mail PP to canada.
