After months of blood, sweat and tears, my application is sealed up and ready to go.

Annnd, one last question before sending it off.

I went to the post office and sending it regular mail (from Germany using Deutsche Post) with tracking requires delivery upon receipt. Do I send it then to the Mississauga P.O. box address (I'm assuming there will be no one to sign for it there?) or the courier address (even though it will be regular mail, not a courier service?)

I would hate to have this get lost in transit :(

Thanks in advance!
 
If it's not courier service (UPS, DHL, Fedex, etc), don't send it to the courier address. That seems fairly simple to me, unless I'm missing some other reason why?

I believe that if you use your public/national postal service (Deutsche Post), then it will get handed to Canada Post, and Canada Post means regular mail drop-off.

I haven't driven over to Mississagua to see what their post drop-off looks like, but I'm guessing there are two locations and sign-off areas, and they don't mingle at the entry way.

I sent mine to the regular PO Box with a tracking number and sign on delivery, and that worked fine for me, but I sent it from within Canada. I don't know how tracking numbers work between different national postal services.

Sending it by regular post your taking a big chance.

If its not to late, send it by courier such as DHL, or even try to send it using EMS
