has anyone dropped the Passports in the drop down box at the London CHC? coz in the e-mail attachment they r saying that we (me & my husband) can collect the passports after 2 weeks. is it true that we can collect our passports really after 2 weeks?
i will appreciate if the seniors/experts can resolve my query...
i am very tensed...
Many thanks in advance

You can find the details in your PPR. I have copies the test from PPR below.
Dear Applicant,
Your application has reached the final stage of processing. So that your permanent resident visa(s) can be
issued, you must now submit the documents listed below. (These instructions do not apply to accompanying
family members who are entitled to Canadian citizenship, because they will have to travel on their Canadian
passports.)
1. Your passport and a passport for each accompanying family member. The passports must meet the
Passport Specifications on page 2 of this letter.
2. Two recent photographs of yourself and two recent photographs of each of your accompanying family
members. The photos must meet the Photo Specifications on page 2 of this letter.
3. The “Updated Information Chart” on page 3, fully completed for you and each accompanying family
member.
Submit your passport(s), photos and information chart within 45 days of the date of this letter (or the date of the
email if you received this by email). All documents for you and your accompanying family members must be
submitted together in one package. Follow the instructions on page 4 of this letter to submit your package.
To submit your package by courier, mail, or in our drop box
In your package, include a self-addressed envelope that is A4 size or larger (21cm x 30cm or 8.5” x 12”). Do not
put stamps on your return envelope. Do not use a courier envelope as your return envelope. If your return
address is in the UK, you may use a Royal Mail Special Delivery envelope that is large enough (keep a copy of the
tracking number).
If you received this letter by mail, use the address label enclosed to submit your package by mail or courier. If you
received this letter by email, you may mail or courier your package to:
PHEP Processing
Immigration Division
Canadian High Commission
38 Grosvenor Street
London, W1K 4AA
United Kingdom
You may also deposit your package in our drop box, which is located inside the entrance to the address above.
Packages may be placed in the drop box any time that the building is open (opening hours are on our website).
Address your package to “PHEP Processing”.
Due to the postal situation in UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar and Yemen, passports and visas
will be sent by courier to addresses in these countries. For all other addresses, passports and visas will be sent by
registered mail. If you prefer to pick up your passport(s) and visa(s), then submit your package in person
according to the instructions in the section below.
You should expect to be without your passport(s) for six weeks, so do not arrange any travel that will require your
passport(s) during this period. If you have not heard from us after six weeks, you may contact us using the email
form on our website.
To submit your package in person
Our in-person service to submit and pick up passports is open on Thursdays between 2 pm and 3 pm at 38
Grosvenor Street, London, UK. You may submit your package in person at this time. You will be given a receipt
acknowledging that we have received it. You must show this receipt to collect your passport(s) and visa(s).
Because we require two weeks to issue your visa(s), you may only collect your passport(s) on the second Thursday
after you submit your package.
This service will not operate when the High Commission is closed. Our website shows our holiday closures (these
may differ from UK bank holidays). If Christmas Eve or New Year’s Eve falls on a Thursday, then this service will
also be closed on that day, even if the High Commission remains open.
If you would like someone else to collect your passport(s) and visa(s), that person must present:
the receipt that was issued to you,
a signed letter from you authorizing them to collect your passport(s), and
one piece of government-issued identification that includes their name and photograph.
P152E (11/09) Page 7 of 7
If you would like your passport(s) and visa(s) mailed back to you instead of picking them up, then follow the
instructions in the section above entitled “To submit your package by mail, courier or in our drop box”.
