@bosma_pol What happened with wrong photos? I'm planning sending the package. Just want to be careful
Hi guys, I received my PPR today. I am staying in the US and am going to leave my current apartment in the next two weeks and will be traveling. Can I use my friend's mailing address in the Annex A with my name and generate the return label with his address? Will this work?

Just sent new photos, been waiting for 9 days now, no communication whatsoever from them.
Does anybody here applied for PR while in the US? I just received my PPR on 6/3/22, but I have a flight that was already booked on July 3 in which I need my passport to travel. My concern is if my passport will be returned back on time if I sent it out immediately. Thanks to anyone who can provide information!
In this thread - and others like it - you'll see a lot of people applying from the US. You can do overnight FedEx or UPS shipping both ways (at a cost of $100-150+), and then you're in the hands of IRCC to handle it. From what I've read people are waiting on average 1-3 weeks for IRCC to do their thing.
So, in your case, it does seem a tad risky. But if everything goes smoothly and you sent out your package tomorrow, it seems *likely* but not *certain* you'd get your passport back before July 3.
I've applied for so many visas in my lifetime and none, and I mean none, took more that one week for stamping.... except this.
If there is one step of the process which the IRCC should absolutely not delay on, it's stamping original passports. It's ridiculous that in some cases it's taking more than a month (not often in Ottawa but seems to be standard in the NYC VO). Absolutely shambolic.

Thanks for the response.
Does anyone know the number of the embassy that I can put when mailing it, UPS is insisting that their telephone number is needed to ship the mail overseas. Hope someone can help me on this. Thanks!
IRCC specifically tells you not to do that and instead put your number/email there. If the store insists, just print the label yourself. Follow these steps - https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/sending-passport-from-usa-to-canada.507934/post-10083836
I believe you should put your own phone number and email address. I based that off the info on this page (and other peoples' post in these forums - just read back a few pages in some of these threads).

You're *actually* almost there now, at least until you get to decide when to land!
