Hello members, I reside in USA. I have received PPR email to submit passports to Ottawa. After going through some forums I could see people were waited 6-8 weeks to get back their passport from Ottawa. So I am wondering is this a good idea to send passport to NY visa office rather than Ottawa. Anybody send their passport to Ottawa or NY recently? Please share your experience
Passport submission to Ottawa vs Newyork (PPR time)
- Thread starter coolusa
- Start date
Create a Fedex account and follow the procedure step by step. It will approx 1.5 months to get the passport back if your pics are correct. Please go to Walgreens to get Canadian standard passport picture. They know what to do about it.
Did you keep fedex envelop inside onward envelope? Above fedex link telling no need to keep return envelope where as ppr email saying* The Self-Addressed pre-paid envelope should be arranged with a courier that delivers between Canada and the U.S.A.*
So it took you less than 2 weeks to get your passport back after sending it to the Ottawa office?
Thank you...Just two more questions, pls help
1) Below is the address provided in PPR Email (pls see highlighted area). Not able to understand what they meant here.
CPCO – PR VISA
US Permanent /Temporary Residence VISA/Passports
365 Laurier Av. West
Ottawa ON
K1A 1L1
Did you write exactly as shown in bold letters OR just written only Passports .
This wording is to identify what document we are mailing or it is addressing their office department?
2) Did you go to Fedex office for creating onward mail and return mail slip OR created everything online?
3) Annexure A, required for each members OR one for the total application package?
TIA
1. I wrote US Permanent/Temp Residence VIA/PP only because limited characters allowed in the To part of the label: This is what my TO address looked like:
US PERMANENT/TEMP RESIDENCE VISA/PP
CPCO-PR VISA
365 LAURIER AVE W
OTTAWA, ON, C, K1A1L1
2. I went to FedEx office in person. We created our account in the FedEx Kiosk and encountered some technical issue, so we came back home and created the labels at home. I would recommend to do this step at your home itself, like creating account and both the shipment labels
3. only one Annexure A is required for the total application package. this is required for returning the passports.
Let me know if you need any more help
Hi,Thank you
What did you mention in the From address while generating return shipping label?
Did you fit everything in 'Name' field? or you split into Name and Company
Cant fit this entire thing in Name field 'CPCO-PR VISA | US PERMANENT/TEMP RESIDENCE VISA/PP '
Hello,
For the return envelope's shipping label,
1. At FedEx.com, you have to create an account with your mailing address, and also give your credit/debit card details.
2. Login to your account. There is a Ship Manager link.
https://www.fedex.com/en-us/shipping/ship-manager.html
Fill the details, call FedEx ship manager customer service (877 339 2774) for any clarifications. They will help in filling.
After generating shipping label, save as PDF. Ask your local FedEx office how they will require the return shipping label generated online. (Printout or pdf)
Hope this was helpful. Good luck!
