You have to send CIC your passport, 2 photos
(as per the requirements) with a copy of Annex A (attached to the same email you have received at the very end. Copy it in MS word and follow the instructions). Mail it to CIC depending upon your location (Canada or US) as they have different mailing address for Canada and US. Also, you have to put one new trackable envelope (which they will activate later), so they can mail you back your passport and COPRs.

Folks, Has anyone used any other option to send passports to CPC OTTAWA other than Canada Post? such as FedEx or hand deliver?

 

[gctarun]

My e-Application for visitor vias was approved. I sent my passport to Ottawa-CPC after they requested for passport.
I sent it to through USPS. The USPS tracker says "Item available for pick up". Does that mean CPC will pick up from USPS/Canada Post? My understanding was that passports will be delivered to their office. Please advise.

Hello Friend,

Were your passports picked up by CPC Ottawa? If yes, can you please let me know what steps you have taken to ensure CPC picked up your package?

It's been almost 8 business days and still no updates. This is really frustrating, not able to connect to an agent despite of trying on different timings and almost every day. Today I received similar mail again requesting for PPR, but looks like the template is for those who are in India/outside Canada.
I believe this should be for my spouse who is currently in India on Vacation. But it creates so much confusion when they dont respond to actual questions and dont update in My Account.

It takes approximately 20 days to get updates.
