Hi all,

My wife got passport request. However, trying to decide whether to send to Vienna or to send to Canada office. This is from the letter i received:

E. Report Back to the Case Processing Centre in Ottawa (CPC-O)
This option is only available to you if you and all of you accompanying dependents are currently in Canada and plan to be in Canada for at least three months with access to a Canadian residential address. Please follow these additional procedures:

a) First, you need to inform the Canadian Embassy in Vienna that you intend to submit your passport to the CPC-O. If you are required to pay the RPRF and haven’t done so already, you must provide the Canadian Embassy in Vienna a copy of your receipt before sending your passport to the CPC-O.

b) Add two passport-sized photos of yourself and any accompanying family member as per instructions at point “C” above.

c) Purchase a pre-paid letter-sized (32 x 24 cm) Xpresspost envelope from Canada Post (Regional type if you live in Ontario or Quebec; National type for other provinces and territories), at any Canada Post retail outlet or purchase a label online at http://www.canadapost.ca/personal/tools/cst/intro-e.asp

Complete the mailing label showing your full mailing address in the “Deliver To” field. Make a note of tracking numbers to monitor your envelope.

d) You are required to send your passport together along with a copy of the first page of this letter by mail or courier and all relevant document to one of the following address:

CPC – Ottawa – PR
365 Laurier Avenue West
Ottawa, ON, K1A 1L1
Canada


My wife and I will be in Canada so is this a better option? When the say "you need to inform the Canadian Embassy in Vienna that you intend to submit your passport to the CPC-O", what does this mean? How do i notify them? Do i send an email?

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
