Hi all,

I have all the requried documentation ready to be sent to CIC (family sponsorship). I am wondering if I can put all the documents in a small box and ship it to the Case Processing Centre? Or must we send those in an envelope? I tried with different envelope sizes but none of them fits.
A box would be perfect.

Thanks.

Hi,

I think you can send a box. I have no idea how ours were sent, but when speaking to our lawyer, I asked if we had too much stuff (photos etc.). She told us no, and that she had just recently, for the case before ours, sent off a big box of photos and documents. When describing the size, she pointed to one of these boxes sitting in the corner of her office: http://www.greenbuckeye.com/uploaded_images/ream-of-paper-751715.jpg (the one on the left obviously!).

Here's an awesome thread that shows how to organise your application and all that:

As you can see in the first photo, they used a regular filing envelope which I assume was then taped closed at the back. You could also use one of these, tape it and then wrap it in brown parcel paper before addressing the outside.

oh wow ! thank you for promoting my thread, i was pleasantly surprised and flattered :)
i would also like to add that u can see photos on the latter pages of the thread on how the courier packaged it up. i was also expecting a box but apparently it fit into their biggest document package. :)

Ah, you're totally right! A courier could take care of the problem for the OP! :)
