Hi,

I received my PPR and currently outside of Canada (living in Europe).

My passport is from a country where I need eTA (please see message below for my instructions):

b. If your passport is from a country whose citizens need an eTA to travel to Canada or your passport is from the United States, you will need to submit one photocopy of the photo page and any pages containing amendments of the passport for you and each accompanying family member (Note: any accompanying family member whose passport does require a visa however, will need to submit their original passport as per Step 2a). Your passport(s) should be valid for at least 6 months. Please do not send your original passport(s).

Here are my questions:

1. To clarify, this means I will not send my physical passport to the VAC.
2. My VAC states that if I want my passport mailed back to me, I need to send a "proof of courier payment receipt for the returning passport by post". However, since I am not sending my passport, do I need to still send this proof of courier payment? Will the VAC need to send me anything back by post, if not my passport?

Thank you.
