Sending Passports to Ottawa

[HakikiKanada]

Hi All,

I got PPR. They asked me to send my and wife's passports to Ottawa. They will stamp the visa and send back to me. The issue is they are asking to include pre-paid envelope so when they return passports, they will not pay for it. There is no such a process between my country and Canada.

How can I send my passports?

In your PPR letter itself it would be written that if you are not in Canada then contact them again and they will change it to local VO in your country. After that, you have to go to nearest vfs and send ur passport.

There is noting on PPR letter about not being in Canada. It has my address on it which is clear that ı am not in Canada. This is what they want: "One self-addressed, pre-paid envelope with your complete mailing address so that we can return your passport(s) and Confirmation of Permanent Residence documents."

If you are not including pre-paid envelope they will send back the passport in normal mail. Try to get the same from UPS or Fedex

Unfortunately they also put a note to the letter :" We do not return passports by regular mail."

I think this is where they ask you to send a request to transfer the visa office to your home country so you can send your PP there instead

They asked me to send passports in 30 days. If I wait 2 more weeks, timing can be risky. What if I send documents to a friend in Canada, so she can send to ottawa for me?
