Mga kabayan i need answers of some of the confusing things how to send passport in embassy.

1.) i am currently in canada and i sent my passport to my mom so she can include my son passport in the mail before we send it to the embassy.
-question: can my mom personally send it directly to the embassy of canada in manila?
-they have this mail that i need to use courier collect and i am confused. The returning address is my address here in canada. so maybe when they are ready to send back my passport is that when they will contact me and pay the courier before they send my documents?

If anybody has experience about this please share i am just confused.

Hi. parang pareho yung situation naten. When my Dad sponsored us, he told us to mail all our passports to him. He was the one to send it to the Visa Office in Manila. The return address is my dad's address here. So when we got our visa, Manila Visa Office mailed the passports to him here in Canada. He sent it through Fedex and the Visa Office send it back through Fedex as well. Then he came home a week after with all our passports with our visas. Sinundo nya kame sa Pilipinas.

I suggest check mo na sa local PO nyo. Minsan kasi talagang delay daw magdeliver ng mails. Since sobrang importante yan, icheck nyo na sa PO. :)
