Folks

I am unable to find a clear answer on the forum with respect to using Canada Post Priority to send passports from Toronto to Ottawa.

1) Can i use Canada Post Xpresspost or Priority to send to Ottawa? I am talking about sending not receiving. I understand receiving needs to be via a prepaid xpresspost envelope. If no, what is the mailing option I need to ask at Canada Post?

2) If it is a Yes to Xpresspost or Priority for sending, then do I use the PO Box address or the other courier address?

Appreciate advice from those who sent their passports to Ottawa with a Canadian mailing address. Its Urgent as I need to send my passport.

Thanks in advance

1) you can use express post, the mail is between 2 major cities so it will arrive the next time in all cases. I sent mine via express post from Edmonton and it arrived next day.
I would also advise to ask for signature option for the sent/return mail to make yourself more confinent.

2) use the same exact address in the ppr email under (sending from Canada section). I remember it have a po box#

Hi Guys,

I am a bit confused. The instructions seem to be very vague or I am just having a hard time processing it.

So, I am to go to Canada post (I'm in Toronto), get a Prepaid Xpresspost envelope and send it to the PO Box address.

Now, I get a normal envelope, put in the prepaid envelope and my passport along with the letter and send it. That's it right? or am I missing a step?

I remember doing the same thing when I applied for a Canadian visa.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

Any help/inputs will be really really appreciated.

Thank you.

Get both prepaid. They come in two size. In the bigger one put the smaller prepaid envelope and passport and the print out pages with pictures. That is all.
