First of all I am surprised why you have not read email carefully and missed the instruction provided.
if you are in Canada why you decided to send Passport to New York

Anyway coming to your original Q. If applicant forget to attach return Envelop, it will come to your mailing address via Canada regular post, which may take 3-4 days extra to deliver and no tracking for that

Good Luck

I guess that's because his file is currently in New York ?

Yes they will return by regular mail.

Sent my passport today. I am planning for a travel on May 19th. Friends, do you think its feasible?

 

[Imam Gomaa]

Thanks all.
First: This is the office I received my 'Ready for Visa email' from. And also this is where my application was transferred to.
Secondly: I read the email word by word and complied with the instructions, yet there is no mention whatsoever of returning envelop. I quote:
Courier Service: Unless it is prepaid from a corporate account, we will not return your documents using ANY courier services (Fedex, UPS, DHL).
For addresses in Canada:
Standard Procedure: The Consulate will return documents to addresses in Canada via U.S. Postal Service First Class Mail (Regular Mail).
Courier Service: Unless it is prepaid from a corporate account, we will not return your documents using ANY courier services (Fedex, UPS, DHL).
This office does not acknowledge receipt of passports.
Passport(s) are returned by mail within 30 business days. This period does not include mailing time.
So, do you recommend sending a returning express envelope to them with an explanation letter or just wait for their regular delivery?!
Thanks all.

Not sure where you got those words. But here's what it says in mine:

If you have a mailing address in Canada: To allow you to track your passports through the mail, we strongly recommend that you purchase two (2) PREPAID Canada Post Xpresspost envelopes (National), letter-sized (318 x 241 mm), at any Canada Post retail outlet. CPC-Ottawa accepts no responsibility for any passport lost in the mail.

- Complete the mailing label on one envelope showing your mailing address in the “Deliver To” field.
- Keep a tracking number sticker from each envelope.
- Fold and enclose the self-addressed envelope in the other envelope along with your passport(s) and a copy of this request letter.

Obviously, the second prepaid envelope is the returning one having mailing address to the "Delivery To" field.

Dear cabalan:
This is the email I recieved from them:

New York, New York 10020-1175
Tel: (212) 596-1783 * Fax: (212) 596-1791


The processing of your application appears complete at this time. Please submit the required passport(s) within 30 days to this office (not the VAC) as the issuance of your visa is time sensitive.

Note: As of December 1, 2011, Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) will no longer issue a Permanent Resident counterfoil to applicants from visa exempt countries. All applicants approved for permanent residence, whether they hold a passport from a visa exempt country or from a country requiring a visa for Canada, will continue to be issued a Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR) document.

Please consult our website for a complete list of visa exempt countries:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/visas.asp#exemptions

If you and/or your dependent(s) hold a passport from a visa exempt country, this office will NOT require your/their passport(s) to finalize this case. Only submit the passport(s) for those persons who require a visa for Canada. For all others, submit a clear photocopy of EVERY page in their valid passport

Passport Requirements
! Your original passport (must be valid for at least one year) and the original passports for each of your accompanying dependants.
! Please ensure that there is at least one blank page, other than the last page, in each of the passports. A parent and one or more children may share the same passport. If there is more than one child included in the parent's passport, ensure there is one blank page for each child.
! The immigrant visa placed in your passport shows an expiry date. You may enter Canada anytime before the expiry date shown on the visa; this date cannot be extended. If you fail to enter Canada before this date, you will be required to re-apply and submit new application and processing fee.
! Please note: Immigrant visas cannot be placed in Diplomatic, Official or Military passports.

Photographs

! Four (4) additional photos for yourself and your accompanying dependants. (Please see the following instructions)

*** IMPORTANT REMINDER***

- On the back of one photo of each person (principal applicant and each family member), write the person's name, and enclose one photo of each person in an envelope.

Enter a daytime telephone number on the mailing label above the recipient address. USPS has recently changed its "flat rate" policy for "Express Mail" or "Priority Mail" envelope, be sure to specify that the envelope will be mailed from New York City. If this envelope is not provided or if it has incorrect postal charges, your documents will be returned by regular mail without further notice to you.
