Do we need to attach self-adderessed pre-paid envope with passport
Hi All,
Just wondering, Do we need to attach self-adderessed pre-paid envope with passport for passport to be returned quickly with shiny visa?
Thanks for your advice in advance.

I didn't bother, since they only ask for a self-addressed envelope, and many people here reported that courier labels/envelopes were just ignored. I didn't want to complicate or confuse matters.

we've been advised to get an international pre-paid Canada Post envelope (obviously from within Canada) to avoid normal post delays.

We did think about handing the passports in personally, but a trip to London from Edinburgh might not be the cheapest way to go about it, but i'm not too keen on sending my pp through the mail.
Have you had your passport back yet, and did CIC send it back through the mail?
Thanks in advance.

Re: Do we need to attach self-adderessed pre-paid envope with passport
haven't had anything back yet.........
I did send it (to NY) express post, so I know it arrived the morning of 26th May. If (and that is a huge word in CIC speak!) they stick to their own timelines, they should 'turn them around' within 15 working days. That was up earlier this week. So keeping everything crossed they come back very very soon (I want to book flights!!!).

I'm waiting for my PPR from Detroit right now... I'm going to use Fedex. Has anyone done this? On Detroit's website it says they won't accept it if you check "credit card" as payment method on the waybill... I have no idea why but would they accept it if i checked "cash" on the waybill? any advice appreciated

I posted my passport off on Saturday June 13th using RoyalMail Special delivery - I needed to track it and have evidence it got there.
I included a self-addressed envelope for the return and made sure it was pre-paid Special Delivery as well. Again, so I can track it. I don't trust RoyalMail, but special delivery is pretty reliable.

It took just 10 days for my passport to arrive from London, UK to Canada via CIC's postal method. I thought that was pretty quick! (Considering it was Royal Mail and Canada Post signed for. )
