I have to send my passports back from Toronto to CIC London for PR visa insertion. Does anyone have any experience or can recommend a reliable secure courier to ensure they get to where they need to be on time without any concern?

I have used the following without concerns:

DHL
FedEX
UPS
Purolator

Can you use those without having a business account?

Is there a way I can pre pay for CIC to courier back as well?

Thanks

They have drop points and do pick up.
Fedex at Staples or Kinkos http://fedex.com/ca_english/shipping...updropoff.html
UPS - UPS store, Mail Boxes Etc http://www.ups.com/dropoff_CA/?CLIEN...AN25&loc=en_CA
Purolator - Post Office (Express Post International)
DHL - http://wap.dhl.com/wrd/sarea/ca.html

When you fill in the way bill for outbound, you can mark it to be paid by shipper, you, by credit card and perhaps fill in a return way bill to include with your documents? Marking this to be paid by receiver (you) for the return. That is assuming the office you are sending to do it this way.

Brilliant. Thanks Aviator!

Sent mine from Waterloo, Ontario, in Summer through local UPS store. Cost about $56 for four passports and form.
I didnt do a reply bill as Id heard from earlier postings that people had tried this and CIC posted regular mail anyway.
We received our visas back by regular post within four weeks.

What happens if they get lost in either direction and the 45 day period to get visas inserted expires while I get a new passport, we wouldn't lose pr and have to start again would we????
