Living in the US, sending certificate and passport to a friend's address in Canada

[MissJustice]

Hi guys,
In two days I will drive to Canada for my citizenship ceremony. I then plan to give my friend's address where my certificate will be send and later my passport.

I am worried that they can arrive when my friend is out and may have trouble picking it up from the post office on my behalf. Do I put her name as C/O (care of) underneath my name? Or would it be easier to ask a different friend and have it delivered to her office where the receptionists signs for everything. Please tell me what you guys did.

Also, I got married in the US while waiting for my citizenship. I just need to send my citizenship certificate and certified copy of my marriage certificate to the passport office in order to have my passport in my new last name?

Thanks everyone.

They do mail it to US. You can talk to officer during the ceremony.
You don't want it that way?

no because it will take a lot longer, even up to 6 months.

Hello,

I am in the same situation as you. I have applied for adjustment of status in the USA while waiting for my Canadian citizenship process. Did your advance parole got approved? Or CIC let you take oath while in the USA?

If you used your Advance parole, Did you expedite? what reason did you provide?

Thank you

Have them mail it to your friend. I did the same, they mailed it to my friend who sent me the certificate, and I used the certificate to apply for passport abroad.

One thing to avoid is sending or mailing passport to another country as it could be intercepted by the customs. I beleive it is one of the prohibited items.
