I'll check with the lawyer on Monday. I see both addresses on that site. Check out this link.

http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/mexico-mexique/contact-contactez.aspx?lang=eng

One other potential problem has arisen. We've decided to send my wife and stepson's passports and other documents to the embassy via UPS. Again, there is no UPS facility in my wife's town, so, as indicated earlier, we will have to send a messenger to UPS in the capital of my wife's state with the package and to pick up the pre-paid envelope. Now, according to the guy at UPS, UPS doesn't ship to my wife's town, so on the pre-paid envelope, we'll have to put the address of the UPS facility as the "to" address and then the guy from UPS will arrange shipment to her hometown once the package arrives at UPS. Now, how that means that UPS doesn't ship to my wife's hometown, I have no clue. To me, that is UPS shipping to her town. I'm just repeating what the guy said to my wife.

My question is this. If the representative from UPS does in fact write the UPS facility in the capital city of my wife's home state as the "to" address on the pre-paid return envelope, will my wife then have to change her mailing address in the cover letter to match the UPS facility address? This is only a one-time thing for the purposes of receiving her and my stepson's passports and visas back. Or, would my wife keep her mailing address in the cover letter as her current mailing address in her hometown and instead enclose a note with the documents explaining to the embassy why the return envelope shows the "to" address as the UPS facility in the capital of my wife's state and make it clear that this is only being done one time only for the purposes of getting her passports and visas back? Would this be considered a change of mailing address to the embassy, and could it cause delays? Please get back to me as soon as possible. Thank you, and have a good weekend.
Ok if you send the package and you are using UPS or FEDEX, the package the Embassy send it's going to arrive first in the facility closer to your wife town. Why don't tell them to call you and let you know, when the package arrive so someone can pick it up. I don't know if its a good idea or not, maybe you can ask that to the UPS guy and give him a reward. That way you don't have to worry about the address problem with the Embassy.

Congratulations!!!

Air Canada, Aeromexico, WestJet, and Air Transat fly direct. Other options may emerge if you look up your specific city combinations on non-airline specific sites (e.g, matrix.itasoftware.com) or arrivals/departure boards for airports near the cities she would depart/arrive in.
Congratulations!

Air Canada would be the best option.

Thanks. Air Canada it is. Now that that's solved, I just wish I knew the correct address of the embassy of Canada in Mexico City. It's crazy, but the embassy's website lists the two addresses both on their website. I'm wondering if maybe one is for regular mail and one is for courier.

This is the correct address where all applications, document requests, and passports are sent to:

Embassy of Canada – Visa Section
Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra 193
Col. Granada
Del. Miguel Hidalgo
11520 Mexico City, D.F.
Mexico

Okay. But, if you refer to this link, it says another address:

Why the two addresses?

One address is the Visa section.
The other address is the Consular section.

Why would the lawyer tell me this?

The Visa Office’s mailing address is as follows:



Embassy of Canada

Immigration Section
Schiller 529, Col. Bosque de Chapultepec (Polanco)
Del. Miguel Hidalgo
11580 Mexico City, D.F.
Mexico
Should I send it to Schiller, or to Cervantes? I only have one chance to make this right, and I don't want to screw it up.

I sent everything to Miguel de Cervantes and I went there to get the visa cause thats the visa section.
What are you gonna send? Do the embassy requested anything?

Yes. They want my wife and stepson's passports. We got the passport request letter on January 22. Here's a portion of the email from the lawyer:

As you are aware, we received communication from the Canadian Consulate General in Mexico regarding your application for Canadian Permanent Residence. I am very pleased to inform you that we have been advised that the visa office has completed the processing of your application, and **** and **** passports are now requested for submission to the Consulate for visa issuance. Congratulations!

In order to limit the exchange of hands of such important documents, we ask that you submit your passport and required documents directly to the Consulate, and your passport with visa and landing documents will be returned directly to you.
I wonder why the lawyer is making references to the consulate as opposed to the embassy.

Yea. Thats confusing. Well the document sent where they are requesting the passports should have all the instructions, including the address.
