Urgent...Please help... new rules to submit passport to Buffalo

[mari1981]

Hi,

I live in Toronto and I have applied for CEC. I have received pass port request from Buffalo and I was going to authorize a friend to submit my passport to Buffalo office tomorrow.
But today I noticed that they have changed the rules according to following notice. I am not sure does this change include my case or it is only for TRV or work permit or ...
Please help me what should I do?

Hi Mari,

I believe that's for non-immigration cases only, and your case is an 'immigration' case, so u can do in-person request (my understanding).
Good luck and congratulations on getting PPR.
