I need to send my citizenship application but not sure which address I should use. There is one for regular mail and another for courier. If I want to send it using Canada post express and signature required, would this be considered courier or regular mail ?
From your experience, is Canada post is good for such thing or probably there is better post company?

That would be a courier. Yes, I assume that's what a majority of applicants use.

Are you sure Canada post express is considered as Courier?
I reckon UPS/FedEx/Puralotor/DHL would be couriers. Canada Express Post would still classify as regular mail

Canada Express post is considered courier , and courier address should be used while mailing the application.
Express post has tracking and signature and used by many on the forum including me with no issues.

I always thought Canadapost is considered as regular mail and others such as USP/Fedex ect. are considered as couriers.
But then other members who had no issues using Canadapost Express service with the courier address so I guess Canadapost can be either regular mail or courier. Good to know!
I sent mine through registered mail with tracking and used the regular mail address.

Same with me. Back in 2013 when I applied for the PR I thought that Canada post Expresspost must be a regular post service - so many references to the post in the name. I used the regular post address and parcel was delivered without any problem. It was also signed on reception.
