I am in the US and I used http://www.caipsnotes.com/ to get my GCMS. I used their service twice.
I dont think you can use CIC's online service, it is only for canadian residents

Saw this on the CIC website:
Proof that you have the right to make a request:
To be eligible, you must be a Canadian citizen, a permanent resident of Canada or an individual currently present in Canada.

Hi,

I am sending our passports to Ottawa from the US, so any suggestions?

I am using priority mail to send passports, which I will be able to track, but how will CPP ottawa send it back to us? I cannot include prepaid return envelope since I am not based in Canada. So how to track passports once CPP send them back?

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks a lot!
Biochemigal09,
First of all, congrat for getting the PR.
Please use UPS or FEDEX rather than USPS. With USPS, as you mentioned, you cannot include a prepaid returned envelop for tracking. The total for you and your husband is around $70 using UPS.
Regards,

Hi Karen,

I am in the same boat as you. I sent in our passports today, and hoping they will send it back in a month or so.

Hey Guys,

I have read in a few other forums that if you are from a visa exempt country (I'm from Australia) you do not have to send your original passport just a copy of it. Does anyone know if this is true? Or is this the new system and becasue we applied over a year ago we follow the old system?

Hey dumdumhogayamein,

I would recommend to do flagpole instead of doing inland landing, because once you call CIC call centre, your landing date would come after 2 months, if this is feasible for you then go for it, I hope this help.

I'm still waiting for my Passport back from Ottawa.
