Canada post is unreliable service. I watsed money for this before.

Use Fedex is better because you know exactly when your document will arrive.

Not necessarily, The advantage of sending to the Courier address is that someone signs for it and so there is a record that it has been received by CIC. When its sent to a Post box there is no proof of that. Most courier companies do not deliver to a Post Box but since its Canada Post they probably do.
You would have the tracking number, so track it and do an update here as to what actually happened in your case. Would be good reference info for future applicants

Don't worry. It will reach CIC. You will just have to wait longer for the conformation of delivery, I guess. No one can sign on your package in the PO Box location.

From what I understand, "courier" means an actual courier service. Canada Post is not a courier service. I sent via xpresspost to the P.O. Box and it was delivered successfully and I got a signature too.

I used Xpresspost and the courier address. My package was delivered without problems. The courier address is for any deliveries with signatures. If you mail it to PO BOX, the mailman has to find somebody to sign on it.
