Application For Two Sent: May 30, 2021 from Toronto
Mode of Shipment: XPressPost to Gatineau QC, K1A 0G3
Application Delivered: June 01, 2021
Fee Payment enclosed by a Credit-Card along with the application.
CC charged: June 18, 2021
Citizenship Certs Received: June 28, 2021. Arrived in an envelope with the original cardboard sheet/separators in it. No damage.
Passports Received: June 30, 2021.

Took exactly a month. Not bad, but the inconsistencies in processing times and lack of proper tracking were frustrating.

With this, the really long journey to citizenship ends. Now, onto handling the OCI (India) nightmare process.

Wish everyone the very best with your life here in Canada. Thank you and this community for all the knowledge sharing without which it would have been much more difficult to be where I am today.

Hi. If you use Canada Post's Express Post, which address should you send the application package to? Thanks!
The previous post is proof that you can send XpressPost to the mail address, which is what I've also been doing since my PR PPR. Canada Post can technically use either address. It's just that couriers require street numbers and names.
