How do I ship Passport from USA to CA?

[rad1234]

Hi All,

I have received notification from IRCC to submit my passport for visa. I live in the US however neither UPS nor Fedex seem to be able to help with generating a prepaid return label from CA to USA as requested by IRCC.

Can one of you please advise on a step by step process to do this?

TIA

Another tip, this link sends you FEDEX ship manager lite. Over there you only get options for FEDEX Express and they range from $50 or $60+. I used FEDEX ship manager advanced instead and selected FEDEX Ground, that only cost me $20 (CAD) and it arrived in 3 weekdays. The only downside is that Fedex ground does not deliver on weekends, but I was not in a hurry. With ground shipment you need to select the shipment type or something like that and I selected 'repair and return'.

Thanks so much. It looks like I need to select a date for the shipment and it allows only 1 week from now as the latest date. is that ok or is there another option i should be looking for?
