Hello ladies/gents,

I have recently received en email stating that my CEC application is almost complete, and requested me to send my passport and other documents to the Canadian Consulate General in Detroit.

I have sent both my passport and other documents to Detroit, however, I DID NOT enclose PREPAID envelope :eek:, but a regular envelop with my address printed on (NOT paid). I called the CIC center to follow up on this, and they said I should send in another mail with PREPAID envelope in it to Detroit. So, I immediately sent another mail to Detroit.

I am just wondering if any of you have experienced the same, and if so, were there any issues/advice you would like to share with me? Much appreciated.

Thanks and best regards,
Ken

It seems you've taken steps to correct the 'error' as recommended by the call centre. So you just have to wait and hope that the visa officer uses the new envelope to return your passport.

I see... I contacted the Canadian Consulate General in Detroit (not by caling, but by using their contact form on the website) and explained my situation. Then I got one line reply "Thank for the update." So, like you mentioned, I hope the officer waits for the new envelope to return my passport. Thanks for your reply.

I believe they will use the standard return envelope without any tracking number. May be Canada Post.

I did , Im not home but if you are in Canada the return address is a PO Box number in Windsor thats the one you should put on the return envelop fold it and put it with your passport and you can track it on the post offfice site to see when it becomes active to come back to you .
