Hello,
I just received an email from the Visa office in Buffalo and it included links regarding passport submission. I submitted my PR application in Buffalo even if my address is in Canada. Now that they're asking for my passport, I don't know whether if I should keep the consistency by sending my passport to Buffalo OR send it to Fort Erie because that was the instruction in the link that was provided in the email. I copied and pasted a portion of the instructions below. I am also wondering that if I did follow the link and sent it to Fort Erie, would they forward it to Buffalo since my application is being processed there?
I have sent the Buffalo Visa office an email and I'm kind of disappointed that they don't have a Toll free number.
Thank you!
