I received an email from the canadian consulate in seattle requesting my passport. Does that mean I was approved the residency? Also, in the email, they gave instructions on how to send the passport. I prefer to travel and present the passport myself. Is that possible? IF yes, do I have to do it in seattle or any other consulate in the US? I feel worried to send my passport by mail and I am sure mailing it is much slower.

Thanks very much,

Whoo hoo you're in the last stage!! You have to mail it sadly, they will not entertain anyone showing up there. Hubby just sent his to LA, with tracking. If you add tracking, you'll give yourself a peace of mind. Good luck and congrats!

congrats on your passport request.........you are at the last stage gor sure.....you have to send your passport by mail just like the requested it......but if i was you i would send it by a courier service......because you can always track down your package to make sure it get to where it have to go........or if you send it buy the regular post.......send it overnight delivery that to make sure that your package is register

Your PR card isn't issued until a number of weeks after you land in Canada and become a PR. So no - you won't receive your PR card along with your passport.

Thanks .They received my passport on June 18/2015 according to my tracking number. And i got it back on June 24/2015 with one entry Visa and Confirmation of Permanent Residence ( CoPR) . I drove next day to Carway Alberta/USA border ,and all process took me 45 min. P.S. They asked me for my old work permit. Good luck to all in this process
