- Upload all docs and pay $100. within 2 days you will get message from CIC with instructions to send your passport to Ottawa office for stamping.
- Buy 2 express post envelopes from near Canada post office.
- Envelope 1 : put your passport all requested docs and Envelope 2 as well.
Once your passport get stamped CIC will use this Envelope 2 and put your passport and docs in it and post to your address.
- Why 2 envelopes because CIC will not cover postal charges so you should buy 2. 1 for to send and 1 for to return.
Hope this help.....Thanks
