Hi guys,

I received my passport request today. Living in US with an Indian passport. I am asked to send both my wife's and my passports to Ottawa. After reading the discussion here, I am convinced to send the Indian passport to Canada from US. My questions is, do I need to put both mine and my spouse's passports together as one package?

Passport recieved by Ottawa CPC on 29th Sep 2022
No updates untill October 13,2022
PR approved on Oct 13,2022 on the account
Email confirmation today Oct 14,2022

Passport on the way and should reach by Monday 17th Oct!

Good luck everyone!

Lessons.
1. Follow this thread diligently. Read through all posts. There are couple of posts detailing step by step procedure to follow while sending the passport, photos, annex A and return envelope to Ottawa CPC from USA.
2. Use fedex and it is seamless.
3. Sign on the commercial invoice (both onward and return) to be safe.

Please reach out if i can help or anyone on this forum !

Thank you to everyone who posted queries and the 2 success stories i used as a step by step method to ship the passport!

Thank you so much!!

good luck!

Anybody have any questions on sending passports or on photos or forms, DM or ask me here. Happy to share my experience.
Thanks for this post. My passport was delivered on Oct 17, a few days after yours.

When did your CIC status change to "Your application was approved"?

From some posts here, it may take like a week for it to get activated. I think sometime this week it should happen.
