Hi everyone,

I wrote about my lost forms here:

http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/january-2013-applicants-join-here-t129889.0.html;msg2155484#msg2155484

So...! As per the officer's request, today (Friday 12th April) in the afternoon I already mailed the redone application to CPC-M.

I sent it with Xpress Post. Signature required.

On the envelope, I wrote their address as follows:

2 Robert Speck Parkway, Suite 1200
Mississauga, ON
L4Z 1H8

(I had the label typed on MS Word since I already sent them a package back in January, so today I just printed it again).

And a few minutes ago, I checked this page just for fun:

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/offices/canada/mississauga.asp

and I discovered that their address now has changed???!????!?!!?! It's now:

2 Robert Speck Parkway, Suite 300
Mississauga, ON L4Z 1H8

(So the suite number is different now). Who would've thought....!!!!!!! Apparently they updated the above URL on 25th March!

I'm literally panicking now......what should I do...?! Is it possible at all to call Canada Post and request them to change 1200 to 300??!

I was just thinking that you are most likely not alone. As long as you put "CPC-M" on the receiver address, I'm pretty sure CP (canada post) knows they need to forward it to the right suite. Just like for people moving to a new address, they report to CP and tell them that everything named after them that goes to the old address must be forward to the new one. CPC-M is one of the biggest mail receiver in Ontario, I'm posotive CP knows how to deal with packages for them.

I hope canadajeepguy can give his input about this.

Was there a specific reason that you chose to use the courier address rather than the P.O. Box address?
We sent ours to

CPC Mississauga
P.O. Box 3000, Station A
Mississauga, ON
L5A 4N6

We had a signature for it with no problems, sent from the UK using "ParcelForce - Global Priority", which then handed over to "Canada Post - International Inbound Courier" once it arrived in Canada customs.
I suspect that P.O. Box would have masked any changes in the real physical address that CPC-M is now using.
