friends, I received passport request today and am a little confused in which envelope to use to send the passport. The email from CIC tells me to use a National Canada post envelope but I just bought a Regional Priority post envelope to send the passports. Is this fine?

please help me ..please...canada post is not ready to take back the regional priority post and give me a national one.

If you're in Ontario, regional is fine as CIC is going to ship the passports from Ottawa. If I were you I'll still use national one.

Please no double posts. Already answered your question.

When to use Regional vs. National envelopes within Canada

All of our prepaid envelopes for use within Canada come in Regional or National formats:

Regional – Choose this format if you are mailing your envelope within one region.
Example: Vancouver to Winnipeg (Western region)

National – Choose this format if you are mailing your envelope from one region to another region.
Example: Vancouver to Charlottetown (Western region to Atlantic region)



CIC will mail from Ontario. If your in the atlantic region, you should be fine.
However, I would get a national one, as CIC asks for it.

I am changing the return envelope to national, just wanted to check if I can still use the priorty regional to send the passports..
 
From what I understand. It depends which province you are in and where the passports are coming back from.

Regional envelopes are just for mailing stuff from within the same province.

So CIC asks for national envelopes so that they don't have to worry about that and can send it anywhere in the country without a problem.

So if the passport is coming from for example Nova Scotia and your not from that province you need a different (national) envelope. Otherwise there is not enough "postage" to deliver it to where you are.

If it is returning from Vegreville and you are from Alberta there should be no problem getting to you.

If I were you I would not hesitate at all to buy another correct envelope and not risk it. After all the waiting and the money spent what is anothe4 15-20 bucks or so.

And just use the regional envelope another time in the future if you can't return it. It doesn't expire after all and You can have peace of mind that you sent the right envelope.

Goodluck!

You sure can. If you are going to send within one region.
If Canadapost said it's OK, you should be fine. Just make sure the return envelope is national.
