Hi,
I'm a bit confused as to where to send my PR Travel Document application.

Based on information on CIC website : http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/travel-document/index.asp under "3. Submit your application and supporting documents", there is an option for "General Public" to use the visa application center (VAC). Closest one for me is the one in Los Angeles:

Visa Application Centre – Los Angeles

2120 E Grand Avenue Suite 108A
El Segundo
CA, 90245
U.S.A.

However, immediately under "General Public" there is information for diplomatic passport holders, with three address (D.C., NYC, and LA) and one of the address given there is:

Immigration Section
Consulate General of Canada in Los Angeles
550 South Hope Street, 9th Floor
Los Angeles, CA 90071

However I'm not sure if this second address (or set of 3 addresses) is ONLY for diplomatic passport holders, or whether the general public can send their applications here. Or am I supposed to send mine only to the two given under VAC (Link: http://www.csc-cvac.com/en-US/selfservice/cvac_application_centres)? Is the VAC something administered by US or Canada?

If anyone knows about this or has done this before please let me know. I don't want to send my passport to the wrong place :eek:.

Thanks in advance :)
