Hello folks,
I need help from you all. I sent my passport to CPC - Ottawa on September 13th for COPR and visa stamping. After delivery I received photo re-submission request twice, on 19th September and then again on 24th September. I sent photos on 25th for the second time, which were delivered to CPC on 26th September. I haven’t heard from them ever since and I am getting a little anxious because I have a travel plan out of US on 22nd October. I tried calling *67 613 944 4000 but it took me to global affairs instead of IRCC, and the IVR explicitly said that they won’t answer any questions related to IRCC application. Can you please advise what I can do to request them to expedite? I am really worried that I may not get my passport back in time, any help is appreciated.
Best,
Jeetu
Hi Nik, can you please share the number you called to connect with IRCC agent?
I finally chose to install an app (TextNow) which gave me a virtual Canadian phone number. I used that app to call the Canadian customer care number of CIC (+1 888 242 2100). The agent told me that the COPR was printed on 8th October, and only step after that is to mail the passports and COPR back. Hope they mail those soon.

Thanks for the info …
Can you please give some idea about when did you reach Canada and if you moved from US, what was the best method of transportation/airlines as per your findings? Thank you
Hello,
I recently got PPR after long time. I am searching for good instruction on how to create the return shipment envelop either using FedEx or UPS and cannot find anything.
Can someone point to how to do this please? I already have FedEx and UPS accounts. I want to know what to do so I don’t lose my passport.
Also, do I have an option to submit the passport at the Canadian consulate or visa application center in New York? There is no mention of this in the email, but I am seeing people talking about it on the forums.
Thank you!
The return label can be created using this right? I was able to create one with this. Following this link

The question country of manufacturing I gave it as US is that okay since this is the return label? Someone please help with this. Thanks!
Someone shared this info in the group.
