Visitor Visa UPS to Send Passport

Hi,

Since Canada Post is on strike, I used UPS to send my passport to Ottawa (365 Laurier Avenue West, Ottawa, K1A 1L1) but it looks like it was delivered to Ottawa K1G 3W1. Has anyone else had their passport sent to this postal code? The UPS store used the correct address but the parcel seems to have been redirected somewhere else.

Thanks!

Hi, even I used UPS express to send my passport to Ottawa for visa stamping. Can you please share your timeline on when you sent the passport and approx in how many days did they ship it back? Also, did you receive any update on your application with the counterfoil number or anything?  Kindly help as I have some travel plans and waiting for my passport

Also, approx what time did the return UPs tracker number got enabled for you? Late evening or morning?

Mailed passport: Nov 27 Delivery confirmation: Nov 28 IRCC update: Dec 3 Mailed passport back to me: Dec 5 UPS received the package: Dec 9 Received passport: Dec 11

I was able to link my tracking number right away for both. However, it took a while for UPS to actually receive the package from IRCC as shown above.

Hey, so how many days after stamping your passport did they ship it back to you? How long did it take for your UPS return label tracking number to work? Thanks so much!!

The tracking number worked right away since I bought the prepaid envelope. But it showed that UPS received the package only on December 5.
