Guide: Submit Your Passport From Inside Canada After Your TRV Is Approved

• Send us your passport by mail (Canada Post) or courier. Choose and pay for a mailing service:
  • If you’re not using a courier service, we recommend you use Canada Post’s Xpresspost or Priority Post services so you can track your envelopes.
  • The mailing service you choose will determine how fast it will take for your passport to be returned to you.
• Purchase 2 prepaid envelopes:
  • If you live in Ontario or Quebec, purchase regional envelopes.
  • If you live in another province or territory, purchase national envelopes.
• Envelope sizes:
  • To send us your passport:
    • 1 letter-size envelope (318 x 241 mm)
  • For us to mail you back your passport:
    • 1 standard-size envelope (260 x 159 mm)
• Write down the tracking numbers for both envelopes. To track your envelopes with Canada Post or with your courier service:
  • Use the tracking number for the letter-size envelope to find out when we receive your passport at our office.
  • Use the tracking number for the return envelope (standard-size), to find out when we mail it back to you.
• Prepare your package:
  • Write your full mailing address on the return envelope (standard-size) in the “Deliver to” field.
  • In the letter-size envelope, put:
    • your passport
    • a copy of your passport request letter showing your unique client identifier (UCI) and application numbers
    • the return envelope with your address on it
