Hi all,
I have two questions about my PR card.
We landed last year and lived in Canada for more than six and half months and than return back in emergency for settlement of some domestic issues. We received PR cards for all of my family, all PR Cards were found OK except mine with one character spelling mistake (which is a printing mistake, as don't have any mistake on landing document), I figured it out during last month of our stay and communicated with CIC office call center and they admit that mistake on PR card happens during printing and Database has correct spelling of my name, So i applied for issuance of new card. At that time CIC call center person asked me to carry my PR card with me as they don't need it.
On PR renewal/re-issuance Application, I gave them one of our relative's permanent address. Now, my relative got one letter from CIC in which CIC office is asking me to return them my old PR card so that they can issue me a new one. my questions are;
Question-1: Is it safe and possible for me to send my PR card on CIC address using Registered mail (FedEx or similar service) from outside of Canada to CIC Office in Sydney?
Question-2: Will this be possible for my relative to send me back my new PR card after issuance from CIC (As i mentioned relative's permanent address on application form) via Registered mail (FedEx or similar service) from Canada to my country? Or I need to apply for Travel document from local embassy for my return? As we will have to return back with in few months depending after finalizing my old country's domestic issues.
Thanks in advance for your precious time and consideration for answering my question.

Hello,
Thank you for sharing your situation and questions with us.
Regarding your first question,
Question-1: Is it safe and possible for me to send my PR card on CIC address using Registered mail (FedEx or similar service) from outside of Canada to CIC Office in Sydney?
According to several CIC representatives, it is possible, if the registered mail or courier service is available from the place you are sending it from.
These are the options the Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) website provides:
Mail address
P.O. Box 10020
Sydney, NS
B1P 7C1
For correspondence
P.O. Box 9000
Sydney, NS
B1P 6K7
Courier address
49 Dorchester Street
Sydney, NS
B1P 5Z2
Regarding your second question,
Question-2: Will this be possible for my relative to send me back my new PR card after issuance from CIC (As i mentioned relative's permanent address on application form) via Registered mail (FedEx or similar service) from Canada to my country? Or I need to apply for Travel document from local embassy for my return? As we will have to return back with in few months depending after finalizing my old country's domestic issues.
We have had several users report that they have been able to successfully send their relatives' or friends' PR cards via a safe and secure method. They have stated that it is best to send it through a service that provides tracking.
Therefore, it is important to note that if you are outside Canada and you would like your friend or family member to send it to you, it is important that you are aware of therisks of it being misplaced or possibly seized.
We suggest that your friends or family members in Canada may want to confirm this information by calling the CIC Call Centre.
I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions and if there is any follow up to your question/situation.
