Hello,
Thank you for sharing your situation and question with us.
From some information we have received previously from a CIC representative, you must mail or fax a letter to the local office that handled your file.
You must prove your identity in your letter with your
-Full Name
-Client ID
-Date of Birth
-Address (including any previous addresses you had since making your claim in Canada)
Your letter should detail your request to have your documents returned. Very much like your question that you posted. Your status has now changed, you want to travel, you would like your documents returned and so on.
You can find the address or fax number to your local office on the CIC website.
Also, should you wish to contact CIC in the future you can get through to an operator by:
- calling 1-888-242-2100
You do not need to listen to each message fully before you push the options. You may have to call a few times in a row to get through to the waiting queue.
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.

Hi Anna,
Thanks for your reply, but is it ok if I request the passport? Should I have any problem in the future.
