Canada Post Problems

[beans 7]

I"m not even concerned that I don't have it yet...I'm concerned that they wouldn't let me put their address on.

I"m not even concerned that I don't have it yet...I'm concerned that they wouldn't let me put their address on.

I'm trying to remember back when I did my interview in Montreal, and I think I addressed the envelope with my address as the return. I'm pretty sure that's what they told me to do.

If you think about it, they aren't going through the trouble of dealing with Canada Post, by having you buy the envelope in the first place, so what happens if it gets returned to them? They probably just put everything in a pile for pick-up and have nothing to do with it once it's gone.

If it gets returned to them, just more work they have to do, and heaven forbid they have more work

By putting your address as they return address as well as the delivery address, unless it gets lost, it's going to come to you no matter what. And I'm sure that's what the Consulate wants.

Hi all,

Here an update on the Canada Post disaster...it was not Canada Post (yet!), but the Consulate's fault. They had forgotten to mail my paperwork. Two emails later, they finally checked my file...oops, forgot to send it!

Now, Canada Post better not loose it now,

Thanks for all your advice,

WKZ

Eh i been checking my tracking number for my Xpresspost and its not registering anything yet.. been 3 days so far tho. Regular mail generally takes 3days to get here from MTL. Sometimes it took 5-6 days to get something from the consulate tho!

Well, I e-mailed the Consulate after seeing what happened to wkz here lol and they were like "Oh we mailed it on the 7th" but then I get an e-mail from Canada Post (I signed up my tracking number online) that said this:

2009/08/12 11:03 VANCOUVER Item arrived at postal facility

lol The reply from the Consulate came in at 10:35 now I want to be nice and just say its a weird coincidence but really? lol Half hour after they reply to me it makes it to the post office. Strange.

my thing was accepted at the post office yesterday, and today my sisters bf opend the front door and sitting on the door step outside the house is my visa... in the xpress post envelope that is half open an laying on the ground at 12:38pm. No one knocked at the door no one called no nothing... and the packet is signature required on pick up as requested by the embassy. Talk about ###### and unsafe service.
