RESIDENTS OUTSIDE ONTARIO

  1. You can send via mail your passport and required documents in order to get the stamped visa
  2. Since the passport is a very sensitive document of personal identification, we strongly recommend the use of a "courier service" when mailing it.
  3. Also a prepaid envelope or courier is advised in order to return the passport to the correct mailing address requested by the client. Please note, we will not send the passport by regular mail.
