Canada Visa - Passport sent to VAC instead of consulate

[h1bstamping_canada]

I applied for my Canada TRV. I got request for Passport. When I opened the link to sent the passport, first it says that send passport to VAC. So I sent my passport to VAC New York. I haven't heard back from them since so many days. Later I came to know that we have to send passport to Canadian Consulate. If we send our passport to VAC, we have to send $35 fees with that. I email VAC to return my passport but I haven't heard anything back. I called the number listed on the website. But it's a call center and they don't have much information. I'm not sure how to get my passport back now. Please help me if oneone know what to do.

Hi, 

the same thing just happened to me, but in my case usps made the mistake and sent everything to the lockbox in philadelphia. What happened to your passport in the end? did you ever get it back?

Hopefully you will read this message..
