Canadian Transit Visa - Passport Delivery Fee
I applied for a Canadian transit visa, and I received a message from them requesting me to send them my passport within the next 30 days. I am an Indian citizen, and I live in America. The documents that I am required to send are: passport, VAC consent form, contact information, prepaid courier envelope, and the VAC fees.
On the NYC VAC webpage, they mention in Step 2 that the VAC fees (passport delivery/e-Application fees) is $31.99. I am a little confused here because I thought the transit visa application was free?
If the passport delivery fee is the only fee I need to pay, I wanted to know if the following is the procedure for the VAC fee payment and passport return service?
Obtain a money order for $31.99, send it to the CSC Consular Services lockbox in Philadelphia, and send a photocopy of the money order with the envelope containing my passport, other documents, and a prepaid airway bill for passport return. The NYC VAC webpage is a jumbled mess of words, so can somebody please confirm?
Thanks!

Looks like you will need to send only 19.90$ for package transmission fee.
This is from the chat with the VAC person:
Representative: Package transmission $19.90. Can deposit Cashier/Banker check or Money order. Payment instruments should be made in favor of “TT Visa Services Inc.”
