Hey members, Need quick help here. Received PPR on email (not MyCIC) on 25th Aug. I understand that I am to send the passport and photos for the missus as well. Now my daughter is US born citizen. She is included on my Canadian PR application. Do I need to send her photos/ Passport ?
Any help is appreciated !

Hi!

we were in the same boat! need to send passports for you and your spouse. for your daughter, just send a photocopy of the photo page of her passport.

photos have to be sent for all three of you!

hope it helps!

Oooh really ? I was gonna head to a professional photographer, who, as you can guess, is super-expensive. Let me check with our neighborhood Walgreens, thanks for the tip !

Some of the Walgreens and CVS I approached in Chicago clearly said they do not do Canadian size photos!?! I used a business run by some indians in downtown chicago where they also do FBI fingerprints etc. for the Canadian size photos.

Has any one who submitted the passport to CPC Ottawa in August received the passport back?

(I ordered GCMS Notes, notes show COPR counterfoil printed and visa validity dates are in the notes)

I don't understand why several people are complaining about the number of days it takes, try US greencard process, the days will turn to years.

We should appreciate the fact that Canada is promising a 6month process for majority of people and many of us are getting from ITA to COPR in 3-4 months. I think we should relax and appreciate that CIC is trying to keep their timeline promise, they cannot promise a timeline for every step!

CIC could however improve their notification system and online status updates to avoid keeping us in the dark (some folk will still complain and call CIC everyday I guess). Millennials want instant gratification lol

How do I send a GCMS Notes? please
