PPR to COPR Journey - PPR in JAN/FEB-19

[Sammy1988]

Hi guys,

I received my ready for visa email. But it says to submit documents at VfS India and should reach Delhi office in 30 days. But I am in US. The web form submitted to ircc post ita for change of address reflects this new US address.
Can I send my passport directly to CPC Ottawa? That's what the agent said but have no instructions how I do it.. anybody from US sent their passport to Canada?
Any help would be great.

Thanks in advance..

The PPR email says that if you are out of country, and if you are able to submit passport to your nearest location, it would be better. however, communicate to CPC-Ottawa through email id. Most probably you have to submit to NY vfs office, if it is nearest to you. take care. best of luck.

I'm in the same boat as @ScandicGuy and @arslan1990

London VO. Documents and photos sent on April 25, arrived April 26. Still no word. Did either of you get a confirmation that your documents arrived? I didn't. I'm just waiting.

Anyone here got a COPR through the London VO? How long did it take?

@aNewLifeFew minutes back myCIC account has been updated, my application is approved and COPR is on its's way by post.

@ScandicGuy Woo! I just checked mine and it's also approved!

However it says that please see the message below but I didn't get any message. Did you get any email or message in your cic account?

Is a COPR something that is only sent to you physically? So far everything connected with the application has been digital. I didn't send in my passport because my country is visa free.

Guys, just use this webform for anything related to extension, change of passport office and etc. they are very fast, if you want to change the visa processing office, send them an email so they can issue you with a new passport ready for submission letter, once they issue that letter, you can submit your passport to any VFS.

Dont send your passport directly, I was in the same situation, submit a webform request http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/contacts/web-form.asp. I did this and and receive a response in less than a few days, they will issue you a new passport submission letter saying you can submit it to any VFS, once you get the letter, make the appointment to the nearest VFS and submit your passport to them (Im in Vietnam and it is actually just walk-in for passport submission, not sure about your country, check with your nearest VFS to see)

I got an email just saying that myCIC account is updated, when I login, my application is approved and there is a letter (where the biometrics Information letter is) with the information that I would be getting CoPR and some other digital form, and some information about landing.

Ah okay. I didn't get that letter Maybe it'll come through today Did your letter say when you had to land by? Or is that only in the physical COPR?

It does mention "YOU MUST ARRIVE IN CANADA ON OR BEFORE: XY/XY/XYZZ" and the date is my medicals expire date.

No idea why it is taking time for the passports after the Application is approved. I had to cancel my landing interview as things got delayed

Are you based out of Canada or USA? How did you schedule your landing interview?
