Waiting for PPR.....
BTW, no new message when background check changed from IP1 - NA, neither NA - IP2
Is there a system error or I actually go from NA - IP2 at the same day?

I choose the believe the latter one lol.

Good luck to everyone in this forum, I guess my PPR is on its way!

NA change to IP2 in the same day is totally normal. You can check shekers case in the forum

visa stamping is another waiting period
making me sad again

Yeah i got CoPR today...14 days after they received package (17 days from when i first sent it). But i'm from a visa-exempt countries. Sounds like it takes 21 days or longer for people who need a visa...
(This is exclusive to CPC-Ottawa, seems like other VOs around the world are much quicker)

hi breecheung, do you know how many hours you got ppr after ip2. pls reply me thanks, i just got ip2 too

I found IP2 in the morning. PPR is about 7pm

So happy for you you guys!!! Finally! You're going to get your PPR and CoPR in no time! The hardest part is over!!!

Is the Annex A form not a separate pdf doc? After I open the email, the form are on 2 pages. Is it ok if I print out all but only mail the two pages?

Yeah it's not a PDF...I copied it into Word and did some formatting to shrink it into one page. It's not a big deal the Annex A. They just need to know your current address to return the CoPR

One more question

The photo for PR, are they the same as the one we upload for our online application? Could we go take new ones just because the one for e-application does not look nice. Or we must mail the exact same photo as the one in e-application? Thank you

You can take another photo, dimensions must be 50x70mm.

according to the track record, the letter was delivered to VO on 26th July at 10:01 am
I didn't expect that stamping would take centuries like this

Then it's been only a week. It used to take 10-14 days a few weeks ago.

do you mean business day or weekdays?
I suppose stamping could be finished quicker ...

thanks for sharing your experience
I sent my passport to the VO in Sydney, Australia.
I think people here mostly apply for Australian PR, so that the consulate should have a higher efficiency

is it really so strict about the size of photo?

I can say it's stricter than the one you uploaded online. Some cases got request to retake the photo Anyways, good luck

 

[breecheung]

Does anyone use friend's address to receive passport and COPR? If so, do the canada post people ask for signiture or they just put the big package envelope in your mailbox?

Also, if it is apartment, does the Xpress envelope fit in regular apartment mailbox or not? Or do we need to go the the nearest canada post office to pick it up? What is needed when go pick it up?

I may use my friend's address to receive them back. One lives in house the other is apartment. But I do not know if there will be problem using their address.

Any advice will be highly appreciated
