Good morning, I have sponsored my husband from the US and he got a response from a Barry James at CIC.gc.ca on November 17th that his application for PR was almost complete. He was required to send two photos of himself, a photocopy of his passport photo page, and one pre-paid return envelope with his Canadian mailing address. There was an Annex A that he had to complete with his current mailing address and then include it in the mailing.
The required photos and documents were sent to CPCO-PR VISA in Ottawa. My husband sent everything away, at a cost of over $50, and we waited for word from IRCC, but have heard nothing. Then, just prior to Christmas, he got an email from IRCC indicating that he should reply and he would be sent an email with how to access the PR Portal. He replied to the email and he got a message that he is in the Virtual Landing queue.
The email then goes onto say something about an eCoPR document. We are wondering first of all, what was the notice on November 17th requesting two photos and a return envelope, and secondly, why did my husband then get the email about the PR Portal. If anyone with any expertise on this, please respond. Thank you, merci
