I just wanted to ask about the policy guiding the submission of passport during the PR approval process. At what estimated lenght of passport validity would IRCC reject one's passport based on date of expiration? Is it 'not more than x months before expiry date', where x could range from 1 to 6? Is it that it must just remailn valid at the point of submission even if it remains 4 days before the date of expiry?
That being said, what is the grace window for passport submission. I am asking because passport renewal in some countries could take up to four months. In such a situation, what does one do if passport request occured when one's passport is still with the immigration of one's country for renewal?
Well my friends my journey, which is longer than what my signature suggests, has finally come to an end. Today I can finally rest easy knowing that I have permanent status and can finally say I'm part of Team Canada, although Team Canada never made me feel like I wasn't - I needed to work hard and be patient to earn it.

Being short by 1 fucking month for CEC-only draws, when my 428 CRS would have just scraped by = August 2021
The year I failed an IELTS test (due to very poor preparation) and thus failed to make it into the EE pool (my points were too low anyway) = August 2019 (P.S. after that I prepared for my CELPIP hard and scored all 12s in March 2021)
The year I got engaged to (another) Canadian and she bailed on my spousal sponsorship application = August 2018
The year I hung up a Canadian flag on my bedroom above my bed, hoping someday I'd get to permanently live there = August 2017
The year I failed to get acceptance at a university in NS to pursue a Master's due to a technicality, which would have made me eligible for EE upon completion = September 2016
The year I got and failed to activate my first IEC visa because I got too scared of moving to Canada alone early in my career = October 2012
The year I got engaged to a Canadian and she bailed on my spousal sponsorship application = October 2011
The year I fell in love with Canada and knew I wanted to live there = February 2010 when I saw the Vancouver Winter Olympics

Congrats!!!!!! Wonderful news!!! I cannot even imagine how much weight fell off your shoulders.
I hope your PR card will arrive quickly. Make sure to take a proper vacation, travel home, and relax. It's gonna be great to use PR card and not worry about anything! Every other problem in life now seems tiny, I bet!
Next step, citizenship!
P.S. Yes, they say CELPIP is way easier than IELTS and TOEFL. Stick with CELPIP if you are gonna need to take english test for citizenship.
EDIT: Now, head to the spreadsheet, update the ECOPR date and highlight that MF in green! Congrats again! Cheers!

Hi, I applied for PNP online (non-EE) last year Feb 12.
Jan 30 received first contact when my application was linked to my cic account. It was request letter for fee payment. I paid fees immediately, but its been two weeks no more contact, no AOR nothing. Any similar situation?

I have the same Secondary VO as you... hopefully it has a normal speed in processing PR application.
Do you know when did your security start and how long did it take?
hey you finally landed. million congrats, my friend! what are you gonna do next? I and my wife has waited for PR cards to buy air tickets to stay back home in Japan for weeks to recharge the energy for next level of life.

Yes, seems like the processing time for recent applications is really smooth and consistent. According to the sheet, the applications that have the same AR as mine and yours also have almost the same AOR, PAL and MP plus/minus a few days. I have not received any ADR yet so that is what I am concerned about. But I hope portals come very soon and we can all enjoy a beautiful summer.
Called IRCC today. Surprisingly got through. I like their Call back scheduling so you don't have to remain on the line.
Anyway, they confirmed (again) that no one looked at my submitted additional documents. They also said they can't do anything right now about this as I am under average processing time.
Primary office: Centralized Intake Office Sydney, Secondary: Calgary

My security was done instantly - it started and finished on 9 November (I got PAL day after). I believe this is because it was already done when I first got my IEC visa. So I'm a little annoyed that sat on it for so long but oh well, we got there in the end.
