Passport submission outside country of residence

[Leb123]

Hi guys,
Is it possible to submit my passport upon receiving PPR to any VAC? Or I should submit it to the VAC in my home country?
I am temporarily outside my home country/country of residence, and I need to know if I have to go back once PPR is recieved.
Thanks in advance!

@jigzyy I appreciate your input on this matter.
I have been closely watching this forum posts for more than 5 months, and now I decided to create an account, ask this question, and share my experience.

I think it is possible, you have to notify IRCC about your new address.

You can stamp it from any VAC. Canada does not require you to stamp it from within your home country.

So I wait until I receive the letter, and then raise a web form saying that I am temporarily outside my country of residence and ask to submit the passport in another VAC?
My leave is for a short visit, but I am expecting to receive a PPR in the first week. It is not actually a change in address because I am not changing my country of residence I am just on a business and family visit.

was it a paper application or online?

I don't think you need to do that. You can get your stamp from any VAC and travel to Canada from almost anywhere you want, as long as you have a valid TRV.

Online application

@Tete is right here. When you receive PPR, raise a Webform inquiry and request a VAC closest to you at that time. They will send further instructions.

No. Just that the file is in Ottawa now instead of Edmonton.

You called IRCC to know this ,because if i remember you shared GCMS notes that Windsor and Edmonton was handling then... i also got AIP on 3rd and error letter on 8th and my processing centre was Edmonton and Windsor with interview recommended

Yeah, called IRCC to confirm the status of the application. I asked about VO and was told that it's in Ottawa now. Ottawa generally finalizes application and/or forward to concerned VO to finalize (Abu Dhabi in this case).
