Hey folks!
I'm about to get my PPR in the next few days. I live in Brazil, a country that has recently been categorized as visa-exempt for tourism (as long as the person traveling has a US visa or already held a Canadian one).
I've seen people from visa-exempt countries getting PPR and, on the request email they received, it is asked a passport or a copy (the latter possibly due to the country being visa-exempt). Since Brazil now falls into this case, I wonder:
How is the post-PPR phase if I provide a copy of my passport, and not the passport itself?
1) Is it faster?
2) Should I wait some document back from the Visa Office (as it used to work with the passport, that came with the stamp), or they provide the COPR as an eletronic document?
I ask that because I have a tourism trip to US early June and I wanted to go directly from there to Canada, but the timing of the process to get the COPR concerns me.
Thanks!
It's not necessarily faster. You will send them a copy of the Biometrics page of your passport rather than the hard copy. In return they send you a hard copy of the CoPR paperwork.

One more question: if the COPR (hard copy) arrives at my Brazilian address and I am in the US... do you know if I can use a scanned version of it to do the landing in Canada? This way, I wouldn't need a flight back to Brazil to get the paper.

I'm pretty sure you need the hard copy. But you should send a self-addressed return envelope when you send your passport info. They will return the CoPR documents to you in them-- to the address you provide.
Hi all, I am from a visa exempt country Ireland. Received my PPR last Friday. Per instructions, I just have to submit a copy of my passport photo page. Not the passport itself. I can send this by mail (along with my two requested photos) or I can submit via the web portal (MyCIC). It does not, however, provide a link to how to upload on the website. Opinions welcome but if anyone has gone through this experience I'd definitely like to hear what you did.
Thanks.
