Hi all,
I need your help.
I have received email today that I need to submit passport to Visa Office within 30 days along with two photographs. Please see below wording from email.
"Your application for permanent residence in Canada has reached the final stage of processing. You must submit your passport(s) within 30 days of the date of this letter in order to finalize your application.
Please include a copy of this letter with your submission. "
However, there are few things which I am not sure about.
- We have received email but there is no message in CIC account and status has not changed yet. Background status is still IP2. Application Status is " We are processing your application. We will.....". Final Decision section: "Your application is in progress..." Is this something normal?
- We have received email but there is no letter attached in the email e.g. CoPR letter. I thought CoPR is a letter that we need to take carry with us at the time of entry? I am not sure if this email serves as CoPR or we will get a separate CoPR letter after we send passports.
- I am from Pakistan and as per my knowledge, Biometrics are required for all the Canadian Visas. I thought I would get a letter and would need to give Biometrics before getting CoPR but there is no mention of Biometrics in the email I have received. Has someone seen such scenario? Will we need to give Biometrics later or these are only required for Temporary Visa, not PR?
- I live in Caribbean and there is no Canadian Embassy or VAC in the Country I live in. I will have to send the Passports and photographs to Canada High Commission in Jamaica by Courier. Do you know if there are any additional documents that we need to send (e.g. prepaid return envelope etc) while sending passports.
I will appreciate if someone can respond to above queries.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
