This is my PPR email from my vo CPC-M
Dear XXX,
The processing of your application for permanent residence in Canada is almost complete. You must complete the
following steps within 30 days in order for our office to issue your Confirmation of Permanent Residence and, if
applicable, permanent residence visa. If for any reason you are not able to meet this deadline, please inform us
immediately with details concerning your situation.
STEP 1: UPDATE YOUR APPLICATION
(If none of these conditions apply to you, you may proceed to STEP 2)
Have there been any changes in your life circumstances since our last correspondence?
Change in marital status: Marriage or common-law union, divorce, annulment, legal separation;
Death of the sponsor, the principal applicant or any accompanying family member;
Birth or adoption of a child, including grandchildren born to dependent children;
You, the principal applicant, or any of your family members have been charged or convicted of a criminal offence.
If any of the conditions apply, you must inform CPC Mississauga via the Case Specific Enquiry form at the following
link:
https://secure.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/canada-case-cas-eng.aspx
STEP 2: DETERMINE IF YOU NEED TO SUBMIT YOUR PASSPORT(S)
Determine if you are holder of passport(s) from countries whose citizens need a visa or an Electronic Travel
Authorization (eTA) to travel to Canada, by checking this website:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/visas-all.asp.
If you are holder of passport(s) from countries whose citizens need a visa to travel to Canada, you will need to
submit the passport for you and for each accompanying family member. To avoid complications with international
travel, it is recommended that your passport(s) be valid for at least 6 months. Your passport must have at least two
blank pages. If a child is included on your passport, you must have one blank page per accompanying child. Please
note that you STILL need to submit the passport even if:
o You have a valid Canadian temporary residence visa.
o You are a permanent resident of the U.S.A AND holder of passport from countries whose citizens need a
visa to travel to Canada.
If you are holder of passport(s) from countries whose citizens need an eTA to travel to Canada or a holder of
passport(s) from the United States, you will need to submit one photocopy of the photo page and any pages
containing amendments of the passport for you and for each accompanying family member. Please do not send your
original passport(s). Your passport(s) should be valid for at least 6 months.
If you are currently residing in Canada and you intend to travel by air to another country prior to becoming a
permanent resident, you will be required to apply and obtain an eTA prior to boarding.
***Please note that Confirmation of Permanent Residence and permanent residence visas cannot be issued to holders of
Diplomatic, Official or Military passports. You must have an ordinary passport.***
STEP 3: PREPARE YOUR DOCUMENTS
1. Passport(s) OR photocopy(ies) of passport(s), as explained in Step 2.
2. Two (2) photos of yourself and of each accompanying family member. See our specifications at
www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/pdf/5445EB-e.pdf
3. One pre-paid return envelope so that we can return your passport(s) and Confirmation of Permanent Residence
documents. See Step 4 for instructions regarding the return envelope.
4. The completed and signed Annex A listing your current mailing address.
STEP 4: SUBMIT YOUR DOCUMENTS
If you do not have a mailing address in Canada or the U.S.A, or if you are unable to submit the required
documentation for you or your accompanying family members to the addresses below, please send an email to CPC-
CTD-Ottawa@cic.gc.ca so that we can send you instructions for submitting your documents to a visa office which is
the most convenient for you. Please note that our office will not return passports to an address outside North America.
