Thats why I was asking. Because Kingston told me the immigrant visa will be issued once Vegreville makes a FINAL DECISION they will issue immigrant visa. We all know that the appointment for PR is just formalities
Immigrant visa will not be given automatically once you are informed by mail that your PR applicaton is completed/ has final decision and approved.
You have to wait for the landing interview appointment. Yes, it is for formalities, but this is also the day youll receive your COPR.
The effectivity date of your PR is the day when you have the Landing Interview.
And once you receive your COPR, then you can ask your dependendent to send their passport.
Its in the letter that they mailed to you, It says, Do not submit passport until principal applicant has done their interview ( not the exact words by the way ).
