COPR - Do I need to submit my physical passport?

[mpitillo]

Hey all,

My partner (British) and I (Brazilian) have just received a letter, asking us to provide the final passport details in the next 30 days, before receiving our COPR.

My main question is: I am Brazilian. Do I need to submit my physical passport? I have held a Canadian Work Visa back in 2013. And I currently don't have an eTA.

And if I don't need to submit the physical copy of it, do I have to at least take a photocopy of each of my previous canadian visas, or they can find this information on their system on its own? (My old canadian visas are on my expired passport, btw. So I am unsure if I should include?)

From their letter, it says that for people who does not have to submit the physical passport, that a photocopy of the photo page and any pages containing amendments of the valid passport is necessary. What do they mean by "any pages containing amendments of the valid passport?"

The letter also asks us to send with the application an Updated Information Chart (Appendix A). Is this necessary, or is this only applicable for people who had some details changed?

Finally, the letter also asks to upload all this information in our MyCIC account. I can't find a field to upload this? Or maybe the account I have is not even a MyCIC account. How can I find out?

Sorry for so many questions! We are just really excited and want to make sure that we do everything correctly!

Thanks again!

Thanks for your time replying it, I really appreciate it.

I'm afraid I still don't have the answer for this. I know that I just need to "send" them my passport, but I can't tell if it needs to be the physical copy of it, or just a digital photocopy. I also can't find where in MyCIC profile I can upload the photocopy....

you have to send the passport to designated location mentioned in youre PPR. You're PPR would have detailed it.call them up and see if Brazil is passport exempt.rest which are not exempt should send passport i believe .

Brazil is visa exempt, as long as I have held a visa in the past. Which is my case. So I believe i only have to upload a photocopy of it. Problem is: the upload button does not exist on MyCIC profile and I am unsure if I have to get photocopies of my previous canadian visas, since those are in my old expired passport.

I will try to contact them via e-mail. Thanks!

If you could kindly give an update after you're done with the process I'd appreciate it! I'll be on the same situation somewhat soon.

Can you please tell me how you did? I am on the same situation.
Did you only send the photocopies?
How long did they give to enter canada?

Anyone? Pretty please?

i am on the same situation, Brazilian, with ETA, did you submit your passport? I need to travel and I cant send them the passport... I already asked for extension with no reply yet, so I am really thinking on sending the photocopy just to comply with the deadline... and attach work permits, ETA, and a letter of explanation...
