Passport Submission CPC ottawa (NDVO Outland)

[gopr]

We applied for my spouse's PR (outland application) last august and got DM, now waiting for PPR.

It looks like the NDVO PPR letter (or could be others too) says that if you are in Canada and intend to stay there for atleast 3 months, then you may send your passport to CPC Ottawa.

Exact wording - Submitting your passport(s) in Canada (CPC-O)

If you have a mailing address in Canada and if you and all the accompanying dependents on your application are currently in Canada and plan to be in Canada for at least three months, you may submit your passport(s) to the Case Processing Centre – Ottawa.
You are required to send your document(s) together along with a copy of this letter by mail or courier to the following address with the additional following document:
· A self-addressed, pre-paid Xpresspost envelope from Canada Post.

In our case, my spouse is currently in Canada on visitor visa, joined me on 30th May. He can stay utpo 6 months but we have return booked for July 28th. We have informed NDVO about visit to canada(forgot to add return date though), phone numbers and contact address when he arrived.

The request for passport will probably be coming tomorow or next week.

My question is that since my spouse is not staying in canada for atleast 3 months since 30th May, can we send the passport to ottawa instead of going to India to submit passport. Please advise.

Our main concern is that if CPC Ottawa does not stamp here then we will probably be refused for not submitting passport in time? Don't want to mess up atlast step.

Thanks!

You can submit it to Ottawa. They have no way of knowing about your travel plans. They say 3 months basically just because they want to cover their butt and make sure people don't send in their passport when they are planning a trip very soon afterward. You should entertain the possibility something could go wrong with the PPR in the sense that if they took a really long time, he may not have his passport in time for the trip. Besides that, you are fine to send it there.

Thank you @KBH - This makes sense. I was wondering if we have to inform NDVO once we get the passport request that we are submitting it to CPC - Ottawa?

If your letter did not contain instructions about submitting to Ottawa then yes you would need to notify them. But if your letter contains the instructions, it will indicate whether you need to notify NDVO or not.

Just saw your post. Yes we did and emailed NDVO and CPC-Ottawa to inform about it along with Tracking #. Our app status in gckey is updated as Approved and I see the Visa num when I click status to view.

Also CPC-Ottawa replied to us today that our app is approved and they have sent back the passport.

Waiting for CP Tracking to update, which might take a day or 2.

Thanks for the reply.
I submitted to CPC Ottawa (I didn't inform Ndvo as the passport request did not contain any specific instruction) as well and my wife landed as PR last week.

We notified our visa office regarding the change in address, they emailed back saying it was done and instructed us to submit to cpc ottowa.

Thanks for the reply.
I submitted to CPC Ottawa (I didn't inform Ndvo as the passport request did not contain any specific instruction) as well and my wife landed as PR last week.

Hello,
Please let me know whether we have to use separate envelope for each person?
We have to send 4 passports (for my wife and daughters). In this case, should we use 4 envelopes - each having its own pre-paid return envelope?

Thank you very much in advance.
