Hello,

My passport was less than 2 months away from expiration when I submitted my application for permanent residence. After MEP and biometrics completed, I was given an ADR on September 28th to submit my new passport info with a deadline of October 28th. Luckily, I received the passport on October 1st and immediately submitted same day. Since then my status shows "uploaded". Does CIC wait till the deadline date before they review? Please help!

My experience with other ADRs is that they do not wait till the deadline to review.

They can review earlier or later based on thier own schedule.

Thanks. It's been two weeks for me!
Don't stress yourself following up this close. They can see it and approve it but not update the status on your account. Just sit back and relax.

The wording isn't unified. It can be different.

An update:
  • ADR status went from "uploaded" to "Not applicable" on October 30th (29 days after it was uploaded). I got an email about a message in my CIC account for this update. Update was accompanied by the "How to find a job..." email
  • ADR status changed from "Not applicable" to "...reviewing additional document..." on December 3rd (34 days later). No email for this update. However, the status showed Application/Profile updated twice before the change.
ADR was for new passport.

Hello there,
If they ask for renewed passport as part of ADR,does that mean all the checks are complete and they are just awaiting for PPR confirmation.Please let me know.

Also when you uploaded,did you just upload the renewed passport or was there a need for any LOE.

Other than renewed passport upload,is there anyother place we need to update the passport number.

Please advice.

Thanks!

1. I submitted my application with LOE to indicate that my passport would expire in less than 2 months from submission. They sent a request letter after MEP and BIL for me to upload the new passport in about 30 days from when the letter was sent. A new placeholder was created in the submitted document section for this. So probably the document completeness check (R10) must have been done by the time I got that letter. I know that the other checks weren't because my eligibility and security got passed about 2/3 weeks ago.

2. No need for LOE in my case. Although, after I uploaded on my CIC account, I raised a CSE with LOE and a copy of the passport, just to ensure that they got it. This step may have been unnecessary.

3. No place to update passport number. However, I included the new passport number in the LOE I typed for CSE. Again, may have been unnecessary.

Thanks Nancy!

I received an email yesterday to upload the passport,because the current passport was less than 3 months.But I dint mention this in LOE at the time of application submission.

In my case will just uploading the renewed will suffice or do I need to raise CSE,any idea.

Also at the time of your ADR ,what was your status was it in IP2 or IP1.

Please let me know.

I think uploading it will be just fine. I have always been in "IP2".

Thanks for the response!

Me too,my status changed to IP2 after MEP.

So when I got the ADR for passport,I was under the assumption that all my checks background,eligibility,security are complete and it is only PPR request.

Based on your details,looks like IP2 is not reflecting the correct status.

Looks like ADR will also delay the process.

I'm not sure about "delay". Even with ADR, criminality, eligibility and security were all passed for me by day 90. I think that's fair considering other cases.
