I ordered notes in May and there was nothing out of the ordinary. Eligibility and Security not started, which was the same thing the call centre said to me last week.

I ordered another set of notes 2 weeks ago, there's no telling if there's going to be anything different either.

This is mentally exhausting!

Dnt worry, may be they meant its evaluated once, just needs a second check before being marked as Passed

Hi,
I have submitted the passport on July**, now they have sent an email to attend an inland interview next week and bring all original document including Passport. But I have not received my passport back and I am worried.

Did anyone run into this situation? I have sent them an email that you have sent the passport and haven't received it yet.

Regards,

Hiii

i got my PPR as well yesterday !!

I suddenly remembered your case
are u still in USA?
if you have Canadian visa already stamped on your passport i'd suggest fly to canada and get the process done as it is allowed.
-Read your email .. step 4- submitting your documents.. it is mentioned clearly over there !!

Thank uu very muchh

Oh ok ! hope you get a solution soon !!

Hi all!!

First off congratulations to those of you who've received your PPR!! and all the best for those eagerly waiting.....

Those who have received PPR email kindly help out.

I have read through my PPR email and I have 2 major queries regarding it.

General Outline:

1. Our case- Principal applicant and spouse accompanying
2. Both of us are Indian passport holders
3. Both of us have visit visa for Canada already which is valid until our passport expiry date
4. E-mail says "Ensure that your passport is valid for at least 12 months from the date of this letter."
5. My passport is valid till 2021 and my Canada visit visa expires only in 2021,whereas my spouse's passport is expiring within 12 months so its given for renewal now.


QUERY 1

This is the part where I require some clarification...Please find my queries mentioned in GREEN and related queries are GREEN and UNDERLINED against the scenarios.

PPR E-mail section STEP 2: Passport Requirements – Determine if you need to submit your passport(s) contains 2 scenarios...

Scenario 1: if you require a visa to enter Canada, then submit your passport(s):- As per point 3 above, I already have a Canadian visit visa. Do they mean this or based on point 2, does it mean that we both are Indian passport holders so therefore we require a visa to enter Canada ? since in general Indians do require a visa to enter Canada. Can someone elaborate on this?

Scenario 2: If you do not require a visa to enter Canada:
This doubt is basically aligned with scenario 1, whether we must take a visa or not is still hanging in the air. but the other part that's unclear is it says if you don't require a visa to enter Canada then "Please submit one photocopy of the photo page and any pages containing amendments of the passport for you and one for each accompanying family member"

QUERY 2

STEP 4: SUBMIT YOUR DOCUMENTS Please relate this query to scenario 2 above... Under instructions it says ....."Submit your passport(s) along with the required documents in person or by courier to a Canadian Visa Application Center (VAC) nearest you"...
please note how ambiguous the scenario 2 points and the instructions seem here? :/ :? in one place it says photocopy but in the final instruction it says submit passports?


My only niggle is that the instructions don't seem very clear and it would be good if someone could offer me some clarification on this and I apologize for the long query, I hope its comprehensible.

Thank you in advance !!

You have an Indian Passport, so you are not visa exempt by Canada and therefore are required to send your original passport for visa stamping.
