Friends, I received PPR and now have to send my Passport. Can someone please provide the steps? I am little confused on the whole process. Please note I applied for WP ICT in May and gave Biometric in Jul. I have few questions

1. I see I have to select VAC, I see two option NY and LA. Not sure which one to select?
2. Do i have to send email to them to star the process?
3. I have to get pre-paid shipping envelop from them. How to get? Can I send my passport through my own courier?

I will go through instructions again but if anyone of you have quick summary of steps...please let me know.

1. Select NY
2. send email with excel sheet attached. requesting 2-way shipping label and online payment of all fee
3. yes prepaid shipping label is ideal to avoid confusion and delay in return of passport.

they will give shipping label only in email as pdf, you need to print hat and take it to FedEx office to ship it.
Make sure include following in envelope:
  1. original passport
  2. contact info sheet
  3. two set of concent form
  4. printout of return shipping label
  5. Invoice print out
  6. Invoice payment confirmation page print out
Can you please let me know following?
1. What is contact info sheet? I am not able to find anything with this name.
2. Consent form is 4 page document and I am confused on last page i.e. Applicants wishing to provide biometrics Or Applicants NOT wishing to provide biometrics? My Biometric was already done...should I select "wishing" or "NOT wishing"? I am dropping of 3rd page which I think is applicable only when travel agent or person other than applicant is submitting.

Appreciate your help.

Hi Sachin, did you receive PPR along with approval or was it a separate correspondence. How long did it take for you to get PPR after approval.

My application was pending since July as well. Today I got two correspondence letters, one for biometrics and second one "Your application to work in Canada is approved". Now is original passport request letter different than this approval correspondence letter.

Seems like you and me have different set of letters. Since I don't know the content of your approval letter, here is content of my passport request letter
This is in reference to your application for temporary residence. A decision has been made on your application. We require your passport to finalize processing your application. Passport requirements • Please provide your passport or travel document, with a copy of this letter. • There must be at least one blank page in your passport. • Your passport must be valid for the duration of your expected length of stay in Canada. • Please note that we cannot issue a visa beyond the expiry date on the passport. Your passport must be received by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada within 30 days from the date of this letter. Failure to do so could result in the refusal of your application. Please ensure that a copy of this letter is included with your passport. To find out where to send your passport, visit our website: Thank you for the interest you have shown in Canada. Attention: The unique client identification (UCI) number in the upper left corner of this letter is your personal identification number.

We definitely have different letters. My letter says nothing about passport. Mine is as below:
Your application to work in Canada has been approved. A permit authorizing you to work will be
issued to you on your arrival to Canada following an examination by an officer of the Canada
Border Services Agency, subject to your compliance with the requirements of the Immigration
and Refugee Protection Act and its Regulations. The officer will ask to see this letter, your

passport and may request to see your supporting documents.
