There is some thing called "passport request letter". That letter says (in summary) " A decission on your application has been made, we require your passport to finalize processing of your application, please provide your passport with a copy of this letter". If the information letter you received also has similar language, you are all set. As your application was filed from India , Delhi VAC will reach out to you soon with courier instruction letter.

Yep, they will understand that due to the travel restrictions one might have stayed beyond the visa expiry but as long as you have all the details it is still fine. you don't have to resubmit anything.
Hi all, I just got an approval letter from IRCC stating that work permit will be issued upon arrival in Canada. From the letter it looks like I won't get a PPR and that I am all set to travel. Has anyone got such a letter recently? I'd applied for ICT WP from US on June 10th
It says, "Your enquiry has been received. Applications for yourself and family members have been approved. Please be advised that we are not sending original passport request letters at this time. The responsible visa office may contact you with special instructions to submit your passport during the COVID-19 pandemic. Please continue to monitor your account for correspondence from our office. You are reminded that operations at the visa offices may be limited due to the ongoing concerns related to COVID-19. Once passport request letters or instructions are issued, the passport that will be used for travel to Canada should be submitted for visa issuance"
It is advisable to submit a webfrom request at this point to expedite PPR from Delhi VAC with some justification? Given the situation im unsure if they may take a longer time to send PPR/2-way courier instruction letter...
A webform wont help in this case is my feel, as they have already mentioned in this reply that responsible visa office will contact you. At this point all I can say is please be patient for a few more days and see if something comes your way. This whole situation is new to all and everyone is trying to work around it. All the best
Hey I am in the same situation. Applied on June 12th. Got my approval, 15 days ago without PPR. Was asked to go to the customs with my passport and the approval notice to get my work permit. My lawyer stated that it is because I have a valid visitor visa to Canada and that is enough to enter the country. Do you have a visitor visa too?
Hey @manjunathsr14 quick question: I raised the webform today and updated the webform with new address. I hope thats what's required to be done?
however i didnt understand when you said to update the case with new address, did you mean webform only right? because i dont see any other option by which we can updated new address. Thanks for your advise.
There is an option called "change of contact information" in webform>Type of application/inquiry field, hope you went via that route..They also take care of your request , even if it is a general webform (Temporary application (applied online)> Temporary application (applied online)- work permit etc.).

I have a qs for my friend, he has valid canada visa , he is in India, but his indian passport expires in next August. He will go for reissue of new passport, will passport seva kendra send the new passport for stamping the canada visa again or, friend has to go with both old and new passport when he travels to canada?
I agree with Manjunathsr14, Webform may not help, as IRCC has already assured that your reginal VAC will reach out to you. Delhi VAC is trying to reach out to people who are waiting for their passport to be stamped/approval next steps. I heard from some sources (not verified), more and more people will receieve passport submission request/courier instruction letter in coming weeks, I am patiently waiting for that too
When we waited this long, it is s'more! cheers!!Yeah, your lawyer is correct, as long as you have a valid visa (on your active passport) to enter, you are good to go.
Yes, I meant the webform only. Any changes to your application after it has been filed is always done via a webform.
Cheers!!! this is a first step from VAC to restart operations. It will still take some time for a process to be set definite timelines to kick in but until then we just have to go along the flowI agree with Manjunathsr14, Webform may not help, as IRCC has already assured that your reginal VAC will reach out to you.
