Hi, I received a rather unexpected email from IRCC last Friday after 460 days of processing. The content read-"This refers to your Federal Skilled Worker application E00000000. Please provide your spouse’s current residential address and yours, in order to finalize your application. Please do so, by replying to this email, no later than December 11, 2020."

Now the issue is that my wife’s permanent address when we submitted our docs was in India. Later she moved to the US with me and has now been with me for over a year. We never had a chance to update the address with IRCC after she moved here. So, my questions are-
1. If I give them our US address now, could that cause any issue in processing?
2. Should my wife move back to India and then give the same address we had on file to IRCC (not ideal for us)?

Also, could someone please tag admins, since I have been asked to respond to that email in 5days.

I have seen such requests on the forum before and I think you've reached the final leg. Just update your new address as is, don't think there should be any problem.

Hmm

Just got a rather poorly formatted email. No letter heads or anything.... Reads as follows:

CIO / BRCD (IRCC) <IRCC.CIO-BRCD.IRCC@cic.gc.ca>
Tue, Dec 8, 2020 at 8:41 PM​
To: "bikr********@gmail.com" <bi*******@gmail.com>
Primary Office: Centralized Intake Office

Date: December 8, 2020

UCI: 11162******
*1116*******
Application: E001******
*E0010*****


Dear XXXXXXXXX:

This is in reference to your application for permanent residence. To finalize your application, we require:

1) Passports
  • VFS is our trusted partner for safe and secure passport transmission. Using VFS services is the only way to submit your passport. Contact VFS in India (www.vfsglobal.ca/canada/india) or in Nepal (www.vfsglobal.ca/canada/Nepal) and pay the requisite fees for the Passport Transmission Services . A separate envelope is required for each passport.

  • Please take this letter and present it to VFS for the purchase of the secure Passport Transmission Service. VFS will send your passport to the High Commission of Canada in New Delhi in a secure envelope. You will then be advised by VFS when your passport has been returned and is ready to be picked up.
  • Please note that permanent resident visas cannot be placed in Diplomatic, Official or Military passports.
  • There must be at least two blank pages in each passport.
  • We are unable to issue a visa beyond the expiry date in your passport. Your passport must be valid for at least six months.

2) Photographs
Please provide two (2) recent photographs along with your passports for yourself and each accompanying dependent. For instructions on photo requirements and specifications, see: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/pdf/5445EB-e.pdf



3) Change in Circumstances
Should any of the following circumstances apply to you (or any person included in your application), you must inform this office immediately:
· Change in marital status, for example due to marriage, divorce, annulment or death;
· Death of applicant, dependant of sponsor/assisting relative;
· Birth of a child and/or pregnancy (please provide expected date of confinement);
· Change in health;
· The laying of criminal charges or conviction for a criminal offence;
· A change in availability of funds for use in Canada;
· Change of address or phone number

4) 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.
Purchase your prepaid letter-sized (32 x 24 cm) Canada Post Xpresspost envelope (Regional if you live in Ontario or Quebec; National for other provinces and territories), at any Canada Post retail outlet.

Complete the mailing label showing your full mailing address in the “Deliver To” field.

Make a note of tracking numbers for each envelope.

Enclose this envelope along with your documents and a copy of this letter.

You can purchase a Canada Post shipping label on line at:

http://www.canadapost.ca/personal/tools/cst/intro-e.asp

Please note that the Case Processing Centre in Ottawa will not return documents to a Canadian address via any other courier than a pre-paid self-addressed Expresspost envelope.

Submit all documents in a single package and send it to the following address:
CPC – Ottawa – PR
365 Laurier Avenue West
Ottawa ON
K1A 1L1

NOTE: Your passports and photos must be received by the visa office in New Delhi within 30 days of the date of this letter. Failure to comply with this request could result in the refusal of your application. Please include a copy of this letter along with your submission.

Planning ahead

As you are now in a possession of a Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR), or have been notified to submit your travel documents in preparation for the issuance of a COPR, you are strongly encouraged to obtain free pre-arrival services funded by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). A variety of online services and in-person sessions are available to you, your spouse and your dependants. These services will help you understand life in Canada, employment and how to access other free settlement services once you arrive.

To learn more about free pre-arrival services that you can access before you leave, please visit the IRCC website. Please note that in order to access these services, you must show a copy of this letter to the service provider. In-person orientation sessions are very popular and space is limited. We encourage you to register early to secure a spot in an upcoming session.

As you may know, Canada is a bilingual country where both French and English are spoken. If you are interested in living in French, you can get information about Francophone life across Canada by visiting: Canada.ca/francoimmigration.

You are encouraged to take advantage of free IRCC resources available online. Welcome to Canada, the official handbook to help permanent residents prepare to come and settle in Canada, is available at cic.gc.ca/publications. You will also find the videos entitled “Before You Arrive in Canada” and “Your First Two Weeks in Canada” on the IRCC YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/user/CitImmCanada , which provide key information you need to consider before coming to Canada and just after you arrive. The Living in Canada tool, which provides you with a personalised settlement plan and identifies the closest Immigrant-Serving Organization offering the services you need, is available at http://www.cic.gc.ca/lctvac/English/index.
We also encourage you to visit our website Prepare for life in Canada where you can find additional helpful resources.
The following organizations offer free pre-arrival services, either online or in your geographic area.
Canadian Immigrant Integration Program (CIIP) www.newcomersuccess.ca
India2Canada www.abbotsfordcommunityservices.com/programs
PrepCan www.prepcan.ca
S.U.C.C.E.S.S. www.aeipsuccess.ca and www.successbc.ca
BuildON www.buildonbatit.com
University of Manitoba www.umanitoba.ca/faculties/coned/english/readyformb
If you have applied for immigration to Canada through Immigration-Québec your integration journey will be supported by the Government of Québec. Québec bound immigrants may also find some useful integration information in this Guide for Successful Integration.
Please be aware that being eligible for, or actually participating in an orientation session, is not a guarantee or an indicator that your immigration application will ultimately be successful or that you will receive an immigrant visa.
The purpose of pre-arrival services is to help potential immigrants take early action to prepare for their new lives in Canada. Such pre-arrival services are expected to facilitate faster and more efficient economic and social integration of newcomers to Canada by effectively addressing needs earlier in the integration continuum and improving linkages between pre-arrival and domestic (in-Canada) services.
The organizations listed above provide a range of in-person and/or online services. More information about the services available and how to register can be found on their websites.
Pre-arrival services and sessions are very popular and space may be limited. We encourage you to explore the websites and register early.


Sincerely,

Immigration Section

Assuming this email was for everyone who got the glitch mail, I wonder why I didn't receive this clarification mail. Not that it matters.
