Moreover, now the most important update - Applicants who sent out an email and raised webform query to NDVO, they have got very specific reply from Migration Unit, NDVO as below:

Dear Sir/Madam,

This refers to your recent email inquiry received at the Immigration section of the Canadian High Commission in New Delhi.

Our office will contact your shortly with passport request letter.

We trust that this information will be of assistance.

Migration Section

As per the PPR email trend, next batch of PPR email will be triggered tomorrow (Saturday). This is highly tentative. Good luck everyone! Things are sorted now!

Yes I too received an email from NDVO mentioning that they will open a document request on my application so that I can upload additional documents to my GC key. In that case my application will automatically goes to Submitted state after I upload the remeds.

Seems like they are working on something now!

Logically yeah make sense of it. Also read about copr/prv PNP applications making landing using exemptions. Wonder if they opted for visitor visa.

If one has COPR and PRV that was issued after 18th March, I'd advise to travel to USA and then cross the border or take another flight to Canada.

 

[WantToImmigrate]

What we understood talking to various lawyers is that if you have COPR/PRV post 18th march and job offer for which you were nominated by province and it comes under the essential skills you are exempted.

Another way could be for people who have valid COPR and PRV that was issued after 18th March, I'd advise to travel to USA and then cross the border or take another flight to Canada.

Love the line - "Do not send further emails regarding the same."

A person should be living in USA and not transiting from there.

Would you by any chance have any updates from VO- CPC Ottawa?
Any idea when will they start issuing PPRs?

When did you submit your re-meds? Sorry I know this is a repetitive question..
I completed my remeds on Nov 12th

I direct your attention towards - "Applicants with expired COPRs can travel to Canada from the US for non-discretionary reasons to settle and live in Canada as a permanent resident"

Other foreign nationals are also exempted based on our discussion with lawyers if you have COPR/PRV post 18th march and job offer for which you were nominated by province and it comes under the essential skills. In this case, you don't need a separate work permit/ETA as you already have COPR.

No other applicant received respons to open document request in portal. Just wondering why would they mention it. Does that mean all of us would have to submit remeds in portal now?

Will that apply to EE FSW with copr/prv? For those who gets job offer could apply or are they exempted?

They have divided people into groups. There is a difference b/w travelling from US and transiting from US.

There is a person in this thread who planned to travel to US, live there for a month and then make a move to Canada. He can argue with officials that he was living in USA but what reason would a person transiting from US give if asked by officials?

Not sure. If you have provided the remeds to the link in regret email then they will upload the remeds on your behalf. So no worries as your application is already in Submitted state.

Whereas on contacting NDVO, they have mentioned in email that they do not upload documents for online applications and it needs to be done by the applicant using GC key. On GCkey while uploading the document you have to opt in that the information you are uploading is legit. Maybe this is reason. Who knows!
