so you originally applied from outland right since you're from the UK? I'm in the same situation (originally applied FSW-O but now in Canada with my Canadian counterpart), so that gives me hope
Correct. Send them a webform and tell them that you are in Canada and do not pose a COVID risk...that's what I did, no idea if it helped or not but worth a try!
 
@legalfalcon I am USA and received approval and request to sebd passport 3 weeks back. We created fedex return shipping label scheduled for pickup on 11 th May but Fedex has not received the package yet. Can you please help understand what is the process of returning the passport and if we need to do anything other than creating return shipment label with fedex


Did you send the return shipping label with your passport. If you did, you have to do nothing. After the processing is done, IRCC will ship the package and once it is shipped, you will see the tracker activated.
 
I just got my CoPR, keep the faith!

Although I applied from the UK, I am now in Canada because I could enter with my Canadian family given the COVID situation. I believe being in Canada was key to my application being processed. I got a phone call Friday asking to confirm that I was in fact in Canada and CoPR came on Sunday morning.
may i know how long did it take from the time you notified IRCC about changing address to inland to copr issuance?

I did that back when I arrived in July. I can see that my address on file is my Canadian address according to my GCMS notes, so I am hoping that they do indeed finalize my application since I don't have to travel.

We sent the return shippibg label along with the passports. But got an email from ircc statis there is error in shipping label and asked us to create again, which also we did. There is still no updates to the return shipment in fedex yet. Is there a way to contact ircc other than webform?

Did you receive an email inform you of the error in the shipping label, if yes, then you can respond back to the email. Apart from that webform is the only option.

Good day @legalfalcon another inquiry please. When a panel physician submits the medical examination results to IRCC, is the visa officer handling the application alerted/flagged that a medical examination results of an applicant has been sent/submitted? Does the medical examination results go straight to the visa officer or it’s first submitted to the IRCC health officer then the health officer after reviewing the results sends his findings/recommendation to the visa officer? Thank you @legalfalcon

All medical reports have a IME number. Based on the upfront sheet you provide, they are tagged to the application. However, all medical reports are sent to the Health Branch, and the report is sent to the file, where the officer makes a final decision on the medical inadmissibility if any.

Have you tried ordering GCMS notes ? That can help you know the exact status of your file.

Hello @legalfalcon

Any guess when PPR for outlanders would resume ? It looks to me that Canadian government is giving some indication that travel may restart from Mid July or August depending upon the percentage of their citizens vaccinated (75% is the target as per news before opening the travel).
I totally understand it's difficult to say anything with conviction but any thoughts from your side would be helpful.. Thanks

I am very happy to know that it says " Ready for Approval" considering the fact that as soon the restrictions are eased off, You'd straight away get your passport request.
