Dear Fellows

I need your help "Me and my family applied PR as in Canada protected person class" and today I received a letter from Immigration and they required Valid passports of me and my spouse but not for kids.

They send me following:

Valid passport or travel document. All persons seeking permanent resident

status in Canada must provide a valid passport or travel document issued by the Country of
Citizenship in order to become a permanent resident. Please submit a photocopy of your valid
passport or travel document to this office. If you are not in possession of a valid passport or

travel document, you should apply for one and send us a photocopy as soon as possible.

My passport is expired but my spouse has valid passport but in possession of CBSA since I applied as refugee, as per my information we can not renew our passports as we took protection from our country of citizen.

Do they need passports from everyone applied under protected person class?

kindly help me in this regard what should I do in this regard.

Thanks
It doesn't matter if your passport is expired, ircc should have given you a copy at the beginning, which is equivalent to the role of the component! Your spouse needs a valid passport!

my spouse is also protected person, how can renew passport? yes we have certified copies but if we renew passports from country of origin its negative or its normal? will they ask for valid passports from every one applied as protected person.

We should not renew the passport of the country of origin, you just submit the copy (expired) that ircc left you!

What should I write to IRCC with expired passport why i am not sending them renewed passport?
The principle of refugee asylum is the fear of persecution in the country of origin. This is the logic of refugee asylum, so there are some things we cannot do, such as renewing the passport of the country of origin, returning to the country of origin, and what we have to do is not touch the country of origin. Some things in the country, this is the logic of the establishment of asylum! If we have a strong relationship with the country of origin, the Canadian government will feel that we no longer fear the country of origin, and I don't need asylum from Canada! You also see him ask other buddies in the forum!

Thanks for response @gayrefugee but one thing is confusing me if we can’t renew our passports as refugee why they asked me to do so? And how I can make it correct.

My understanding is that if the passport expires, let him expire! I lived in Canada until naturalization! Applying for a Canadian passport, this is my understanding!

What should be my reply to IRCC if i am sending expired passport?
If it was me, I would say it directly! I am afraid of having a relationship with the country of origin, I do not want to have any contact with the country of origin, I dare not contact the embassy of the country of origin to update my passport! So I can only provide expired passports!

One more thing is it normal they asked passports from every protected person who applied PR? Because i did not hear this before as our passports are already with Immigration and as you said as a refugee we can’t renew or use our passport so why this officer asked this to me.

My passport is expired too i sent it like that they didn’t say anything. They know about expired passports already for refugee claimants. Don’t worry
