I got the passport request letter before I got my eCoPR. My VO is Vancouver.

Hi congratulations! Did your dependants received their passports stamped ? How much time it took to get passport stamped for your Dependants?
Thanks

Is it mandatory for Primary applicant to have COPR issued before Outland spouse sends passport for stamping?

Yes that was clearly mentioned in PPR two times with bold letters , that "Passport only be send when Primary applicant receives COPR" .

This PPR mail was that 'Ready for Visa' mail right?

Yeah correct. For me as well in the 'Ready for Visa' mail we did not find any such clause. Maybe it depends on the issuing VO. Mine was from CPC Sydney.

Woah I didn't know that, besides , they are still telling us to wait.

Yes the informativeness of the response varies from agent to agent. Some agents will give you standard reply to wait and be patient with covid etc.and others will go an extra mile to help and try to find info. We emailed Portal many times and each time we were getting same response "to wait because there are record landings etc.". But this week a different agent responded and said pictures have been approved and sent for printing. So just keep persisting and you will find out something. Good luck

Not yet, my dependents will be submitting the passports next week.

The letter for passport which my dependents got had this clause:

"Dear xxxxxxxxxxxx:
This is in reference to your application for permanent residence. To finalize your application, we require the following documents from your overseas dependent(s) xxxxxxxxxxxxx (UCI xxxxxxxxxxxx) and xxxxxxxxxxxx (UCI xxxxxxxxxxxx). Passports for dependent(s) should only be submitted after you, the primary applicant has received the confirmation of permanent residence status."

So it does seem that the PA need to get the COPR before the passports are submitted. But I think its just more of a cautionary clause on their behalf, as they wouldn't issue a passport request letter without them being sure about issuing the PA's COPR.

seems like PPR request is generated on case to case basis. its not uniform or common. Or may be depend on issuing VO.

Yes, everyone's letter is different depending which VO it was issued from. I seen the similar other cases where none of this COPR for primary clause was written.

But on the other example you shared , its weird that spouse was allowed to enter without primary COPR issuance , because I read that Primary has to complete landing first and then and only dependent is allowed to do landing.

Well, this is IRCC, sometimes its hard to predict what actually they want.
