No, the email address they sent PPR email supposed to be automatic which means they will not reply anything to you. the correct email you should send email to ask is: CPC-CTD-Ottawa@cic.gc.ca

For first question, you can either email Ottawa office or call CIC to confirm if they have received your passport. For second question, once your application has been approved, the online status will be changed to "your application has been approved". That is how you check both of them.

Happy New Year!! First of all, it is definitely a good news that they have started your BCG. You are 99% progress to dm now!!! Please do not worry about the BCG time frame, I have heard HK office usually takes longer BCG time than other Visa office this year and it is totally normal for HK...

you can email Ottawa office and ask them if they have received your passport

It usually takes 6-8 weeks now to get their first response, they will give you your file number and UCI number in it.

Yes they would be my suggestion, just wait for their response. I do not think it would be a big problem since it is not the formal form.

Okay, that is not that bad then, they might keep your application. But I do not think it will work if you just send a explanation letter right now, because you are not even in their file yet.

Hi, I just want to make sure if i have any misunderstanding. Did you forget to sign any formal forms that CIC request to fill, or just forgot to sign a description you wrote by yourself? The first situation is 100% to return. The second one is not bad, they might still keep your application.

For small mistakes, there might be chance that they will still keep your application without returning it. For me, I didn't prepare my NOA very well (but I submit all the other tax info), and they still kept my application and gave me the application number, but missing signature is considered...

Yup!

You do not need to worry about it at all. You can choose either signature required or not, that will not affect your process at all. I did it with signature required,too, there is no problem for me at all.

In my opinion, you probably will get your dm in 1 month. The time frame to receive your GCMS notes is usually 1 month, too. you may not need to order the note at this point. If i were you, I will wait for 1 or 2 more weeks to see if there is any update in online account before ordering note.

it totally depends on different cases, some cases got dm in 1 day after BCG started, some cases take weeks or even months to get dm after BCG started. No one can give you an exact answer. The good thing is you are very close to the end of the journey now, so do not worry about it. :)

As long as you do not staple all your documents, paperclips are totally fine.

Yes, that is correct. When you receive your COPR, there will be a deadline for your PR visa which means you have to land before that date. The time frame they give for your landing deadline usually depends on your medical exam expiration date.

how did you receive the requests from CIC before? If they always send requested emails(like medical and PCC) to you, PPR will come as email, too.

I don't think so, the impact of time frame would more depend on your case. It might be faster if the case is super easy.

I knew a lot of HK May/June applicants were still waiting for their DM, most of them got AOR2 in early July or August and nothing updated except interview requests since that. Last 2 weeks a bunch(at least 10 ppl) of March to June HK applicants received interview requests in Jan, that's it, I...

It means they havent started your background check yet. Once the line changed to "We started processing your background check." dm will come very soon after bcg which is "Decision made". After decision made they will send Passport request email to you in several days and that would be the end...
