You could send an email to ankraimmigration@international.gc.ca and in the subject write something like Urgent: Passport needed back and explain that you need your passport. If possible, could you share your timeline, please? How long did it take for you to get PPR since the application was...

Hello @talaat05, could you tell whether you applied through the IRCC portal or IRCC secure account? I applied on October 7 for a Visitor Visa on IRCC secure account and I am an immediate family member (spouse) of a Canadian PR. I applied on October 7, biometrics matched from the previous TRV...

Hello all, Could you tell me if we can apply for a new Visitor Visa only through the IRCC portal or we can also apply from the IRCC secure account? I have previously created an IRCC secure account and submitted a Visitor Visa application a week ago from there. Do you think that we will also get...

Hello all, Is there a difference between submitting a Visitor Visa application using an IRCC portal and an IRCC secure account? What is the difference between these portals? Experts, could you please explain? Also, is it a guarantee that a decision will be made on the Visitor Visa applications...

Hello @ahmedsyed29, congratulations on getting your COPR. It is completely fine, your port of entry should not be a problem. The officer will just verify that your spouse's COPR, passport are ok and ask her for a mailing address to send the PR card. Good luck to you!

Hello all, have any August 2020 or September 2020 applicants received PPRs or DM status from the Ankara VO? @dominic420 did you get any updates from the Ankara VO?

No actually, usually biometrics requests are sent soon after the application was submitted or matched from the previous application(s) if there is any. Probably your application is in the eligibility review stage.

Yeah, they might do batch processing. I really do not understand why the Ankara VO works so slowly. Even in this group, we see that one or two people get some important updates in a month. Other VOs process the applications so quickly, within 7-12 months. It is really unbelievable.

Applied for the GSMS notes on August 16, 2021, and received them today. The eligibility, criminality, and security checks have not been initiated yet (November 2020 applicant). Has anyone received updates on their application this month? Thank you.

16 months, too much. I do not know why they process the applications so slowly. I have seen that some people applying even in May 2021 have received their PPRs, but it is really unfair that some Visa Offices force people to be separated so easily. Why so long? And why do not they respond to...

My biometrics matched from the previous TRV

I am wondering if anyone has been successful to talk to an agent on phone in the Embassy of Canada in Ankara. Or has anybody been able to go to the Embassy regarding the status of their application?

In Canada.

I believe you should inform IRCC once you arrive in Canada by giving your new Canadian mailing address. But if the passport is requested before your visit there, I think you will need to send your passport as instructed as you become an outland applicant in this case. If you do not mind, could...

A pre-arrival services letter means that you have passed the review of the eligibility step. Decision-made means your application has either been rejected or approved (I believe and wish it to be approved), which means your background check is also completed. Probably you will get a passport...

MP - Member of Parliament. You can communicate with your local Member of Parliament and he/she can contact IRCC and provide you with an update on your application.

Thanks for providing the update on your application @athinavidi. If I am not mistaken, you are a February 2020 applicant, right? It is so long time. Have you tried contacting your local MP? Or have you ordered GSMS notes? Almost 19 months, why does it take so long?

Hmm, I see. IRCC really does not handle the cases fairly. You have already had a timeline of 12 months, and the Ankara VO has to ask for the PPR. I do not know why they separate families from each other so easily. COVID-19 has been a good excuse for IRCC. What is not understandable is that other...

I applied in November 2020, three months after yours @dominic420. As the latest update, passed the medical exam on April 29, 2021 (biometrics was also matched from the previous TRV). Since that time no updates. Have you ordered GSMS notes @dominic420? What is the status of the eligibility...
