Yes, I've never seen PPR in any official communications (unless maybe it's in caips?) so it must be an acronym for the general event that is a passport request. The file name of the letter I received with the passport request email included the word PHEP so I'm not sure what else you're looking for?

From a Canadian employer's perspective, there is a big difference between education (and work experience) in the UK vs. Pakistan. I can imagine it being tough for MRS to get a job in his field in Canada as his previous experience/education was in Pakistan but for you, having a Masters from the...

I received a letter named "PHEP P152E", which was essentially the request for passport so they could issue the visa. I'm assuming they also asked for a new medical because the one your sister-in-law previously completed is more than 1 year old (medicals are only valid for 1 year). So, all in...

PPR was via email, and it said if we drop the pp off in person, we'll get it back exactly two weeks later.

I just found out a short while ago that my wife got her PPR. Tears of joy flowed...it was a moment that I could only dream of...and impatiently wait for. And to this forum and to those posters who helped, and kept me upbeat without even knowing it, along the way...a BIG THANK YOU.

Check out this website for contact details: http://justice.gc.ca/atip-aiprp/howtoreachus-commentnouscontacter-eng.asp They didn't rush the processing but they did tell me when they started processing the request and when it was due to be completed. I called them on the due date to check whether...

I ordered CAIPS notes twice and each time it took approximately 5 weeks from the time I mailed it. However, I also doggedly followed up om my second CAIPS request as it was close to our interview date, and I think this helped ensure someone was watching our request to get it mailed out asap.

I disagree, I think you should strongly consider having your sponsor there depending on your specific situation. In my case, my wife and I both felt that my presence in the waiting room gave the IO greater confidence in her application. I introduced myself to him and he said he'd call me in if...

I believe there's also an option to not have the call recorded, which is a less than perfect way of remaining anonymous yet still discussing your case.

No, we haven't received an email yet...our decision made came up only a week after the interview and I think that's because we had done the medical 2 months ago. Well, let's hope we both get our emails this week or latest by next week. At least then you might get to enjoy the last month of...

I totally agree re: CAIPS - it helped us a lot to see what exactly they had written on file for us. It at least gives an idea of why they called the applicant for an interview. Based on this, you can prepare and anticipate potential questions. It takes about a month (or a little longer) for...

Regarding the medical: if your medical expires within one month or less of your upcoming interview, I would recommend that you re-do your medical as soon as possible. I really don't see any advantage to waiting until the interview, as it takes quite a while for the medical to be assessed and...

Syedd - has e-cas changed to 'decision made' for you? I just noticed it had changed for me. nncs, if you search interview in this forum, you'll see the types of questions that can come up, but generally, I'd say you carefully review your application to see if there are any areas that might...

Yes we did email but as with your case, I wouldn't be surprised if we don't get a response. Best thing is to order caips notes to check whether the new medical is on file.

He just mentioned that the medical had expired, but my wife had already done a new medical a month earlier knowing it was expiring...he said he didn't see the new one in the system yet but that he would email us within a week to let us know if it arrived (it's been more than a week now). London...

Hi, we are also awaiting passport request after having the interview last week. I am hoping for something soon...this process has already taken 9 months and I'm hoping it doesn't take another two months. By the way, have you emailed them to find out the status? Also, you might want to order...

Thanks - I should have mentioned that I already did this and they said the medical has been sent two days after completion.

Hi there, as suggested by others on this forum, I faxed Ottawa (613-941-9528) regarding medicals completed but supposedly not received by the overseas visa office, which in our case is London. My fax requested Ottawa to forward the medical results to the London office asap as that is the only...

I'm not sure this is accurate - maybe someone else can answer as well. From what I remember, there was no requirement to send transcripts or birth certificates specifically. The general requirement appears to be for some proof of identity (in my wife's case, she sent a photocopy of her...
