Hello, guys:
I'm wondering after the passports are returned from the PPR, are we supposed to receive a landing paper which is separate from the passport, or any sorts of immigration visa which is sticked to the passport. Please advise.

Thanks!

The visa is inside the passport, the COPR will arrive with the passport.

So the 'visa' you mentioned is 'immigration visa', not a 'visitor visa'? I don't really want my government know I'm holding a green card of another nation...

Your immigration visa looks just like a visitor visa.the difference is it says immigrant on it.

so can we send any passport size photo to get the immig visa? I remember that to get Visitor visa, I simply provided pics from the photo machine. So, if there's no difference with both visa could i do the same about immig visa... has anyone used Photos from a machine to get immig visa?

Yes it is an immigration visa.

BTW Canada doesn't issue "green cards", Ok I am being pedantic :)

What country are you talking about, why do you need to keep this information from them?
If it is the USA, you are out of luck.

There are 2 questions that I have. Would be great if experts/seniors can advise:

1. My Wife (Indian Citizen) who is in Canada as a Temp Worker has sent her Passport to CPC - Ottawa for PR Visa Stamping.
a. Can she as for a "Landing" Appointment with CIC Office in Halifax now?
b. Should she wait for the Passport to get Stamped and returned to her and then get her "Landed Status" through Flagpoling? Is there any risk in Flagpoling?

2. I'm about to send my Passport to Delhi CIC office via VFS Global.
a. Do I need to travel to Canada within a specified time period i.e. Validity of the Stamped "Immigrant" Visa?
