today my ECAS went to "decision Made" mycic is still in background check.. no PPR in the email yet.

I wonder if the Dm is negative ...since I have seen cases where applicant didn't receive the email that requests additional documents and cic closed that file.

My police certificate is already expired. It's been 7 months but they didn't request a new one; I hope I didn't miss the email.
Congrats:)
Honestly, I am very happy to you. I hope that you get your PPR email soon.

They have responded to me in a day. Hope you get an answer soon. Best of luck
Thanks we already did that. Thanks PMC2, it's the below excerpts from the email that we receive and the part which highlighted in BOld is stopping it to send it directly to the country of residence visa office
All required documents must be submitted in one single package within 30 days with a printed copy of this email.
Note: If you are an Iranian national currently residing outside Iran and wish to collect your visa in a location other than Ankara, different procedures will apply. Please reply to this e-mail adding “NEW ADDRESS FOR VISA ISSUANCE” to the subject line of the e-mail.

My ECAS also went to "decision Made" today. I think, we will hear about PPR very soon.

Congrats cyclist & Arash_Civil!
I'm sure you will get the passport request letter very soon!
Phew, thank God Ankara is back on track! :)

Does anyone know if the passport must be valid for at least 6 months in order to get the visa stamp? I've heard some don't pay much attention to 6 months and just give you a visa stamp before your expiry date.

Does your spouse have a Canadian visa application centre where she is living now? If so, she should contact them asap. She has only 2 days left to send her passport.

Wait a couple of days. PPR should follow soon. If not, send Ankara a case-specific enquiry.

I am not sure if they accept less than 6 month or not but you have a chance to change it before you send it for landing visa. Sometimes airports don't accept the passport with less than 6 month either.

For my mom's parents visa, we changed her passport after they sent the passport request. There was a form which you had to fill it with the old and new passport info. If you wish to change your passport you should be able to in the landing visa case as well.

Thank you!
We didn't receive the passport request yet, but hopefully it will arrive anytime now. Yes, my husband will renew it now.
So once we do receive the passport request, we have to fill in the old passport information at the visa centre while sending out the new passport right?
