Just wondering how come you get the PPR on a weekend!!! Did you receive it yesterday? Through post(as post supposed to be closed on Good Friday!!) or in e.mail...
It came by post and i only checked my postal box yesterday. It would have been sitting there at least 1 week by my calculations based on the date of the letter.

Can you please share your PPR contents and specific advises here in this forum for us...
No worries , The letter basically gives me 30 days to respond.
asks me to resubmit 4 passport photos each. In my case this is the 3rd time i am submitting photos.
asks me to fill up another form ( which i presume is the very last form in the process ) which asks for details of our names , gender , passport no and expiry date , height and eye colour , telephone contact.
The form also asks how i would like the passport returned ie registered post , courier , express mail , in person. With the 2nd and 3rd option i would need to fork out for it.
It states when my visa is valid until ( Sep 2011 in my case which is 1 year from date when my meds were done ) and that i need to ensure that none of the passports i am submitting will expire before the visa expires
ie no passport in my case expires before sept 2011. If i do have a passport which will expire then it is in my best interest to get it renewed before submitting otherwise ALL our visas will expire on the date of the expiring passport.
An interesting note i found was that if you and your family did not all do the medicals together but at separate times ie eg one person did it in August and the rest of the family did it in Oct. The expiry date they use is based on the very 1st medical done and not the last medical.
They did also stress that i need a least 1 blank page in the passports
I was advised to report any changes to the marital status and family composition immediately. Once a visa is issued dependents cant be included and any failure to declare all dependents prior to visa issuing would render them ineligible for future sponsorship.
It did advise me that if any of us on the app was pregnant that we needed to enter canada before the birth of the child. If we werent able to then we needed to advise them immediately along with a doctors letter confirming it and the due date of the baby. In such a case i wasnt to send in any passport and that they would advise me of my options
After all that it finally stresses that i should not commit any plans or purchase tickets or resign from my job etc until the passports has been returned and that it contained the immigration visa in it. ;D
Hope it helps
cheers
