I got my AOR on Feb 17th and received Passport call on Dec 19th - 10 months of waiting.

Sharing my experience here in case someone might find it helpful:
I was starting to believe that I will not get the passport call. While this was going on, I had some family emergency and therefore, I had to travel back to my home country (India) on Nov 27th. Thankfully my company allowed me to work online from home.

On Dec, 19th I got passport call to submit my passport to Canada within 30 days. Since Canada doesn't send back the passport outside of North America, I inquired with my lawyer and replied back to the same "passport request email" on Dec 21st to change the document submission office to one in India. The AutoResponse email said that it might take 20 days for a reply, however, despite weekends, 23rd and 24th and the Christmas holidays on 25th and 26th, I got a reply back on 27th allowing me to do so (they replied back in just 2 business days). They also gave me 30 days from the receipt of that email to submit all docs.

I traveled to Bengaluru, my nearest visa application center and gave all documents on Jan 3rd.
Today, Jan 11th, I collected my Passport along with Permanent Residence Confirmation Letter and Immigrant Visa.

I always had the choice to return to Canda to submit my documents, but my family situations did not really allow me to. I am just posting this in case if there is anyone who is going through this situation - letting them know that these options are also available/possible.

Now all that is left for me to do is enter Canada as a Permanent Resident.
(I had been in Canada as a student and as a worker for the past 6 years)

I just got a request to upload the IMM 5475. The form looks straightforward enough, but I have a couple of questions

1. What's the "Name of Office where application was submitted" -> Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada?

2. Why did I get this form? I filled out the application myself, didn't use a lawyer or any representative. I did have my wife listed as a Designated Individual, so is this form merely a way to double check that?

3. Is this a standard request that many people get, or is this unusual? I searched the forum and only found a few responses.
Dear friend,
I am in the same situation as you were. I got a request to submit IMM5475. Could you please tell as what did you do.
In my case in express entry profile I listed my partner as designated individual but later while submitting POST ITA documentation I removed her and marked that section as ‘NO’.
Could you/someone please help with your suggestions as to what should I reply them.
Request experience members to all share some light on this.
Thanks in Advance!
