Mine, was like this, so I used IRCC Contact us form and attached the letter and passport page. They will send it to the right person dealing with your application.
My CIC account is not updating anything

Hi all,
Finally received by Biometrics Instruction letter! Question is... anyone been to the London office for a walk in appointment? Do you need to be there for when they open and how long did people end up waiting?
I looked online today and they don't have any bookable appointments until the end of next week so I'm tempted to just go for a walk-in and wait it out!

Hey
So I went to the London office. We did have booked appointments but due to train nightmares (we travelled from manchester) ended up missing our appointments. When we called they advised that it was fine to go as a walk in. We had a 5 minute wait, and it's was very efficient.
It was during the day though,like 1pm. But if you call on the day and ask about walk in you should be fine!

@Ronaldinho @TheNorms @RayBear Thank you for reverting to my query. We are preparing our passports to be sent to Canada for COPR. By the time our visas are approved and Passports are returned, it will be last week of March or so. Fingers crossed that we get decent time to do our landing. Will keep everyone posted on this. Thank you again!
As per my note below; if you're going to be doing a walk-in (especially if travelling far) i'd recommend getting there early in the day, just to be on the safe side. You don't want to end up missing the chance if it's cost you a fortune to get there.
This happened to us too, except my appointment was at 3:45. And despite the fact that it does not say so anywhere on their website, they stop processing at 4pm. The people on the door were absolute tossers about letting us in as they would not allow more walk ins but once we got inside the team were very accomodating
congratulations buddy, usually it takes no more than 6 working days to receive back your passports, as soon as they arrive in the embassy, you will see your CIC profile to approved and the final decision has been made. Good luck , anyone of you that will settle in Saskatchewan?
Congrats on your PPR! I am a bit puzzled, i thought europeans did not need to send the passports / get a visa just send a copy and pictures and would obtain the COPR letter soon after? Is it changed now?
for most of the EU countries, there is no need for entry visa, so you just need to send a copy of your passport + 2 pictures, determine if you require a visa in www.cic.gc.ca/ENGLISH/visit/visas.asp
We are hinting towards the east coast. But no fixations. Open to opportunities and options. How about?
it will be awesome to share any experience when you land there, if I travel from Amsterdam through Toronto to Saskatoon, should I go to the immigration office in Toronto or Saskatoon?
You will do all your immigration in Toronto airport, pending on your lay over time if you have a connecting flight and the time you arrive at Toronto you can also get your SIN number in the airport. So much easier, one less thing to worry about.
