Hi everyone,
I received an Information letter in my portal. It states the following:
Please review your contact details above and advise us of any errors or updates.
The processing of your application for permanent residence in Canada is almost complete. You must complete the following steps within 30 days in order for our office to issue your Confirmation of Permanent Residence and, if applicable, your permanent residence visa. If for any reason you are not able to meet this deadline, please inform our CPC Edmonton office immediately via the IRCC Web Form: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/contacts/web-form.asp with details concerning your situation.
STEP 1: Change in Circumstances:
Should any of the following circumstances apply to you or any accompanying family member, you must inform this office immediately:
Change in marital status, for example due to marriage, divorce, legal separation, annulment or death of spouse;
Change in family composition, for example due to adoption or birth of a child, including a child born to your accompanying dependent child,
Death of principal applicant, spouse, accompanying children, or death of sponsoring relative;
Change in health;
You or any of your accompanying family members being charged or convicted of a criminal offence
Change in contact information: mailing address, e-mail address, or telephone number.
Your failure to inform us of any of these changes may result in the cancellation of your permanent resident visa and may render you and your accompanying family members inadmissible to Canada. In addition, failure to declare all of your family members, accompanying or not, will permanently exclude them from sponsorship under the Family Class regulations.
STEP 2: Passport Requirements – Determine if you need to submit your passport(s)
Determine whether you need a visa or an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) to travel to Canada at: www.cic.gc.ca/ENGLISH/visit/visas.asp
a. If your passport is from a country whose citizens need a visa to travel to Canada, you will need to submit original passport(s) for you and each accompanying family member. Your passport(s) should be valid for at least 6 months and have at least two blank pages. If a child is included on your passport, you must have one blank page per accompanying child.
Please note that you STILL need to submit your passport(s) even if:
o You or your accompanying family members have a valid Canadian temporary residence visa or permit.
o You or your accompanying family members are permanent residents of the U.S.A and holder of passport(s) from countries whose citizens need a visa to travel to Canada.
Note: All passports must be intact and not worn, torn or otherwise damaged; the laminate on the bio-data page must be securely attached. Each page must be securely affixed to the passport; there cannot be any loose pages.
b. If your passport is from a country whose citizens need an eTA to travel to Canada or your passport is from the United States, you will need to submit one photocopy of the photo page and any pages containing amendments of the passport for you and each accompanying family member (Note: any accompanying family member whose passport does require a visa however, will need to submit their original passport as per Step 2a). Your passport(s) should be valid for at least 6 months. Please do not send your original passport(s).
*** Please note that Confirmation of Permanent Residence and permanent resident visas cannot be issued on Diplomatic, Official or Military passports or travel documents. You must provide an ordinary passport. ***
STEP 3: PREPARE YOUR DOCUMENTS
You must submit together:
1. One copy of this letter.
2. Passport(s) OR photocopy(ies) of passport(s), as explained in Step 2.
3. Two (2) photos of yourself and of each accompanying family member. Photos MUST meet the precise specifications found in the link below or in Appendix A at the end of this letter. If you submit photos that do not meet the exact specifications, your package will be returned to you (www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/pdf/5445EB-e.pdf)
All required documents must be submitted in one single package.
A) To submit your package while overseas:
Please submit your package to the nearest Visa Application Centre along with the VAC Passport Transmission fee.
For Passport Transmission instructions and fee details, please visit:
https://www.vfsglobal.ca/canada/
For those residing in Latin America. The United States, and the Caribbean please visit:
https://www.vfsglobal.ca/canada/tts/
B) If you are currently in Canada:
You are not required to submit your passport and will be landed virtually. Please advise our office via webform within 5 days of receipt of this letter if you and/or any of your dependents are in Canada. Please include each person’s name/UCI and where they are currently staying/residing (in Canada or overseas).
Can please any one tell me what I need to do next? Apart from the letter I have not received an email about portal credential creation. do i have to reply to this letter? if yes, how do i reply to this letter?
I am inland candidate currently visiting india.

Good morning jolly11! That's a great news! This email is the portal email which (almost) confirmed that you got your PR status accepted!
You just need to answer directly to this email with the requested information.
After you've answered, you will soon receive another email giving you access to the PR portal. There, you will also need to provide some information and a picture. Just follow point by point the instructions, no traps.
Have a great day!

Thanks joeybill. But i did nor receive any email in my registered email id. I just got a notification email stating that we have updated your application. After I login to my IRCC account, under messages I got a pdf name INFORMATION LETTER which contained the above information.
Any help is appreciated.
Oh, my apologies, I've read your first message too quickly.
You should still follow their request, plus the instructions given at https://visa.vfsglobal.com/ind/en/can/passport-submission.
I'll let someone else answer with more details if anyone had to do the exact same thing.
no worries. by "You should still follow their request, " --you mean inform if i am in canada or not? .
What was the process in your case? Did you receive any physical email in your personal email id and you clicked on reply to reply to it? Or you received something in your IRCC portal with instructions on how to reply?

Hi.
I have one question:
CEC Inland - 1 dependent
Bio: passed
Med: passed
Background: passed Apr 17
Eligibility: in progess since Apr 5 as per GCMS dated Apr 28.
I called IRCC last Tues, they told me I already passed EVERYTHING, just have to wait for portal email in next couple of days

Have anyone experienced this situation before? Any suggestions?

1) I think you have to tell them where you are. They will know anyway that you were away when you'll come back.
2) First option: I've received an email from the PR portal service to which I was able to reply to.
Received portal Email 1 yesterday, submitted information today
Received login credentials for pr portal today, and submitted photo
