I received the PR confirmation portal email back in June, I replied saying me and my partner were outside Canada and never received a reply. We are UK citizens and I believe we don't need PPR, I'm thinking about going out there and then filling out the portal info. Is anyone in a similar position? Has anyone done the same thing?
Just an update... Had a meeting with my immigration consultant to talk about the plan above. She didn't recommend going to Canada as there is no guarantee that will change anything. She was pretty bleak about the whole situation, she doesn't think much will happen this year as they can fill their yearly quota from internal applicants.
Don't want to be a downer, just thought I'd pass on the info

Hi @kirsteeee I received an email with subject line: `Ready for VISA. Please use this letter if your accompanying dependants are currently residing in .....` Is this the Passport Request? If so, there's no letter along with that email. Should I print the email and send it along with passport? Did you receive something similar for yourself?

Please let me know

Thanks

Hey Tom. No, I had an email saying that there was a new message waiting for me. When I logged into my account there was a message and it requested passport or copy of passport if from a visa exempt country. Does the email mention sending your passport?

Yes it does!

It asks me to submit

1. copy of the letter(that email I presume)
2. Two photos
3. Passport

All of it in a single package with all the photo specs

Yep, that's what the message in my account said. I also had to pay a transmission fee and include proof of payment. There was also a page in the letter that they ask to be filled, details like height, eye colour.

This is incorrect, In that case how can they declare that they want 4laks immigrants for 2021. They will clear all the back logs before November.

apparently the backlog of application is over 700,000(?) and they have already landed over 180,000 this year. By those numbers ifthey can clear around 220,000 of these, they can still meet the 400,000 target.

700000 ??? I don't think so . Where you got this number. Total FSW + CEC =23000 backlogs till Feb2021. Now the count is reduced. Not sure from where you got the update of 7 Laks applicants.
