CHANGE of VISA OFFICE [from Ottawa to Local VO] - Anyone ?

[Nebm31]

did you email them from your personal email ? what was the content of your email ?
thanks a bunch

Hi,
I sent thru CPC-Ottawa for my family change visa office and I received an automated reply like this.

IMPORTANT: If you are the applicant or an authorized representative, you must provide us with your application number in the subject line of your email and include in the body of your email the following information:
* Surname and Given name(s);
* Date of birth (YYYY-MM-DD);
* Unique Client Identifier (UCI) number / Client ID number;
* Category of Immigration (CEC, Provincial Nominee, Family Class, Federal Skilled Worker, Temporary Resident);

So I send them again twice with this format above my email letter.
I sent it last Oct. 29 and I got my request granted letter on MyCIC last Nov. 02 from Canadian Embassy Manila.

yes pr_rider that is the email address.
It will be mentioned in your original ppr as well where they ask ppl outside Canada and US to send them emails for change to LVOs..
you have to send it through your personal email address (wud recommend the same email add as registered with cic).
i composed my email on top of the original ppr email so most of my details were already there - i just copied them again on the top..

and yes, sorry for the late response to your previous message- somehow missed it
but nebm31 has already given you all the details required.. just add your personal (and family) details with the desired local visa office and they'll send you the local PPR in around 10-15 days as a new msg in mycic with an email notification to your personal email account.
if you want, you could also include your passport numbers and Exp entry application number in the email..

Hi! @pr_rider
Sorry for the late reply. Yes I sent them thru my personal email add and you will received an automated reply right away. The first reply was on my spam so I barraged them with 2 more email successively to ensure that they will receive it. After 4 working days I received an arrangement request letter form Canadian Embassy Manila in MyCIC.

Hello All,

Thanks for sharing all your experience, many of my questions regarding change of LVO got cleared after reading all your posts.

Here is my case, I have submitted my PR application under PNP category Inland on Sep24th and still waiting for the final decision.
current status is BG in progress. But I have some plans for vacation to home country for about 3 months starting from December. as of now I don't have work permit, I am just on Implied status n if I leave Canada, I can't come back unless I get my PR.

Once the decision is made and I get PPR.
1) I will just get a message in My cic account correct? (not to personal email, however we get an email that our my cic is updated )
2) I just need to send an email to CPC-CTD-Ottawa@cic.gc.ca including all the details n ask to issue new PPR to LVO correct?
3) The email can be sent via my cic registered email address and in 1 or 2 weeks , I will get new PPR.
4) Once , I get new PPR, I will send it to local LVO and we receive our passport with single entry stamp(how long will be the validity of stamp will be?)

please clarify thanks

please clarify thanks

just what i know.. seniors may pls clarify all doubts..

1) No, original ppr is an email to personal address, local vo ppr is as a new msg in mycic account.
2) & 3) Not sure they change VO upon any and all request - in my case (and most other cases), i reside outside US and Canada so cic asks us to request for a change in VO to LVO.. dont know if they do that if person is inland -- am not saying they dont, just that i dont know.
4) Normally it is around 1 year from completing upfront medicals - in my case it is 1 yr + 1 week.

 

[sujani]

Can anybody let me knw how does the request letter looks like after the visa office changed to Local VO?

 

[sujani]

Hi All!

I got my PPR. I'm currently in my home country in Europe and that's what my email says:

"If you are unable to submit any of the required documentation for you or your accompanying family members to the addresses below, please send an email to us at CPC-CTD-Ottawa@cic.gc.ca so that alternate arrangements can be explored."

How do I ask for a change to a LVO? I just email that to the address included in the email? Any specific explanation I should provide for the change?

Thanks!!

Dear PR Applicants i need your help !
i am inland FSW applicant and i finally received PPR . i am currently not in Canada , i am in my home country. Canada does not have an embassy or consular section or vac here. and my wife does not have a visa to come to Canada.

Thanks Nebm31 and Adi_16 for the response, yes agree with you there is potential risk associated if I do so.
But technically they should not have any problem when I mention that I am on vacation n I need PPR from LVO.
ok how about if I do this way, when I get PPR request , Can I send the passport to Ottawa from India(will courier services accept to send passports to other country), I heard they won't accept to send passport to a person , but if your sending it to VO then they will(bt not sure).

Thanks,
sam

Hi,

I finally received my PPR yesterday from Ottawa after a month long wait.. I stay inside Canada while my spouse stays outside Canada.

I understand that I need to send a CSE to Ottawa for a VO change for my spouse..

Can anyone pls guide if I can submit my passport in the meantime to Ottawa for stamping or should I wait until I get the VO changed for my spouse?
