For the folks who got PPR request email 2nd time, are you supposed to physically sent the passport to IRCC again? I see some people got an option to upload passport copy online so I am curious if thats what CIC is asking from applicants whose COPR had previously expired?

This is how I see on my profile, 2 placeholders.
However, it appears under Supporting Documents section of primary applicant.
Hello Everyone, Need a bit of help here.
Has anyone used a two way courier service from VFS ? What documents are needed , I just want to be ready with it so that as soon as the portal opens I can request for the services.
Thanks in advance.

I got an auto acknowledgement about 4 days after I raised the webform. Not sure if this counts as a reply. The subject line had my client ID number and name.

Where’s my passport: Most passports from VAC/paper applications submitted to our offices in Delhi, Chandigarh and Bangalore have been returned to clients. If your passport has not been returned, please be patient as we process your file. If you have submitted your passport through our VFS Global, we recommend that you contact the VAC directly and provide your tracking number.
Passport submission: If you have already paid the 2-way courier service but have not yet submitted your passport, please hold on to it until services resume. If you have submitted your passport, it will be returned to you once the passport services resume. Given the high demand and inventory of requests we need to ensure a sound resumption plan is in place to support processing. We will resume passport submissions when we have the capacity to do so safely. Please continue to follow us on social media for further updated.
Passport Request Letters (PPRLs): Expired Passport Request Letters, will continue to be accepted until IRCC sends out a second notification to clients. In the second notification timeframes for compliance will be specified.
On June 17th the webform for students went live on the VAC website. Biometric appointments for students will take place beginning June 21, 2021. The webform is only open to student applicants, who have been issued a biometric instruction letter (BIL) and applied for a study permit. Please expect that it will take 2-4 days to receive confirmation of a biometric appointment given current demand.
Hi, did you figure out how to send the passports? I am in the same situation as you are.
My COPR expired last year but we could not travel due to covid. We did re-medicals and sent the latest PCC to them. Now, they have asked for the passport submission using VAC New York and it's super confusing. Please let me know if you have any info about this. Thanks
I did not get any acknowledgment or email after is submitted webform... but the last para in the acknowledgment sounds concerning. So they will accept the expired ppls until ircc sends second notification with compliance dates. What if the vfs doesn’t open the services till then ? I am seriously scared as this is the last chance for us to land with this copr and after this we will need to do a whole new process as suggested in their do you still want to immigrate email . I don’t understand why are t they opening the 2 way courier for pp submissions? Or are they waiting for 3 wave to hit in sep /oct ? New variant has already been detected in few states and new cases are coming , these people will just need an excuse to suspend their operations
It sounds weird but the people who have got the PPR.They have to see another option for passport stamping.if VFS doesn't open.
Like going to third country for passport stamping where VFS are open.example
ubai,abudhabi (if travel ban lifts)etc.From there they have to go Canada with negative report.
