Hello,
I got my PPR request today. This group is what kept me sane knowing I am not alone. My previous COPR expired on Aug 2019. Remeds was updated on 1st June.I am from India and I understand that VFS is closed. Once it opens and I have my Visa do I need a transit visa to fly from India to Canada with stopover in London through British Airways. Can someone guide me on getting a Transit Visa if applicable.
Thank you
Hello,
Congratulations. As per my knowledge, you will not need any transit Visa if you're flying with British Airways provided the connecting flight is from the same Airport and preferably same carrier (BA).
All the best !

Strange update on my profile -- now status is "Submitted", Additional Documents says "Not Applicable". Most likely because the deadline was 11th June, However the placeholder for uploading documents too has vanished, instead of saying "Overdue". How about you ?
My application status still says 'Your action is required' and for uploading documents says "replacement overdue' as well. Only medical part is updated and said not required at this time.

You got PCC on 14th as per your signature after getting PCC and medical request like normal process. I mean to say everything step by step. But in my case I got everything all-together, so no idea how thye are processing things. Do you have any updates on VFS if in India? Can we submit documents using two way courier service if available?

for uploading documents says "replacement overdue' - this is exactly what I was expecting as well. Somehow this did not happen and 14th June I received PPR. Strange !!

Hi,

Taking back to the subject of Old PCC requirement, I raised my query on the IRCC Twitter page but so far no response. On the other hand, my consultant is insisting on applying for the PCCs for which I haven't visited after receiving the CoPR. I confronted him to submit only New UAE PCC & Medicals with a Copy of Old PPCs, he informed me that if anything goes wrong then he would not be responsible. Shall I go ahead and take the risk or should I apply? Will there be an outright rejection if anything goes wrong?
Hi
I was told to submit updated PCCs(not old ones) and they had given me 90 days to do it. I would say why take the risk. You have reached this far. In 90 days, you can definitely get the new PCCs.

Dear @BillyWescott

Thanks a lot for your response with proper evidence. This clears the air out of any ambiguity left out. Much appreciated.

Regards
Vimalan

Also thanks to @whyCorona & @Mavs_2016 for guidance.
Your welcome

I had raised the same point with the above link in my email and webform to IRCC. They stressed on the fact that "An officer may ask for a new one later on". In my case, this is what happened. The officer told to provide updated PCCs.

I got the email on the 19th and replied on the 24th of April. Sent messages to my local VO and to Canada IRCC as well, got generic replies citing “delays due to COVID-19”. I even replied again on the “Do you still want to immigrate” email asking to initiate my medicals process, but to no avail. Tried calling them on two numbers: the one requiring a US number doesn’t connect to an IRCC agent and I’m stuck in the IVR menus and another was a helpline number (which weirdly can be connected to only if you have a Canadian number). I got myself a virtual Canadian number and tried calling from that too, but it just doesn’t connect.
I asked before too and I’ll request again: If anyone reading this post has any advice to give, I’d be really grateful for any inputs or guidance on what to do next.
Please raise your concerns to IRCC.IN-RROC-CORR-RI.IRCC@cic.gc.ca They usually respond.

For those who received PPR @Fmegha86 @pavie24 @idhar_chicha @UsakaurB - did you receive a pdf in account (5 pages) which states something like this-

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.

STEP 1: Change in Circumstances:

STEP 2: Passport Requirements – Determine if you need to submit your passport(s)

STEP 3: PREPARE YOUR DOCUMENTS


Received this as a request letter and its a bit confusing. They have also asked me upload passport copies within account as well.
Yes, Its the same letter but there is no request to upload the passport copies.
