You can request, but your file will be processed in Paris, as you are living now in France.

Hello friends

I have some good news but i need your help.

I have recieved a letter of request today letting me know that my application has reached the final stage which is amazing news considering our Application was recieved Dec 17 and its only May 8. I am shocked and grateful with this time frame.

I need help with the following point in the letter

2. Validity of a Confirmation of Permanent Residence form (IMM-5688)

The issuance of your immigrant visa and/or of your Confirmation of Permanent Residence form (IMM- 5688) is time sensitive so it is important for you to act quickly upon receipt of this letter. Please note that the validity of your IMM-5688 is limited by the validity of your medical results or the validity of your passport (or of one of your accompanying dependent), whichever is shortest. Once you receive your IMM-5688, please check the information on it to make sure it is correct. If there are any errors, such as incorrect spelling of name or incorrect date of birth, please inform the Immigration Section of the Embassy of Canada in Vienna immediately and we will confirm if reprinting is necessary. Please note that IRCC follows strict guidelines to record names in its database and that we may not be able to accommodate personal preferences. You must travel to Canada and present your IMM-5688 at a Canadian Port of Entry before they expire. Once issued, the validity of your IMM-5688 cannot be extended except in very specific circumstances, which may require us to reopen your application and undertake new assessments. Consequently, if you fail to enter Canada before your IMM-5688 expires and still wish to immigrate to Canada, you may have to reapply by submitting a new application and paying new processing fees. All such applications will be assessed according to the immigration laws in force at the time of receipt of the application. There is no guarantee a future application will be successful.

What is this form and when will it be sent to me because the letter of request states i need to submit my passport within 30 days. However this point is confusing because it states i have to travel to canada before expiry date. Help me understand this and if i need to act in regards to this point of the letter and is this separate from the passport submission

Thank you in advance

Congratulations!
Nothing to worry about ;) these are standard papers. COPR.
You'll receive these two papers, which you will need for landing in Canada.(one for you, one for Officer in the airport)
You have to land max 1 year after your medical exam was passed. This is the expiry date in IMM 5688

I can try to estimate for you,
You should hear from IRCC yesterday! I know you would be very upset.
So let me estimate again,
You should hear from IRCC in 6 months! I know you would be very disappointed.

So does my estimate matter to your application? Absolutely not
So does other people's estimate matter to your application? Absolutely not.
Do you still want to know the estimate? I am not sure...:p

Be patient. Your case will be moved along when time is right.

Hi All, I think this will be a Good News for those who are waiting for file transfer from CIO Sydney.
I have submitted my Application : Dec 6th 2018. Sponsorship Approval : 19th Feb 2019, Medical Passed : 25th Feb 2019 till then my file has not been transfered from CIO Sydney.
But today my Background status changed to : We are Processing your Background check
That means they are processing our applications in Sydney itself without transfer.
Do anyone got this update. Thought it will helps in relieving some stress in the waiting game.
