I'm the secondary applicant for me my medical will expire in August next year but for primary applicant it will be November. So what will be considered here?

And is soft landing allowed now?
Mostly it goes with primary applicant. In most cases entire family gives medicals together, so I am not 100% sure.
Soft landing can be done. But, it takes more than 2 months to get PR card. You need to give an address in Canada for PR card delivery in your absence. Someone reliable.
Without PR card you cannot reenter Canada. However, I heard you can apply for travel document for single entry later in india to enter Canada. Again, you need to give enough proof on why you left Canada without PR card, why you want to return etc. I am. Not 100% sure.
I have seen people leaving Canada for some family emergency before getting PR card, however they use that emergency situation as reason to travel without PR card. Medical certificate etc.

Hello @legalfalcon

I have recently received the ready-for-visa email, but this does not reflect on my account.
I have a few questions:

Is this the final step or any other step is required after submitting this?
Is the Proof of fund will be asked after the arrival there?
Here I can see that - Photo is required and passports are asked is there anything I am missing out?

Please help: Below is the email

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. If for any reason you are not able to meet this deadline, please inform our immediately via the IRCC Web Form: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/contacts/web-form.asp with details concerning your situation.

STEP 1: Change in Circumstances:
Should any of the following circumstances apply to you or any accompanying family member, you must inform this office immediately:
  • Change in marital status, for example due to marriage, divorce, legal separation, annulment or death of spouse;
  • Change in family composition, for example due to adoption or birth of a child, including a child born to your accompanying dependent child,
  • Death of principal applicant, spouse, accompanying children, or death of sponsoring relative;
  • Change in health;
  • You or any of your accompanying family members being charged or convicted of a criminal offence
  • Change in contact information: mailing address, e-mail address, or telephone number.

Your failure to inform us of any of these changes may result in the cancellation of your permanent resident visa and may render you and your accompanying family members inadmissible to Canada. In addition, failure to declare all of your family members, accompanying or not, will permanently exclude them from sponsorship under the Family Class regulations.

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

Determine whether you need a visa or an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) to travel to Canada at: www.cic.gc.ca/ENGLISH/visit/visas.asp

  1. If your passport is from a country whose citizens need a visa to travel to Canada, you will need to submit original passport(s) for you and each accompanying family member. Your passport(s) should be valid for at least 6 months and have at least two blank pages. If a child is included on your passport, you must have one blank page per accompanying child.

Please note that you STILL need to submit your passport(s) even if:

  • You or your accompanying family members have a valid Canadian temporary residence visa or permit.
  • You or your accompanying family members are permanent residents of the U.S.A and holder of passport(s) from countries whose citizens need a visa to travel to Canada.

Note: All passports must be intact and not worn, torn or otherwise damaged; the laminate on the bio-data page must be securely attached. Each page must be securely affixed to the passport; there cannot be any loose pages.

  1. If your passport is from a country whose citizens need an eTA to travel to Canada or your passport is from the United States, you will need to submit one photocopy of the photo page and any pages containing amendments of the passport for you and each accompanying family member (Note: any accompanying family member whose passport does require a visa however, will need to submit their original passport as per Step 2a). Your passport(s) should be valid for at least 6 months. Please do not send your original passport(s).

*** Please note that Confirmation of Permanent Residence and permanent resident visas cannot be issued on Diplomatic, Official or Military passports or travel documents. You must provide an ordinary passport. ***


STEP 3: PREPARE YOUR DOCUMENTS

You must submit together:

1. One copy of this letter.

2. Passport(s) OR photocopy(ies) of passport(s), as explained in Step 2.

3. Two (2) photos of yourself and of each accompanying family member. Photos MUST meet the precise specifications found in the link below or in Appendix A at the end of this letter. If you submit photos that do not meet the exact specifications, your package will be returned to you (www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/pdf/5445EB-e.pdf)

All required documents must be submitted in one single package.

A) To submit your package while overseas:

Please submit your package to the nearest Visa Application Centre along with the VAC Passport Transmission fee
.

For Passport Transmission instructions and fee details, please visit:
For those residing in Latin America. The United States, and the Caribbean please visit:


B) If you are currently in Canada:
You are not required to submit your passport and will be landed virtually. Please advise our office via webform within 5 days of receipt of this letter if you and/or any of your dependents are in Canada. Please include each person’s name/UCI and where they are currently staying/residing (in Canada or overseas).
NOTE: Permanent Resident document(s) Validity

The issuance of your Permanent Resident document(s) is time sensitive so it is important for you to submit your passport(s) as requested.

Once you receive your Permanent Resident document(s), please verify the information on it is correct. If there are any errors, such as incorrect spelling of name or incorrect date of birth, please inform our via the IRCC Web Form: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/contacts/web-form.asp immediately. Your name will appear in the same format as it appears in your passport.

Your Permanent Resident document(s) will expire one year after the date of your medical examinations or earlier if your passport or the passports of your spouse or dependent children (if applicable) expire on an earlier date.

You must travel to Canada and present your immigration documents at a Canadian Port of Entry before they expire. The validity of the Permanent Resident documents cannot be extended. If you fail to enter Canada before this date and still wish to immigrate to Canada, you must 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 would be successful.




We are looking forward to receiving your package within 30 days to conclude your application for permanent residence in Canada.

Sincerely,

Immigration Section

PS: THIS IS A VALID COMPUTER GENERATED LETTER AND DOES NOT REQUIRE ANY SIGNATURE.

Is this the final step or any other step is required after submitting this?
YEs.

Is the Proof of fund will be asked after the arrival there?
YEs - You can use the same documents you sent to IRCC, a combination of funds you are carrying and the back statements from your country, or get new documents similar to the ones you submitted. All of these can be used to meet the PoF at the port of entry if asked.

Here I can see that - Photo is required and passports are asked is there anything I am missing out?
Follow the instructions, and wait for your passport, visa and COPR.

All the best!

The medical result which will expire earlier will determine the validity of the issued visa.

Soft-landing is not forbidden but it is not recommended by Canadian government as well. You need to be well-planned ahead to ensure everything of the landing process will go smoothly.

Hi GUYS,
I just got rfv letter for my overseas dependent spouse. It states that a passport should only be submitted after I, the principal applicant have landed. I stay in Canada and I have to wait for the landing from the Etobicoke office.
Also, I realized the passport validity must be 6 months and more.
my spouse's passport validity is currently 8 months. is it possible I will be landed soon virtually so he can submit his passport?
I really don't want us to start renewing his passport now because passport renewal in my home country is very stressful.
should I send an email to Etobicoke landing telling them of 8 months visa validity and for landing to be done for me?

please kindly advise

@legalfalcon hope you are well.
Just need your info regarding 2 years of stay in 5 years to maintain PR status. I initially landed in May 2022 for 2 weeks, now in July 2024 I am going to move there permanently. My PR cards are valid till June 2027. In this case am I eligible to retain my PR status?
Will I be able to renew my PR card so that I will complete my 3 years and apply for citizenship?

Exactly the same here. According to the GCMS notes, there have been no updates or activity from the Ottawa office since February 2020. My AOR is November 2019 for the Federal Skilled Trades Program. Could you please share which program you're referring to? Thank you. doramasqueen
