Detroit timeline to stamp PR visa and return of passports

[Sai Charan]

Hi All

I applied in May 2011
Got PPR in March 2012
Passports reached Detriot VO on 5th Jul 012
e-CAS updated to "Decision Made" 11th Jul 2012

There was a 4 month delay in submission of Passports because I was back in my home country and here was no way I could send the passports, cos Courier companies refused to accept them and my passport also says "it is illegal to send the passports by post out of the country"

In the PPR letter I received there was no timeframe stipulated for submission of passports (see extract below)

Hope they did not reject my case for the delayed submission of Passports

What do you guys think are the chances of rejection????

BTW my medicals expire only in SEP 2012.

******This is the PPR Letter I received******
Dear Applicant:
Your application for permanent residence in Canada appears to be ready for visa issuance . Your permanent resident
visa can only be issued at our office in Detroit. It is not possible to have it printed at another office.
Based on the validity date of your medical examination results, your immigrant visa will be valid to SEPTEMBER
##, 2012, assuming that your passport(s) do not expire prior to that date. The visa expiry date cannot be extended. If you
fail to provide the passport(s), your application will be closed when the medical validity has expired. We encourage you to
submit your passport(s) as soon as possible to allow you adequate time to prepare for your move to Canada. If you allow your
visa(s) to expire without having entered Canada, you will be able to reapply for permanent residence in Canada, and a new
application and a new processing fee will be required. Any new application will be assessed according to the Canadian
Immigration Legislation in force at the time that the new application is filed. There is no guarantee a future application will
be successful.
Please submit the valid passports for you and all accompanying family members included in your application to the
Consulate address as indicated below. Please detach any expired passport(s) from the valid passport(s) that you send to our
office. Applicants who send their documents by mail must provide a return address in Canada or the United States to
which their passport(s) can be returned (see the ������¢���¯���¿���½���¯���¿���½Document Return Procedure������¢���¯���¿���½���¯���¿���½ page attached to this letter). If you do not
have a mailing address in Canada or the United States, you must deliver your passport(s) in person, Monday , Tuesday,
Thursday and Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 12 noon. Your passports will be ready for pick up in ten business days.

sorry to hear that, it mentioned on the document that if you don't handin your passport on time( usually one month), they will close your case. hopfully, they don't do that to you. good luck! all the best to you.

Is it a rule that passports be submitted in "One Month"?

I have seen the PPR for a few friends and it very clearly stated that the Passports be submitted within 30 days

But, in my PPR as you see there is not timeframe mentioned for submission of passports. It simply says as soon as possible.

But hey we can keep talking about it all day. What is destined to happen will eventually happen.

So, keeping my fingers crossed, praying and waiting now for the passports to come back.

Thanks
Sai
