My interview at Etobicoke was scheduled for today. I am happy to inform all that I finally got my PR. :)
Although the mail mentioned it as an interview, but it was nothing like one. It was landing actually. I am not sure why did I did not get the typical 'passport request' email for PPR and was directly called for Landing by IRCC Etobicoke.

But here is my new concern. I really hope that somebody from this forum would be able to help me out for this. :(

Usually people get the passport request email and passports are submitted for all the applicants (including dependents not in Canada right now).However, as mentioned I did not get this email and was directly called for landing interview.
How is my spouse who is in India currently going to get his Visa to enter Canada?
I do not have any PPR email based on which my spouse can submit his passport.

I called the IRCC helpline and inquired for same. However the lady did not seem to be too sure herself. She said you 'might' get it soon. She did not seem to be clear about this whole new process thing,

Please help!! Will I get a separate passport request mail for my spouse? Is there anything that I can do to followup?

Thanks in advance.
First of all congrats for becoming the PR.

You are the principal applicant, so you must have to get PR first then your dependents (wife , baby). You will be asked to submit your wife’s and kids medical and PCC within one month ( depends how busy the overseas visa office is), after submitting medical and PCC, your dependents application will turns DM. After DM you will get an email from The visa office to submit their passports.The whole process should not take more then 5 months.

Hope that helps.

Good luck.

As far as I know all inland refugees don't get a passport request as our passports are with IRCC, instead we go straight for a landing interview. As for your dependents I believe that after you land IRCC notifies the embassy to finalize your dependents papers.So I think that the Canadian embassy of your dependents' country of residence will get in touch with them anytime now. I hope other members correct me if I missed something. All the best!
