Hello guys,


I need your advice on an issue.


The problem is my passport has less than 6 months validity (about 5 month and 26 days to be exact) and I know for most visa applications your passport should be valid for 6 months or more. Problem is I've been on IP2 for some time now or and my fear is if I go and renew my passport now PPR mail might drop anytime.

So my question is should I send my passport like that if PPR mail drops or should I try to renew it before the PPR mail drops, also it takes about a week or more to renew my passport. Does it really matter if one's passport has less than 6 months validity? Will visa office stamp on a passport with less than 6 months validity?


Also, I definitely intend to travel before the expiry of my passport or expected visa expiry date.

PPR mail clearly states to have valid PP until 1year...suggest to get ur PP renewed so that u may submitt ur old and new PP together for stamping...

Guys lil help here plz. i received my rprf req on 14th of june, i submitted it in 2 days. but still till this date the status is like, the additional documents which u have sent us are being reviewed. is it normal?????????????

This is normal. 2 days is too short a timeline for you to expect a change Wait some more, ideally your status should change to IP2 soon.

I agree with you my friend, but he is 38 days in IP1 not IP2!!!!, and for May people medicals pass was in 30-40 days, in April it was normal for everyone to get medicals in 60 days so that is understandable.
All he wants is just NA in Background, no IP2, no PPR, I think that is being very very patient. He is not even sure if his R10 is passed as yet, that is not normal my dear. I applaud his patience

As a veteran.... I do respect you view I will however disagree... each application is different and again the time frame is 6mths.... I have been in ip2 since July 12... still no ppr. Trends show persons getting their ppr in a matter of days... weeks later I am still here... application is not even approved... all I am saying is I understand the anxiety but we have to continue to be patient as it falls with the processing time that we were told

 

[wareskhan]

Seems that you already sent your passport for stamping am i right?if thats the case then its upto courier,a day to 3 at max in most cases

Yes, i submitted it already, on July 23rd. Today my cic account showed this change. So now it totally depends on the courier service?

There are cases where IP2 guys kept on waiting for the PPR. Later on during a call with CIC, they came to know that email was sent, but it never reached to them.

There are the cases, where PPR email was sent to some different email ID (which was used by an applicant way back in their life like during student visa or something like of that)

Hence, just waiting patiently on IP2 does not make sense.

Such a wonderful news @the_nick24!!! HUGE congratulations!! Yeah, I received my stamped passport yesterday!! So many posts to catch up I was totally off the internet last week. Left my job and was swept into shifting!! I think I need a cup of coffee while going through all these messages

You clearly missed the point there dear. The said person is not being impatient because of not getting a PPR or IP2, like rest of the lot!!!!!!!!!!!
He simply wants his IP1 to be over and know that he passed R10 thats all, his patience is commendable and he has every right to be impatient if he is! I have seen people getting impatient for PPR even knowing that their applications are approved and I support them also. If so was the case why every day we are discussing timelines daily and wanting updates etc. let's wait for 6 months and catch up later eh? Still we have the 80% loophole.
He might even be worried about a possible rejection here due to a long IP1 as it happens in some cases, we cannot assume what his condition is here, maximum rejections happen due to missing PCCs and he is not out of woods in even that one.

Ofcourse each application is different, and ofcourse we know the "6 month thing" and also that also applies to only 80% of cases, so CIC can never be questioned ever in that way. I am not here to defend CIC. If anyone is patient enough to wait 6-8 months happily without questioning, i admire them. But it is natural to worry, like i said you passed medicals when everyone else was passing at 60 days, what if you haven't passed it till date? Wouldn't you be worried my friend that something is not normal as all other files passed the medical way before yours? If not I say you are a saint and hats off, but most of us will be my dear. This is what the issue is here.
You are in IP2 waiting and there are many others here to accompany you as we are seeing a delay in PPRs these days, the said person is all alone in there, it is difficult. I think its each to their own and everyone has a right to express themselves here.

Also If someone has to wait 150 days to get PPR, yes its sad and unfortunate, but it does not mean we should look down upon people getting bit worried at fewer days, they have their own set of timelines to compare and own circumstances, I support everyone here and have never told off anyone even on 30 days also that you are impatient, maybe that person is new to the process and is scared seeing others at 30 days getting PPR, you never know! Let's not judge i say. If CIC had hard and fast timeline of 6 months everyone including the most impatient soul would wait quietly then

Congratulations dear

Thank you @Realme

@johnsyk or anyone : Please make thread where we can discuss after PPR issues; specially settlement, housing, opening bank account, job and others
My suggestion for thread title is
<<<<<FSW Outland - 2017 PPR- Lets Connect Here>>>>>

Yes, this platform gives us forums like 'Settlement in Canada', but it seems less active than 'Express Entry / Expression of Interest'. If we have thread in Express Entry forum, I am sure it would be more helpful.

After how many days of submitting passport to visa office(singaporr) can we expect CoPR?

 

[gurik]

@simran.001 You can probably write to Ottawa seeking an update on your application in a prescribed format. Many applicants, who did it in the past, happened to notice positive results soon after. The email ID of Ottawa and email's format could be found out in the previous messages of this thread.

@gurik & @KiranK Please see if you can suggest any better course of action here. Thanks.

I think NDVO does not responds to queries much, still you can try contacting them.

 

[gurik]

@KiranK and @gurik : Did you notice this thing that

Final decision says: It is approved. See below messages.........but actually no new message is there in the portal??

Yes, it means your PP is stamped and CoPR is issued.
Also there were no messages for me as well. Its normal.

 

[gurik]

@gurik & @KiranK, I finally received my stamped PP and CoPR on 2 August 2017 !

Congrats naveen!!!
