Okay guys, so the wait is over. Immediately out of bed I checked my email and Oh My God!! My reaction was like
At first I couldn't believe it, is it real. Took me some time to digest the fact that PPR it is
Now that I've settled down, let me give some details about the mail. No activity on the CIC account, no attachment with the email. They've mentioned the application number and UCI number (for the primary application only). The email was sent from
IRCC.CPCO-FinalRequest-CTDO-DemandeFinale.IRCC@cic.gc.ca address (I advice those waiting for PPR to add this email address to your contact list so the email doesn't land up in junk) It simply has the steps to submit the passport at the local VFS centre (Pune for me). It has the standard PDF link for photograph requirements etc.
What a journey it has been which started in Feb of 2016 with the IELTS exam. Though I was late in joining this group but I've received some really great advice from the veterans, so I'd like to thank every one. Those waiting for PPR, please don't loose hope. Being positive helps!
Now some celebrations. "Chalo hunn chaliye" ("Let's go" in Punjabi)
Updated timeline is in the signature.
