And so ends the long wait :)

A few days ago, I posted a question saying I had received the PPR with a 30 day deadline but I had travel plans already booked. I decided to have my cake and eat it too by making a last minute trip to Detroit. Actually, I stayed in Windsor and my visa-exempt wife took our passports to Detroit and got them stamped the same day. This is only done on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We were there on Thursday, and it was the last possible day we could do it before our trip. Needless to say, we were very nervous but all's well that ends well.

According to them, any adult applicant (not necessarily principal applicant) can submit all the passports. If you want a non-applicant family member or friend to do it on your behalf, it's a bit more shaky. In that case, fill out the CIC Use of a Rep. form.

Timeline:
Mar 2011: applied to SINP (student stream M.Sc/Ph.D)
Mar 2012: received nomination (SINP made errors that caused delays - always follow up by phone)
Apr 2012: applied to Fed Govt
June 2012: received AOR, did medicals
Oct 2012: received request for more documents
Nov 2012: sent off the documents
Dec 2012: PPR
Dec 2012: got PR visa

Congrats jokulhaup. That timeline is very fast. Makes me hopeful.

If you don't mind could you please share what additional documents did CIC ask you to send?
