What was the format of your PPR ... ready for visa mail ? Kindly share ... i got update in my CIC account in form of ‘Information Letter’ in following format
The letter states the following:
The processing of your application for permanent residence in Canada is now complete. You must complete the following steps within 7 days in order for your Confirmation of Permanent Residence to be issued.
The Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship (IRCC) office responsible for issuing you a Confirmation of Permanent Residence will contact you shortly to arrange an appointment for your landing.

STEP 1: UPDATE YOUR APPLICATION
If any of the following conditions apply, you must inform us immediately via e-mail to: CIC-OTTAWA-IMMIGRATION@cic.gc.ca.
 Marriage or common-law union, divorce, annulment, legal separation;
 Death of the sponsor, the principal applicant or any accompanying family member;
 Birth or adoption of a child, including grandchildren born to dependent children;
 You, the principal applicant, or any of your family members have been charged or convicted of a criminal offence.

STEP 2: CONFIRM YOUR PLACE OF RESIDENCE
If you and all family members included in the application are in Canada, you are not required to submit your passports or apply for an authorization to enter the country. The IRCC office responsible for issuing your Confirmation of Permanent Residence will contact you to make an appointment to finalize your application. If you and/or your family members are NOT currently residing in Canada, you need to advise us of your current place of residence as this may impact the issuing procedures of your Confirmation of Permanent Residence and/or visa. Please advise us immediately by e-mail to: CIC-OTTAWA-IMMIGRATION@cic.gc.ca
***Please note that Confirmation of Permanent Residence and permanent residence visas cannot be issued to holders of Diplomatic, Official or Military passports. You must have an ordinary passport.***

STEP 3: PREPARE YOUR DOCUMENTS
When you receive communication from the responsible IRCC office for your appointment, please make sure to bring the following documents:
1. Original Passport(s) for all people included in the application.
2. Two (2) photos of yourself and of each accompanying family member. See our specifications at: www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/pdf/5445EB-e.pdf

Hello. I am sponsoring my wife and in our ECAS shows that a letter has been sent to her. The status still shows "in process" just wondering if the letter goes out first before they change the status from "in process" to "DM" Was your status changed when you saw cic had sent the letter?

I got the information letter as well with the same content and I have nothing new to update on my application so I am just waiting. I am an inland FSW applicant.

How long its taking you guys to get an update from the Visa Office. My letter only specifies

“you are not required to submit your passports or apply for an authorization to enter the country. The IRCC office responsible for issuing your Confirmation of Permanent Residence will contact you to make an appointment to finalize yourapplication”

Whats the timeline between receiving this letter and actually being contacted by IRCC official?

Thank you!

I found out the letter was an appointment for an interview later in the July. It basically said "in order to continue to process.your application for permanent residence an interview is required....yadda yadda yadda. So my sponsored fiancee has an interview at the VO handling our case. If anyone has been through this before any insight would be great!

Sorry, I did not understand, your letter had appointment details in the letter? Because mine does not have any appointment details. Also, I am in an inland application and currently living and working in Canada so it might be different for me vs. somebody outside the country.

I have a letter saying my appointment is on Saturday in Ottawa. Can anyone tell me if the office is open on Saturday?

 

[tarun27in]

I received the same letter (same agent) around the same time frame as an outland applicant. Did you get your appointment already?

No, I am still waiting for my appointment. I called CIC yesterday and the agent told me that everything looks approved but there is no further update on the application and there are no additional notes as well. She also said that 6 weeks are their normal waiting period which I have already passed and she is going to send a note to VO to move this file or update the status on the application. That may take another 30 days Not sure what is happening and why is there so much delay.

What about you? did you get the appointment?

 

[tarun27in]

I received my landing appointment yesterday. I believe my call to the agent and her internal note to the office triggered something because I got an invitation within a week of my call to CIC customer support. I will do my landing in the Etobicoke office this week.

 

[tarun27in]

Update: I did my landing at Etobicoke with no issues. It was smooth and we were done in like 15 minutes. Now waiting for PR cards.

Hi All,
Added spouse in Jan 2019 to my existing Ontario PNP PR application.
I got the same letter on Aug 15th. On Sep 3rd I received an interview appointment letter for Sep 9th at Etobicoke. I received my COPR on the same day.
My spouse lives in India and yet to receive PPR.
Any idea how long would it take for them to ask for Passport after sending the information letter? Its been more than 4 weeks now.
Thanks
