I think European citizens don't need to send the passport physically, since they can enter Canada under ETA so they don't need an actual visa inserted. Not 100% sure though


I really hope so, but I am not sure. So that way it would work that they send me a final decision email that I print and bring with me when landing in Canada?
 
Hi there,

175 days from AOR June 1, 2018...

I am getting closer to the one year deadline from the medical exam, taken on February 4, 2018, so I would need to land in Canada before February 4, 2019, and I am still in IP1. The medical was taken that early because between February and June 2018 I applied and got rejected for a missing translation of a transcript, that's why I applied a second time with AOR in June.

Anyway, my question is about instructions for passport submission in order not to lose time when/if the PRR email arrives.

I am an Italian citizen, resident in Paraguay.

I don't know if they are going to ask me to send the passport to the Canadian Embassy in Rome or the one in Buenos Aires (there's no embassy in paraguay). I contacted both embassies in Rome and Buenos Aires but they don't know about my application, they both said everything is still handled in Canada.

I contacted people at https://www.vfsglobal.ca/Canada/argentina/ about guidelines for submission but they said they do not handle passport submission for permanent residents, only for other visas.

Does anybody have clear guidelines for submission? If it should be done with DHL, Fedex, etc... or where else.

Also, do you think going in person to give the passport at the embassy and explaining the short time left for landing in Canada will help avoid losing weeks of precious time of delivery to the embassy and back to me?

Thanks in advance... and fingers crossed for all...

Your submission instructions will come in the PPR email. As far as I remember, applicants from visa-exempt countries need to send the copies of their passport and the photos.
 
Friends,
I just received following email from CIC. But when I checked my application online, nothing had changed. BGC still says - Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start your background check.
Is this what we call ghost update?

Yep. But generally ghost updates don’t have email notifications. But expect a PPR today. Your AoR is in range for Montreal to work on and we heard two PPRs today.
