Should I be paying under family class? I've copied a section below.

Family member of the principal applicant who is under 19 years of age, unmarried and not in a common-law relationship OR is 19 years of age or older who has been unable to be financially self-supporting since before the age of 19 due to a physical or mental condition $150.00

??
You can. After getting the receipt, just mention your particulars on the receipt before sending them.

Hello all,

I hope to receive PPR shortly, as my ECAS status shows decision made! Ideally I want to land in the first week of July, and if that doesn't happen I may need to postpone by several months. It seems that I will be cutting it fine, as Abu Dhabi VO generally takes 3-4 weeks to send back stamped passports.

For those who have received PPR emails to send passports to Abu Dhabi VO, can you kindly copy/paste the text of the email. Is Aramex the only option, or can I use DHL or Fedex as I feel they are faster / more reliable. Also can you share what exactly I need to tell the courier, so there is no confusion? I live in Doha.

Send an email to LVO to check the status of your application. The abbreviations mentioned in the signature will most likely will be your visa officer.

It can be anybody's expiry date. Suppose if one of ur dependent passports expiress in 6 months everybody's visa validity will be 6 months then

If you had not submitted PCC with the application then it means to start processing and check the background the VO needed PCC. If you will submit the PCC now then you will receive MR and RPRF without PCC request.
