I received PPR on Dec 31 from CPC-Ottawa. Outland applicant based in US but indian passport holder. I am currently in Canada on TRV and will submit my passport from Canada. Given COVID, does anyone know if I should request signature on delivery of my passport to CPC-Ottawa? Given it's a PO box address, not sure if signature on delivery is necessary?
It is up to you. Signature gives you a record of when it was delivered and a bit more certainty.

Note that not all po boxes will give signature but I believe usually will.

Thanks for the quick response! So Canada Post and CPC still do signature on delivery during COVID?

Another question: as I am in Canada on TRV, would i still get a permanent residence visa in my passport and have to re-enter Canada? I read somewhere that they can go straight to virtual landing without me having to re-enter?

Sometimes they have simply written something like covid instead of getting physical signature. But still serves as confirmation of receipt.

It seems now they are mostly doing the virtual landing with no need to depart and return.

Working on the two-way passport process lined out by VFS Global. Just wondering if the consent form and the courier form can be filled by hand (black or blue pen)? Request someone to help me with this.

To add to what @armoured said, all inland app landings are virtual right now. The practice of leaving and returning is called "Flag poling" which they are not allowing at this time.
