Is the principal applicant Indian? I don't know why I've seen so many files with Indian applicants waiting for PPR after DM especially from Ottawa.
Has anyone here emailed their relevant visa office regarding PPR after receiving DM and waiting for several weeks or months? Did the VO respond and issue a PPR immediately? Wondering what's causing the delays between DM and PPR for some applicants...
Nope I'm the principle applicant from USA. We reached out the MP about two weeks ago and are waiting on a follow up from them
You should try writing to the visa office as well. This wait between PPR and DM is extremely long and doesn't make sense...most MP's are useless, unfortunately, I hope yours can actually do something and help you out.
It's pretty obvious. The travel ban. They weren't even accepting passports to put stamps in them, hence not issuing PPRs.
Just announced a day or two that will be re-opening for passport stamping (i.e. PPRs) but it will take some time to clear the backlog.
I don't believe there's any other way to reach the Ottawa VO except a webform. We actually just heard back from the MP and you were right, they were useless. Anyone have suggestions?
I figured the MP would be useless owing to past experience. Send Ottawa VO a webform. What did the MP say exactly?
Can someone please clarify this for me?
My partner was unable to get his biometrics done in Ireland because the VAC was closed. It has since reopened operations and we received a letter from IRCC through our GCKey that he is now to get them done. He went in on June 18, 2021 and that is showing on our GCKey. My only confusion is that the IRCC correspondence told us we need to upload documents. Is that the boilerplate language or do we actually need to upload the biometrics documents once he's received them back? The VAC Centre said they would be done in 2-3 weeks but we have yet to receive anything from them and the deadline is tomorrow. As said, it's showing on our account as "Date of Biometrics Enrolment: June 18, 2021" but I'm just unsure if we need to upload anything. I'd like to know if I need to write a letter in lieu or if I have nothing to worry about and everything is above board.
Further, I just checked ECAS and it says Decision Made. I'm so confused!

If it shows your biometrics enrollment date, that's it, you don't need to do anything, it's been completed.
I did not see the language you referred to about uploading in your biometrics letter - I suspect it referred to something else.
If you're really paranoid you could upload via webform your biometrics receipt or chit, but again - if enrolled, it's done.
