Thanks a lot Andy for looking into my post and replying on it.
I'll visit Canadian embassy of Sydney for help once I'll get the email for passport request.
Can you please tell me that how many days Immigration department gives to submit passport and can we extend this period.
I am asking this information because I have plan of returning to India in the month of July and If I'll have this information handy then I can plan accordingly.
Thanks
Here is some texts from the email body. At present I know that Visa stamping in india is taking ~ 1 week. so If you have that time, you can get it done while being there.

STEP 2: PASSPORT(S) REQUEST
We require a VALID passport for you and for each accompanying family member. Passports for you and all accompanying family members must be submitted together. There must be at least one blank visa page in each passport. If there are children included in your passport there must be blank visa pages for them as well.
Please note that permanent resident visas cannot be issued to holders of Diplomatic, Official or Military passports. You must obtain an ordinary passport.
If you or any of your family members are residing outside North America and you are unable to send your/their passport(s) to Canada and/or to provide a return mailing address in North America, contact us at CPC-CTD-Ottawa@cic.gc.ca so that we can make arrangements to print visas at another office.
The requested information/documents must be received in our office within
30 days from the date of this letter. Failure to do so could result in the refusal of your application.
Final Note
The issuance of your visa(s) cannot be delayed so it is important for you to submit your passport(s) as soon as possible. An expiration date (dd/mm/yy) will be indicated on your visa and/or on your Confirmation of Permanent Residence (CoPR – IMM 5688), and you must obtain permanent residence on or before that date.
The visas and CoPR cannot be extended. If you are not prepared to live permanently in Canada immediately after your permanent residence is granted, please consult the CIC website regarding your obligations to retain your status in Canada.
