Got a question on passport submission to cpc ottawa:
It looks like the NDVO PPR letter (or could be others too) says that if you are in Canada and intend to stay there for atleast 3 months, then you may send your passport to CPC Ottawa.
Exact wording - Submitting your passport(s) in Canada (CPC-O)
If you have a mailing address in Canada and if you and all the accompanying dependents on your application are currently in Canada and plan to be in Canada for at least three months, you may submit your passport(s) to the Case Processing Centre – Ottawa.
You are required to send your document(s) together along with a copy of this letter by mail or courier to the following address with the additional following document:
· A self-addressed, pre-paid Xpresspost envelope from Canada Post.
In our case, my spouse is currently in Canada on visitor visa, joined me on 30th May. He can stay utpo 6 months but we have return booked for July 28th. We have informed NDVO about visit to canada(forgot to add return date though), phone numbers and contact address when he arrived.
The request for passport will probably be coming tomorow or next week.
My question is that since my spouse is not staying in canada for atleast 3 months since 30th May, can we send the passport to ottawa instead of going to India to submit passport. Please advise.
Our main concern is that if CPC Ottawa does not stamp here then we will probably be refused for not submitting passport in time? Don't want to mess up atlast step.
Thanks!
