If you are a resident of the US, you can travel to Canada and land as a PR. Once done, you can then apply for SIN online, and OHIP and Driver's licences at Service Ontario. You can do these online. The service times are longer than usual due to COVID, but not too significant and will depend on the location where you are at. Driver's license is is usually granted immediately if you are converting it from a US license to a Canadian license.

You will need a Canadian address where OHIP will be shipped and a proof of address.

Understood. Thanks for your pointers. Few more points. This is what I see applicable to me for travel from IRCC (https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/coronavirus-covid19/immigration-applicants.html#approved):

You must also

• be coming to Canada to settle permanently (you cannot come to Canada and leave to go live in another country, even if it’s temporary) and
• show you’re able to quarantine for 14 days

By the virtual landing website (https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/pr-confirmation-portal.html), there is mention of obtaining PR card within a week. I don't know how real that promise is.
Question: If I leave after 15 days of arrival (14 days of quarantine + 1 day), can IRCC revoke the card? I don't understand language of "you cannot come to Canada and leave to go live in another country, even if it’s temporary". I intend to leave back for USA once PR card is issued.

This is where my question lies, what are the consequences of doing this?

The average processing time for PR card is 45 days to 2-3 months. So not sure how you got the info of getting a PR card within a week.

There is nothing stopping you from retuning back to the US and once your are a PR, your PR status cannot be revoked unless it is for a reason defined in the law. The language of these restrictions is ambitious and there is a lot of room for interpretation.

I’m contemplating about the same. My case as per GCMS notes is approved in March 2020. As of now, I have not got any re medical request. We are actually in USA, but now my wife and kid are in India for vacation.

Medical is cheaper to do in India as compared to USA. What is the process to do medical without IRCC asking for it? What documents are needed. If you have done medical recently, can you pls guide on the process.

I got it done from mumbai lilavati hospital.Take a prior appointment over phone. Take your ITA and passport along. Fee is around Rs4500 per person.

By the time they start issuing PPR after restriction, peoples PCC, medical/remedical extension, ielts must have expired. I hope we wont be asked to renew all these before PPR...

@legalfalcon

All documents such as IELTS, ECA, PCC etc. have to be valid as on the date the application is filed. Only your medicals have to be valid when you file as well as when you land. If your meds expire, IRCC will send them for reassessment and the regional medical officer will make a determination on whether to ask for a remed or give extension. As regards PCC, IRCC can ask for additional or more update PCCs on a case by case basis.

We received our Passport Request email in November 2020, but before that, we had a new family member. And by the time, the baby's passport was ready, it was early December 2020. I raised a webform sharing our updates and requesting more time to submit our passport since we have a new baby. After submitting a copy of the baby's passport and medical, it has gone silent. But now, my cic profile has the baby as a dependent, which is great. We are still waiting for the new passport request.
Another webform was sent asking if we could use the same Passport Request number. Again no answer. could i use the same PPR (Nov2020) to submit our passports including the newborn's?

What your thoughts and how could I move forward?

Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone,

I too am a November 2019 AOR applicant (FSW-O) who is still waiting for his PPR. My passport is expiring in December this year and I am considering getting it renewed right now. Is it OK to provide IRCC the new passport information through a web form? Should I just submit the scans of all relevant pages once I get the new one?

Thanks!

To add a new family member, if you have sent the forms, documents, then after the new family member is assessed for medical inadmissibility (since new borns are not subject to criminality and security), you will get a new passport request for all family members including the new born.

It can take 2-4 months. Also, can send a webform and find if a decision has been made, or see your GCMS notes.

It could also be a case where a decision has been made but a PPR has not been sent.

Yes Please renew your passport at the earliest and once you receive renewed passport then you can send new passport to IRCC through web form.
I did the same in my case. In this way they will touch your file at least and may give some positive benefit. While sending through web form, consider the following -
- Copy of Expired Passport (First Page, Last Page and all non-blank pages)
- Copy of Renewed Passport (First Page and Last Page)

They all got remed request previously. I m confused whether they will issue ppr without remed or not. If not then we have a long way to go!
At least for me, as I didn’t get even a single update in my profile after dec 19, 2019, which is the biometric date.
