Hi guys,

I received a request letter this morning like this:

We note that your passport has expired on 2018/01/06. Please send a copy of a passport that currently has a validity date beyond 3 months.

Your visa cannot be issued until receipt of the requested copy of a valid passport.

Please note: Do not submit original passports until IRCC requests them. There are three ways to submit the requested information/documents. For instant email updates and more detailed, up-to-date case status, create an online account. Find out how: Link your paper application to your online account 1. You may upload the requested information/documents to your MyCIC account. 2. You may send the requested information/document(s) or any questions regarding your application via the Case Specific Enquiry form at the following link: https://secure.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/canada-case-cas-eng.aspx 3.

This is not the regular PPR letter right? just a letter to request additional info/document? Doesn't mean my application is approved?

It can be that they are asking for new passport so they can approve your application and send you PPR.

Any idea how long does it take after they receive my new passport info? Submitted right away after i got the request this morning. Hope they didn't take months to resume processing on my case, which is already 33 months.

My friend I wish I knew, I'm August 2015 applicant and still waiting,34 months for now
 
In the Activity part, do you see any activity about "Security" or "Security Screening"?
Dont know why they started this emdical extension policy. This was started in 2012 to avoid delay on applications but now medical extension always delays the file. Instead of medical extension they should ask for new one.
