Thanks calgary2010 for pointing to the correct post.

Since the email did not mention about height and eye color either, I am going to call them tomorrow for these clarifications before sending the PPs.

They have in-person stamping too on Thursdays, but the PP can be collected only after 7 days. So that would not be a good option for me, since I am in FL.

Folks waiting for PPR - just hang there. everyone will have their good news soon.

Congrats Yojo. You called this Tuesday a good day!
VAtoCA posted about the photo requirements on January 24, 2011, 04:25:31 pm.
Also you should consider the in-person stamping as its taking a month or so, might be Seatle is quicker. Good Luck :)

Hi Everyone,

Good News !!! I got PPR request by email today from Seattle.

They have asked to submit the passports within 30 days, along with RPRF. I have to do landing before Aug 5th, 2011.

I have some questions for senior members who already got PPR -

1) The email does not specify anything regarding photos. Do we have to send those anyways ?
2) Details regarding postage by USPS. Which type is better ? How to send the pre-paid envelope (is it with stamps or with the pre-paid sticker) ?
Expecting a reply soon.
Thanks.
Congrats and glad to see some moment. Below are my experience regarding your questions.

1. Yes, you need to sent 2 photos. Below are specification from my email:

"ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE ENCLOSED TWO PICTURES FOR EVERYONE IN YOUR FAMILY. The photographs must be unblemished as they will be used to produce your Permanent Resident Card once you are in Canada. The requirements are as follows:

•DIMENSIONS - 35mm x 45mm (1 3/8" x 1 3/4") finished size. Show a full front view of the person's
head and shoulders showing full face centred in the middle of the photograph. Measure between 25 mm
and 30 mm (1" and 1 3/8") from chin to crown

•BACKGROUND - be clear, well-defined and taken against a plain white background without shadows

•COLOUR - photograph can be in black and white, or colour

•CONDITION - no creases or staple holes should mar the face of the person. Facial features should be visible

•AGE OF PHOTO - 1. Within 6 months; 2. Bear the date the photo was taken (not the date the photo was printed) directly on the back of one print (stick-on labels are not acceptable)

•PHOTO PAPER - 1. Produced from the same unretouched film or from the same file capturing the digital image or from two identical photos exposed simultaneously by a split-image or multi-lens camera; 2. On photographic paper that has a backing which accepts and retains the date without smearing. Photos without this backing are not acceptable; 3. On prints that are well-fixed and washed to prevent fading and discolouration

•IMPORTANT - must be original photo (not taken from any existing photo)"

2. I bought a prepaid USPS express mail envelope with tracking number and put it inside my envelope along with Passport. The Post office will take care of this. After after two weeks I saw on tracking that my passport was mailed.

Congrats Yojo, good to see PPR from Detroit. Did they request you for any additional documents since your file was transferred? If they are sending PPR's based on medicals i should be next too...

Pls keep us posted as we move forward.

I don't think they have a ph no to answer calls...your best bet would be to send case specific inquiry.

King80,

Thanks

Hi,
Rightly said. I don't know what the ........... they are doing at NY. In my case also, i can't even move in my career because of this. I am completeing my H1B 5 years in July. I was thinking not to apply for GC putting my hopes on this so called fast process of PNP. Now i am like should i wait for PPR and not apply GC. If something happens i will not be able to file my GC since i will be completing 5 years in July and attorney need to file latest in march if i want to. On top of that my company is not filing GC any more, so i will have to pay this attorney to file through some consulting company as future employee.

Anyways i didn't intended to write all this here.... it came out of frustration.

Good luck and big hopes to NY guys.

Hey King80:

Thanks for the update bro. Me and kevintech are still waiting for close to 3 months and till now there is no update. No update on e-cas nothing. His was transferred on Dec 14 and mine on Dec 2, Ahhh not sure how long it is gonna take to get ppr. And not to mention again a month of waiting to get the PP back with the visa.

Does any one know what does "in queue for a selection decision imply". ""venksm"" got this in reply from NY office in response to his query. Does it mean that the back ground check is completed and interview is waived. Good luck guys.

Yeah pretty much its the case for you, forget for about a month or so. Even we are not sure how long are we gonna wait. And to your surprise, Avalap in this forum has been waiting since Oct 26.

Our e-cas shows in process, no sign of medical received. Its not important to see medicals received, doesnt make a difference. Avalap has been seeing it for the past 2 months.

Any idea what "in queue for selection decision" could mean. Does it mean B.check done and interview waived??
