Outland! PPR received! While Visiting Canada

[Tigo Phil]

Hey guys,

I hope that someone could help me in this one... mostly people that have been in the same situation!

I just got a letter from my Visa office( Paris) and they ask me my passport copy and a couple of stuffs.

Happens, that I’m currently visiting my wife in Canada and they want me to submit this documents to my VO outside of Canada.

I think right now is too short to change my address, is there a chance of sending a letter attached to my documents asking them to send my COPR to Canada ?

Thanks in advance

There should be instructions in the letter you received that tells you where to send your documents if the applicant is currently in Canada. There should be an address for sending the passport to Ottawa instead. If not, then contact your VO through the webform and explain that you are in Canada currently. You will need to make sure you are going to be in Canada long enough to send the passport in and get it back with your COPR, as obviously you wouldn't be able to travel without the passport.

Hi PrincessCRV, first of all thanks for replying...

That’s the thing, I don’t have those instructions, they only tell me to send the documents to my visa office.

I don’t need to send my passport, only the copy of my passport.

But yeah, I thought about contacting my VO, through the email, I’m just a bit stressed about all of this and probably I’m making a huge problem where is something simple.

Thank you

Yes, just contact the VO through email or the webform and tell them the situation. I know of many people who were in Canada at the time and were able to send their documents to Ottawa instead. Don't stress. Really, it is all going to work out. You are so close to the finish line and you are almost done! You made it through the hard part. Congrats!

Thanks a lot, really !

What stress me the most is the 30 days that they give us to answer, cause in my head looks so short...
i don't know if they count my email as an answer( some people say that day take some days to answer)
There's nothing that says that we can do this and also there's nothing saying that we cannot do it... but i appreciate your help and i wish you the best to...

Good luck

Hello,

I’m gonna try to explain you my situation...
I’m from a Visa-exempt country so I came to visit my wife in Canada...
I received an email for my Visa office in Paris asking me to send them my passport copie and 3 more stuffs( not a big deal)... but as I’m here at the moment I didn’t know what to do and the most part of the people was saying stuffs like-“send to Ottawa, you’re not gonna have problems, they are smart enough to understand”... but I was a bit afraid of doing that and things would go wrong because I wasn’t completely convinced, this is something important and I admit that I was a bit stressed...

Here’s what I did... I sent an email (by: Webform) to my VO, asking to change my address and explaining my situation and they answer me 2 days later with an email plus a document attached telling me to send my documents to Ottawa if i’m in Canada at the moment...

I just advise people that are in the same situation, to let them know (I mean, sending an email to your Visa office outside of Canada by webform)...

I hope that this is gonna help...

Good luck
