It is not true any more. Ottawa is responsible for re-entry visa and immigration visas for all people residing in Canada.bkd1969 said:it will not happen like that. per law, PPR should be initiated by VO outside of Canada. Ottawa cannot ask you for PPR. So, most likely, VO in USA will send your email to request passport. Before this PPR, you may receive email from Ottawa that indicates your file is transferred to New York, for example. Then, after another two months or longer, depending how efficient NYVO is, you will get PPR. Be prepared for this long process. What you can pray is that you get email from Ottawa telling you your file is sent to US VO earlier rather than later. That is the step needed to be done before PPR.
So, PPR will come from Ottawa.
