Thank you for the explanation, I'd never heard what happens in that case, so it makes more sense now.Quink said:You get a request to send in a photocopy of your passport rather than the actual passport itself. You also have to send two photos, a copy of the email they send, and a return express post envelope. Then they mail you a COPR letter which you take to the border to activate your PR status.
P.S. congrats Bpatel, I know its been a long time in waiting for you. Best of luck.
