Eduardo, you don't need it If you have the application in progress.

About your passport, there should be something in the website, I believe it is a complex, but fairly common situation.

Please double check, but I think it is logical to get the new passport in time for the PPR, and as soon as possible as permits are only issued for the duration of the passports, and they are not void if you get a new one, and in the meantime, you must plan ahead and apply for new permits to stay in Canada legally. Just updated CIC of your new document when you have it.

Now for the worst part, let's hope your new passport comes before they request it, or that the PPR comes soon, and you can explain the situation showing proof that you requested.

If they are not issuing passports and that is a stunt they are doing to pull people back to Venezuela, you better save proof that you requested it, and don't go back to Venezuela, because you may never come back, or at least for the next 3 years.

BTW, I found this, last answer in the thread has what you need (inside the quote box).

Thx for the advise... I have a friend planning to go back home to get the passports... I will share your recommendation.

cool! I am a September 18th applicant, I called them too after ghost update (Dec 18) and they said in progress. I guess we don't really know until we see DM. Good luck!
did you asked specifically about security check ?

I did yes, I asked the agent first, she said she can't see anything new and she went ahead to find the officer who was working on my file, she told me he told her "there's nothing new"...

really that's strange. Because i think most of people who got ghost update passed the security check.
I can be wrong. Is there anything new in your ECAS ?

  5. We sent you correspondence on April 5, 2018. If you have not yet provided the information or the requested documents, please do so as soon as possible. Please wait until you receive the correspondence before sending us additional information, as the correspondence will outline all information that is required.
  6. Medical results have been received.
  7. We sent you correspondence on May 1, 2018. If you have not yet provided the information or the requested documents, please do so as soon as possible. Please wait until you receive the correspondence before sending us additional information, as the correspondence will outline all information that is required.
I forgot to mention that I did get a second ghost update between Dec 18 and Jan 02 (not sure exact day) but never called after second ghost update. Maybe i should call and ask about that one.
