PPR = Approved?

[artray]

Hifi guys! I got PPR on 31st May and NDVO is my visa office. However I have requested the visa stamping to be in Singapore as i cant travel to India right now. Really worried whether asking for VO change at this stage will be a problem!! First of all, will it be approved before the deadline for passport submission?? Please share your experiences and what steps you took for VO change (CSE or email to embassy or any other method?) Many thanks!!

Hi Neela, From everything I have heard and read - asking for VO change will not impact your PR except for a further delay because you have to wait for NDVO to confirm your VO change request. A VFS office will only handle your passport for PR stamping if that VFS office is mentioned in your PPR - in this case only Indian VFS offices are allowed to transfer your passport till you get a new letter confirming your change of VO to Singapore. Two things you can do to request change - email NDVO and lodge a CSE (the email is usually what works, but did both just to be safe). Also, your deadline gets extended by another 30 days from the day your VO change is confirmed and you receive new PPR with new VO. Hope this answers your questions Cheers!

Thank you so much artray!! Like you suggested, I've done both. Emailed DELHI-IMMIGRATION@international.gc.ca as well as created a CSE, just so it's in the main CIC's records. Should I try calling NDVO or fax them ? It's already been a week since I sent the email Hence a bit worried as the current PPR letter gives the deadline as 29th June. May I know how long do they take to respond? The automated reply to my email says a response will be given within 30 days
Thanks again!!

The average time of response is 9 working days to 20 working days (excludes weekends). The deadline expiring on your current PPR is not a concern, because the ball is in their court now All you can do is wait and maybe send a follow-up email + fax after 10 working days are up (2 full weeks). Cheers!
