[jlyang]

Hello ,

Mine is similar situation, I got my PPR on 2nd April and the application status was not updated and still showing as In Progress.
Yesterday I checked my mail and they told me to send passport to nearest VFS office and also mentioned that within 30 days of receipt of this mail it should reach Delhi High commission. Today is 27 and saturday so Pune VFS is closed. I will submit on 29th then , will it be ok in this case
Also I am not sure weather this the exact mail for PPR, as there is no bar code in it. But they did mentioned UCI and Application number in it.

And mail starts as follows :

Hi! I'm not an expert, but based on the timeline since you mentioned you received your email on April 2 and will submit on April 29, it's not yet past the 30-day deadline.

Just email CPC Ottawa explaining your situation and request for an extension.

Just an update on my situation.

So on Saturday, I stumbled upon a thread here in the forum (I can't find it anymore but it was a thread on how to request an extension for PPR submission) and somewhere in the replies, one of the people mentioned that we should try to email CIC Ottawa as well, aside from sending a message via the CIC webform. So I decided to send an email to CIC Ottawa explaining my situation from the beginning and attaching the same files I attached in the webform.

CIC Ottawa replied to me today saying that they are granting me an extension to submit my passport. Thank God I saw that thread and emailed CIC Ottawa. T^T So now, I can freely travel on May 8 and submit my passport to the closest VAC office after I come back.

So anyone in the future in a similar situation, I suggest you just try to contact CIC and CIC Ottawa (do both) as soon as possible and explain your situation. They will understand if your reasons are legitimate and grant an extension.

Hi, COuld you share what email you are using, as I emailed Ottawa, and my email bounced back, saying I am not permitted to email this address. I am in similar situation and cannot submit my passport.
