OINP Outland.
Primary Applicant + Spouse.

I have below questions. Please give your valid inputs.
1. Is this PPR email?
2. if yes, will my Spouse get another email with her name?
3. can i use this email copy to raise request for two way courier to VFS via webform?
4. Which Visa category do i have to select in VFS webform, Passport Submission for Permanent Residence Application(family class Priority or Economic PR) or Passport Submission for Permanent Resident Travel Document.?
5.How many days will embassy take to return our passport with Visa.?
6. How long will be the Visa valid?
7. can i just do soft landing, give my friends address and later courier it to India?

Thanks in Advance

Hi, I can answer some of the things you asked.

1. yes thats ppr email
2. No
3. Not sure what you mean by that but you do need to print the ppr email and submit together with passport, attached form they sent and photos to vfs
4. Unsure - didnt see this option on vfs i see
5. The time varies, you can check with the vfs
6. Copr validity is 1 year, up to when your medical records expire. You’ll know the exact date in the copr doc when they send it back to you
7. Technically yes but in light of covid, i’d recommend reading more on others’ experience of the same from this forum

Hello, I'm in the same situation. Please let me know if you were able to send both passports for you and your wife via VFS with the same email you received. Thank you

It is the same for nearly everyone. GCKey won't show anything. Just follow the instructions in the email/letter and send your passports to VFS. I'd no update in either GCKey, not even "all completed" in PR tracker for fwiw.

can you please confirm as I am also on the same boat ?
>I am also on the same boat
You are not in any "boat". Congrats on getting approved.

The "Ready for visa"(RFV) email literally has instructions on what you need to do. I also got a RFV when my PR application was processed. Just follow the steps and it'll all be fine. You are not going to receive anything inside GCKey or any other PPR letter.

We got RFV mail only for primary applicant not for others? Should I attach same email for all applicants at vfs site ?
