YEs, you can submit your passport in another country after informing IRCC. You have two options:

1. If you change your country of residence, when you receive the PPR, you will have to instructions to submit your passport in the country of residence that IRCC has on file with you.

2. If you receive the PPR and then travel to another country, you will have to inform IRCC that you wish to submit your passport in another country. IRCC will send you the instructions. This may take some time as you will have to send a webform. Also, after you receive the PPR with new instructions, you should make sure that you have sufficient time on your permit / visa in the new country for your passport to be returned. It can take 1-5 weeks for the passport to be returned.

As regards not having a passport in another country, it does not matter. Most countries do not require you to carry a passport on you and in some countries such as US and Canada, a police officer cannot even ask you for your immigration status.
Glad its possible.. Awesome. Thank you

I’ve mostly watched the discussion here, but i truly believe that it is a very slippery slope when applicants start discussing who is more or less “skilled” when it comes to immigration (and by extension, who is more deserving of invites and/or PR)

The system is already tiered as it is (NOC levels, CRS ranking, priority processing, etc). It would serve people better to focus more on their own circumstances, pathways, and applications, than worrying about whether or not a sub-430 CRS candidate is “skilled” enough to contribute to Canada’s economic growth. If they aren’t deemed so, they won’t progress.

The whole thing smacks of elitism. Just my 2 cents.
Completely agree with you. This new stream was designed for people who are already here and contributing to the Canadian economy. I think the main reason could have been the immediate injunction of money to the federal government as every applicant will be depositing a sum of $1000. Since there are travel restrictions in place, people cant migrate here which seriously affects the economy. The intention was simple: lets include people who are already here, helped canada through crisis and make a little money on the side. At the end, any ministry takes step towards the benefit of the country and this was a quick fix for a small term issue.

Immigration application fees are not an income stream for Canada. So that is not the reason.

The fees paid by applicants only cover approximately 50% of the costs to process an application. The rest is covered by Canadian taxpayers.

FSW-I pay taxes too, but they weren't gifted ITAs. The recent actions and changes were never based solely on economic concerns. It'd be fair and perfectly understandable if FSW-I were given ITAs while FSW-O were not. The explanation is there, the govt wants to keep tax payers as the govt itself said it.
FSW-I pay taxes too .
YES exactly, The tax and the laborers. Especially the international students. The next upper level of homeless category is International Students and this is same everywhere in the world, still pity when it comes to the Americas, Whereas in the UK / EU its a bit better. After all it was their decision to leave their home countries, so they don't complain. IRCC helped them No, Its better to say IRCC is trying to achieve the targets by offering this new stream. Even though there is no FSW-O draws, I feel good that this stream was offered to them. Some of us including myself has gone through the life of an international student at least once.

"The recent actions and changes were never based solely on economic concerns. the govt wants to keep tax payers as the govt itself said it"
The absolute Truth
The government is not to help anyone but to generate more tax and keep laborers.

Precisely. At worst, these candidates are pushing your PR dreams by a by few months, a year at most. Canada has deemed them fit for Permanent Residence and they too will play a vital role in contributing to the Canadian economy in their own way but don't worry, the candidate with a 75 CRS score is not competing with your job that requires a specific set of skills and years of experience.

I am waiting since Jan 2020 like everyone.
Unfortunately yesterday I lost a finger from right foot. The 4th finger, next to the little finger.
Is it going to affect my immigration? Should I update something about this somewhere?
Please do help me understand this.

What is the reason why FSW is inland, paytax and cannot be an CEC candidate?

Sorry to hear about your medical issue. But it will have no impact on the PR application. To read on medicals and what makes a person inadmissible on medical grounds, see https://bit.ly/3cxnr0w
