Ready for Visa / Prêt pour Visa - Weird Questions

Hello!

Last night we received an email from IRCC.CPCO-FinalRequest-CTDO-DemandeFinale.IRCC@cic.gc.ca and It seems legit, the real "Golden email".

But, having read some of examples, ours has some differences:

1- The UCI number is blank

2- It does not have a bar code

3- They are giving us just 15 days to send the passports, not 30 as they usual give.

4- We don't need a Visa for Canada (our passports are Mexican and Italian, so we need just an eTA), but they are not giving us the chance to send just a copy of the passports picture page. They are requesting the original passports.

5- And this is the weirdest one... they are asking the complete address in which we intend to live in Canada o_O I honestly think that this request doesn't make any sense, because we are not going to rent an apartment nor hostel nor whatever without knowing if we are actually accepted, without our PR Visa in hand, and not knowing when exactly are we going to land! (We know it is going to be in Calgary, and it should before April 2018... but that's it!)


Please note that our Visa Office is Mexico City.

Could someone help us?

Thank you! :)

The domain name cic.gc.ca is correct but should call the CIC call centre to verify the email id.

Your PPR is sent to your EE profile. CIC doesn't send request letters to your email. Only notifications are sent over email.

Report this to CIC and alert them. While you're at it, also ask them about status of your application!! :)

I came across 15 days being given, with UCI a number of people have never seen their UCI for whatever reason...

not sure about the barcode.

Now a days we are getting PPR directly to email instead of EE profile. May I know when did you get your PPR?

I received my PPR via email.

That's new for me... I heard CIC is trying few new ways of late. Perhaps due to high volume. Not sure if sending PPRs thru emails is one of them.

I have got the exact same problem. They are asking for the complete address in which I intend to live in Canada, which, as you say, makes 0 sense to someone whose visa's not been confirmed yet. What did you end up doing regarding this?
