Received PPR Today - To send passport or photocopies?

Hey there,

I received the PPR email today (AOR 19th Oct) and within the email there's reference to sending off your passport but also just photocopies of your passport. The email states if you have a US Passport or are a citizen of a country that requires an eTA to travel to Canada then you should not sent your passport, but a photocopy instead?

So being a UK citizen with a British passport, I assume I do not send my actual passport but rather a photocopy of the passport photo page? So in the letter I send should be:

- Photocopy of my passport photo page (+ my wife who is secondary applicant)
- 2 photographs of myself and 2 photographs of my wife (one with name, DOB etc on the back)
- Annex A

For Annex A, do I literally print that little box out, add my mailing address to it and include that in the envolope?

Finally, I'm slightly confused that if I do just need to send a photocopy of my passport, why that's even needed since I already uploaded scans of all passport pages as part of my PR application so I'm essentially sending them something they already have!

Thanks!

yes, you must send just a photocopy of your passport. The same for your wife if she's also British (exempt of visa). If she's from a country that needs a visa, she'll have to send her actual passport, not just a photocopy.
It's true, they already have that photocopy of your passport because you uploaded that to your application, but I guess it's standard protocol to request passport info again for everyone once the final decision has been made.
Good luck with everything!

Awesome, thanks very much! And it's just the photo page right? Not a photo copy of every stamped page too?

And Annex A just needs printing, signing and my mailing address added to it?

You are required to submit one photocopy of the photo page and any pages containing amendments of the passport. Just pay attention to the instructions on your PPR email.
I exported the Annex A into a word file (took a screenshot of the barcode), filled it out on my computer, printed it, signed it and off it went! Ottawa received it two days ago, I'm hoping to hear something next Tuesday. I already live in Canada.
I don't know where you have to send it if you live in the UK. I'm guessing they told you where in the PPR email
