Sent Passports to Ottawa after PPR in September

[the_lion]

Guys, How long does it take to receive passports back from CPC- OTTAWA ?

 

[mazamilam]

There is no fixed time. It all depends on the Case Processing office.

When I sent my passport, I received it on Day 8. Other have got it later. As a rule of thumb, I would say 14 working days.

Congrats!! THIS IS PPR!

most of ppl receive it by email

 

[satya.mnf]

Hello Folks, just a quick clarification. We DO NOT have to send our original passports and only the photocopies right?

 

[AshesNdust]

Hello Folks, just a quick clarification. We DO NOT have to send our original passports and only the photocopies right?

It dpends on what country your passport is from. Read the instructions on the letter that pertain to your country, visa-exempt just the photocopy, visa country the actual passport.

 

[the_lion]

@Satya.mnf : From your user name it seems like you're from the beautiful India. If that's the case, You absolutely HAVE to send your passports. Otherwise, please refer to the link they have provided in the PPR Email to check specific requirements for your esteemed country.
Good Luck!

 

[dobes]

Hello Folks, just a quick clarification. We DO NOT have to send our original passports and only the photocopies right?

If you are on the right board, then the lion is right - if you are from India or any other visa country, once you get a PPR you send the original passport to Ottawa to have a special visa put into it and sent back with your CoPR.

But if you are on the wrong thread here, and you are talking about your PR application following the receipt of an ITA, then you need to just upload a copy of your passport.

 

[the_lion]

good Catch Dobes!

I was assuming that you already have a PPR in hand. in any case, good luck!
