Congratulations Safi!
My spouse also received PPR just today. However, We have a small confusion and just wondering if you could guide me. In the PPR email it is mentioned that "If your passport is from a country whose citizens need a visa to travel to Canada, you will need to submit original passport(s) for you and each accompanying family member. Your passport(s) should be valid for at least 6 months and have at least two blank pages"
My Spouse's passport is expiring in 5 months. Should we get the new passport first and then send it to the VFS? Thank you

That's a tricky situation. I'm not an expert on that but I believe you should renew it, but you should inform them through webform asap about renewing passport. Once you have it submit to the vfs. Also, it's only a month difference from their standard criteria it's about taking a chance . You are too late to ask them through webform about it so go with the first option.

Yayyyyyy. Finally a sigh of relief to know that you have received PPR. Enjoy your spouse's hard-earned PPR. We all have been through a lot while waiting for our applications to be processed by LVO. But Allah is the best planner.

I hope you still visit this platform in the future for our future Qs.

inshaAllah I will . No doubt it was a difficult time for us and good part is it's over now. My husband is coming on Sunday so we are going for virtual landing as too late to cancel flights and reschedule. Let's see how the virtual landing goes. Hopefully it takes a month maybe .

Hey @Addy@11, Firstly congratulation definitely a big sigh of relief. I noticed that your first app was returned due to IMM 5475 being missing. Why did they need it in the first place? Isn't it being missing normal as it is only required if you are releasing info to a 3rd party.


My wife sent her application yesterday and we were wondering if we should send it via webform now.

Hi. I'm not an expert but all embassies/ high commissions ask for 6 months passport validity to stamp a new visa (not sure why). Better to ask IRCC through webform and to apply for the new passport in parallel. Urgent takes 5 business days.

Everyone who got COPR/PPR, CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Happy for all of your mashaAllah.

Can you please confirm what is the validity of COPR or visa? Is it till the expiry of your medical?

hi everyone, i just got an email this morning from IRCC - saying that IRCC got our "paper" application on so and so date....and now I should link it to IRCC account.

But we applied ONLINE - and we got AOR and we got SA. And now---they are saying it was paper?

Do i need to inform them about this - or simply let it go? is this a standard email sent to everyone paper/online - to link their application to IRCC? My application appeared on IRCC by itself. Few days after getting AOR, i simply logged in with uci and it was there.
