This is what our step 4 looks like on the PPR, should we go ahead with submission of the passport to the VFS in the dependent country even though the mailing address is in Canada/USA. I raised a webform stating the current county of the dependent since Oct 6, but no reply yet.

Please advise.

STEP 4: SUBMIT THE REQUIRED DOCUMENTS

 If you do not have a mailing address in Canada or the U.S.A, or if you are unable to submit the required documentation for you or your accompanying family members to the addresses below, please advise IRCC via the IRCC Web form for instructions to submit your documents to the visa office that serves the country where you are.
Please note that our office will not return passports to an address outside North America.

 If you have a mailing address in Canada, please submit by mail in a single package all required documents {including Passport(s) OR photocopy(ies) of passport(s)}, to the following address:

CPCO – PR VISA
Passports Submission
PO Box 9780
Ottawa ON
K1G 6T2

DO NOT FILL OUT THE ADDRESS SECTION ON YOUR CANADA POST RETURN ENVELOPE.

 If you have a mailing address in the U.S.A., please submit by courier in a single package all required documents {including Passport(s) OR photocopy(ies) of passport(s)}, to the following address:

Hi @legalfalcon

My medicals expired 5days ago and I have done another re-medical upfront today, without a remedical request from IRCC. Shall I update them via webform or they will automatically link it to my file? Thanks.

There is no requirement for photo for meds, the physician will take one when you go for the medicals and upload it.

For eyesight, consult your panel physician. Having poor eyesight is not a concern.

You will have to update it with IRCC by sending the upfront sheet via web form.

Hello everyone,

today my visa refused because i didn’t Mentioned my refusal student visa 10 years ago for the USA and Canada send me below text:

I am not satisfied that you have truthfully answered all questions in the documents you have submitted in support of your application, as required by subsection 16(1) of the IRPA. Specifically, I am not satisfied that the following information is truthful: Declaration on past visa refusal(s).

You are welcome to reapply if you feel that you can respond to these concerns and can demonstrate that your situation meets the requirements. All new applications must be accompanied by a new processing fee.

and today I have re applied and mentioned this in my form: My previous Canada visitor visa has been refused on: (October 07,2021). The Reason was because i did not include Declaration on past visa visa refusal for the United State of America (Nov 2012).

Did I do it correctly? that was all that I should do? What do you think will I get my visa now? Any chance for me since first one refused and second one I submit everything as first just in the form added the text above

and after submit I email them again this:
Dear Sir/Madam,

I want to add this text on my application form please because there was not enough space for me to explain my past visa refusal situation:

My first Canada tourist visa application has been refused on (2021-10-08), because I did not declaration on my past visa refusal. (The reason that I did not declaration my USA refusal on my first Canada application from was because I really forgot to add the USA refusal that I had on November 2012 in my form).
And I would like to add in my new application that I have been refused two times for the country United Stated of America. The first refusal was on November 2012 and if I’m not mistaken the second one was on December 2012. The reason that I applied for the United State of America was for my further study, but my visa has been refused and I could not go to the United State of America.

Thank You!
All visa refusals should be disclosed. IF you are unaware of any, you can explain it in LoE.

All your visa refusals should be declared in your application, not doing so can lead to misrepresentation. As per law, you have an obligation to be truthful. Section 16(1) of the IRPA states:
  • 16 (1) A person who makes an application must answer truthfully all questions put to them for the purpose of the examination and must produce a visa and all relevant evidence and documents that the officer reasonably requires.

Understanding “Review Required”

A lot of applicants see “review required” in their GCMS notes for eligibility. There are many theories floating around with regard to what “review required” means and if it is alarming.

Before I venture into explaining the significance, it is important to understand that each application goes through the following stages as per the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and the regulations (Canadian Immigration Law):

R10 – Completeness Check
Criminality
Medicals
A11.2 – eligibility
Security

Out of the above, the most important stage is eligibility. This is also the most time-consuming stage because your documents have to be verified, evaluated and assessed to ascertain that you meet the eligibility criteria for the program you have applied to (FSW / CEC / FTW). To streamline this process and make it easier for an immigration officer (decision-making authority), all applications are first evaluated by case analysts or program assistants. They review the documents and summarize them in the GCMS. If they have any concerns with any document or want the immigration officer to carefully look into a specific document, they will flag it as “review required.” It is the content of the note that is important here. If the review required is for a specific document, while the summary of the note says that an applicant has met the eligibility, or is “ready to finalize” it simply means that while the applicant has met the eligibility criteria, but the specific document needs a careful examination form the officer before promoting (eligibility pass) by the officer.

However, if there are concerns, there will be a review required for the eligibility, and there will be no text to the effect “ready to finalize” or pass. The note will specifically state job duties do not match, or the employee cannot be verified, or the number of years of work experience claimed cannot be verified. This is where an application can land in muddy waters. But the final decision rests on the immigration officer. He may override the decision of the analyst/assistant or go with the analysis of the analyst/assistant.

Even in cases where the analyst/assistant is of the opinion that the applicant has met the eligibility, and there is no “review required,” the officer can replace it with his own opinion. Though rare, it does happen. This is why the eligibility is only passed when an officer conclusively marks the eligibility as passed.

Finally, there is a “review required” for PoF. This is the most common in many applications. This is because the financial and banking practices of each country are different. Eg. Fixed deposits are known as Certificate of Deposit (CD) in the US. Similarly, treasury bonds, mutual funds, stocks, and many other investment vehicles are there. If your PoF is anything other than a bank deposit, it is more likely that it will be marked as “review required.” Also, IRCC does not go by day to day fluctuations in FOREX. Instead, the Canadian federal government issued a quarterly conversion rate for all FOREX vis-a-via CAD. If your PoF is in a foreign currency, then you may have “review required” for the officer to make a determination.

Just because you have “review required” does not mean that you hit panic mode. Instead, read the context in which it is there. If there is a concern regarding a document, you can send a replacement document via CSE. The most common reasons for RR are:

1. Work reference letter without job duties
2. Work reference letters missing all the details requested by IRCC
3. If you submitted a letter from a colleague because you were unable to get one from your employer, but did not have a LoE on file, this too will lead to RR.
4. Not sufficient work experience in the primary NOC.
5. Inability to verify your employment as your employer details are missing.

These are just some of the scenarios.

one more ask @legalfalcon sir since in the PPR letter there's a note below, shouldn't be any problem if I can submit the dependent passport on the date I become the PR as the timeline for 30 days will be counted on the PR confirmation date, not the date I received the PPR letter.
Please advise
Your passports and photos must be received by the visa office in New Delhi
within 30 days of the primary applicant’s confirmation of permanent residence status

@legalfalcon
it clearly states "within 30 days of the primary applicant’s confirmation of permanent residence status"

@legalfalcon thank you for the response.
So can I just create one word document describing the travel dates and what airlines will I book? Will that be sufficient ?
YEs. You also provide the duration of stay in your application form too.
