Getting a passport request is usually a very good thing, so maybe you just got really really lucky?Bea5 said:soooo.. today I got a letter from the embassy in Berlin requesting my passport... already? Does anyone know if this is good news?
Do they just request it just so I can't get into Canada to stay there illegally? Or are they actually close to making a decision? Nervous again! :

According to the CIC himepage, Berlin is supposed to take about twice the time of London.
Well, in any case your application is being processed and that's good news in itself. I'm sure you'll be fine regardless...Bea5 said:
I got my PPR today!
No update on eCAS, but an e-mail asking for the PP.
Getting the PP back takes 2-3 weeks, right?

Thanks!Bea5 said:Congratulations, Swede! That's great news
Now I'm off to the FedEx store to send off my PP. Does anyone know if you need to perform some special voodoo to get the passport there and back again in one piece?
