Thanks so much for your reply!
The email says nothing about being INLAND, the letter does say "CIC Monreal - Inland Services" though.
I think maybe the problem is that my application was processed in CPC Mississauga, the email comes from High Commission London, and the letter comes from CIC Montreal. I'm assuming the problem is lack of communication between all three places.
I've been trying to call the CIC call centre which not much luck. They just told me to respond to the requests provided to me, there seems to be no way to reach CIC Montreal, and I believe the only way of communicated the visa office in London in email, where they average a very long time to email back.
Okay so what I've decided to do is respond to BOTH requests and just include a letter of explanation and provide a copy of both requests received and let them know that I've sent everything to each place.
I have one question though re: Request from High Commission. Letter seems pretty standard, and maybe I am missing something, or having a blonde moment, but I can't seem to figure out what to do lol.
Letter from High Commission - Visa office LONDON, UK states this:
"Your application has reached the final stage of processing. So that your permanent resident visa(s) can be issued, you must now submit the documents listed below:
1. Two recent photographs of yourself and two recent photographs of each of your accompanying family members. The photos must meet the Photo Specifications as detailed in Appendix A.
2. The “Updated Information Chart” in Appendix B, fully completed for you and each accompanying family member.
3. A photocopy of the photo and personal information pages of your passport and of the passport(s) of your accompanying spouse and dependent children to our office in
London.
Submit the documents within 30 days of the date of this correspondence according to the instructions in Appendix C. Please also include a copy of this correspondence with your submission. All documents for you and your accompanying family members must be submitted together in one package.
At this point, I understand I need to send all these things to Canada House in London. got it.
THEN the letter states this:
A) To submit your package to London via courier or mail directly Mail or courier your package to:
VPU Processing (LDN)
Immigration Division - Canadian High Commission
Canada House
Trafalgar Square
London, SW1Y 5BJ
United Kingdom
Okay, straight forward enough. BUT then there's this.
B) Submitting photocopies of your passport(s) in Canada (CPC-O): If you and all the accompanying dependents on your application are currently in Canada and plan to be in Canada for at least three months, you may submit photocopies of your passport(s) to the Case Processing Centre – Ottawa (“CPC-O”). You are required to send the passport photocopies together along with a copy of this correspondence by mail or courier to the following address:
CPC – Ottawa
PO Box 9780
Ottawa, ON, K1G 4B9
Canada
Purchase two prepaid letter-sized (32 x 24 cm) Canada Post Xpresspost envelopes (Regional if you live in Ontario or Quebec; National for other provinces and territories), at any Canada Post retail outlet.
Complete the mailing label showing your full mailing address in the “Deliver To” field.
Make a note of tracking numbers for each envelope.
Enclose both envelopes along with your passport and a copy of this letter.
You can purchase a Canada Post shipping label on line: http://www.canadapost.ca/personal/tools/cst/intro-e.asp
Again, pretty clear. BUT here's where I am confused...
My boyfriend and I live in Montreal at the moment, so he is able to send his passport photocopies to CPC - OTTAWA.
But what about the 2 photos and his updated information sheet? Do those still go to London?
Now I was thinking of sending passport copies to CPC - Ottawa and the photos and info sheet to LONDON as requested, but then I see on page 1: All documents for you and your accompanying family members must be submitted together in
one package
Am I the only one not getting what to do?
