Good news for me, and possibly all of you!
So another member here said that they emailed Ottawa asking for status of their case. I did the same thing, and received the following email back within ~6 hours:
Dear ANDREW PHILLIP STONE:
This is in reference to your application for permanent residence in Canada as a member of the family class. We have now completed the initial assessment of your application, and expect to finalize your application without a personal interview. While an interview does not appear necessary at this time, we reserve the right to call you to an interview, should this become necessary at some future stage in processing.
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY ALL OF THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION BEFORE PROCEEDING FURTHER. YOUR APPLICATION WILL BE FINALIZED BY THE CASE PROCESSING PILOT – OTTAWA (“CPP-O”).
In order to continue processing your application, the following is required:
Ø Please provide an ORIGINAL FBI clearance certificate for yourself. The clearance you have submitted appears to be a photocopy and was not issued by the relevant authorities. Please note that electronic criminal reports on line are not sufficient. You must provide an ORIGINAL FBI .
Ø COPY OR SCANNED IMAGE of your passport and passports of your accompanying family members, as noted below.
Please note:
All documents must be accompanied by English or French translations. When original documents are requested, notarised documents are not acceptable.
Passport Copies:
You are a citizen of a country that is exempted from obtaining a visa to visit Canada under Regulation 190 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations. You are therefore required to send only a copy or scanned image of the photo page of your passport and of any pages indicating a validity extension or change to your personal information. You must submit these copies/scans for yourself and for all your accompanying family member(s).
DO NOT SEND YOUR ORIGINAL PASSPORT(S). We require copies of a VALID passport for yourself and every accompanying family member. Please note that permanent resident visas cannot be issued on Diplomatic, Official or Military passports.
Changes to your Family Composition:
· Have you married or divorced?
· Have you given birth or adopted a child?
· Do you intend to get married or divorced prior to becoming a permanent resident?
· Do you intend to give birth or adopt a child prior to becoming a permanent resident?
· Has your sponsor withdrawn his or her sponsorship of your application?
If any of these conditions apply, you must inform CPP-O immediately. You will be asked to submit evidence such as a copy of the marriage, divorce, birth or adoption certificate or a letter advising when and where the marriage, divorce, birth or adoption is expected to take place. Any new spouse and/or children must be added to your application and be found admissible to Canada before your case is finalized. Failure to declare additional dependants such as a spouse or children before you become a permanent resident could result in the cancellation of your permanent resident visa. Once your file is closed, you would be required to submit a new application and pay new processing fees. Any new application would be assessed under the Act and Regulations in force at the time of its submission.
Send your documents to the Case Processing Pilot – Ottawa (CPP-O)
If original documents (such as police certificates or photographs) have been requested, you are required to submit all documents by MAIL within the next 60 days to CPP-O at the address noted below.
If no original documents have been requested, you may submit copies of your documents by mail, by fax, or as scanned images attached to an email to CPP-O at the contact information noted below.
The requested information/documents must be received in our office within 60 days from the date of this letter. Failure to do so could result in the refusal of your application.
Please submit all the requested items together in a single package. Please quote your complete application number on your correspondence and address your correspondence to CPP-O at the address indicated below.
Thank you for the interest you have shown in Canada.
Sincerely,
Case Officer
So, I am assuming this is PPR?? I also used a channeller, which sucks, because now I have to wait a few weeks to get those. But I had no updates from ECAS, and nothing emailed. NO CONTACT until I emailed them. Now, it looks as if everything is good to go, as soon as I get the police cert.
I advise anyone who is going through Ottawa to email them and ask for an update on the status of their case. You just might get a PPR...
