Waiting for Passport - Please add your case here

[Twoorigins]

We have sent in our passport as requested last month, but because we need to leave the country that we are currently in(we're in Hong Kong and our employment visa has expired), we have emailed the immigration to ask about our passport. And now, they have sent us back the passport without any changes to it or no visas, so we're totally puzzled. We wonder if we need to resend the passport again, once we travel out of hong kong? Or we have to wait for another PPR? And what if we change the address, does it affects the processing time or the file has to transfer again to another visa office nearer to us?

Anyone met with this kind of situation?

You have to wait for another PPR. Send them an email indicating your change of address & current visa office where you want to stamp the visas.

Thanks for your information. I'm wondering if the file will be transfer to another visa office? And it will takes longer for the transfer.

Send a mail to CPC-CTD-Ottawa@cic.gc.ca to change you address and Visa office. It might take some/long time. But at this point I dont think you have much options.

I sent in my passport and it was received today (March 20, 2014).

My e-mail didn't ask for any photos either. Is this now standard or did they miss mentioning it in the e-mail? I didn't send any, just the passport.

guys I got PPR yesterday..planning to send my pp next week ...They didn't ask for any picture. should I send the passport only then or photos too? If I need to send the photos,what is the dimension and how many?

and usually how long is the visa valid for because I am planning to travel home and do my landing on my return .

Thank you all.

Just received an e-mail from CIC confirming my passport had been received and was in queue for visa printing.

Did you send them an email? Or they just happen to inform you?

I had e-mailed letting them know that I had mailed in my passport, and to confirm that the conditions in STEP 1 didn't apply to me.
