what is this email about "ready for Visa"

[sr88]

Hey I received a similar email from the same email address. Is this email legit or a scam?

Thank you.

It is a legit email. You will need to send them your passport. They will stamp a visa on your passport and you will also receive a COPR letter. You will need them to enter Canada the first time to initiate your PR card.

Ohh nice, thanks a lot. So will I have an interview at that time? Do I have to take any documents?

Thanks.

I thinks it's more of a standard questionnaire rather than a full-on interview.
You will definitely need your COPR letter and Proof of Funds along with your Passport.
I haven't finished that process myself so maybe someone else can provide more input.

Hi there,

I got that email yesterday and sent the prepaid envelope ect off today. I didn’t need to provide my passport.

How long does it take to receive back confirmation of PR ?

Thank you

Hey guys, so I just got my PPR email and among the required documents is a completed and signed Annex A but there is no such attachment whatsoever and not in the mail either. Please does anyone have an insight on this and how did you go about it? Thanks

Go to the very end of the email (after the French version), you should see a link for the full message. If you are using Gmail, it should look like this:

I hope it will help you.

Hi,
I just got my "Ready for visa" email. I had a few questions so it will be great if someone can answer these:

1. I am residing in US. However, my address recently changed so the address I mentioned in my application now differs from my new address (both are US addresses). So can I fill my new address in the Annex A? Will that be an issue since they will see it is not the same US address they have in file?
   
   
2. In the email it was mentioned "The Self-Addressed pre-paid envelope should be arranged with a courier that delivers between Canada and the U.S.A." so basically
   • I need to include a return envelope too along with the documents inside my main envelope right?
   • do I need to write my address on the return envelope?
   • Is there any specifications on the size of the envelopes?
   • Has anyone sent their passport from US to Canada and can suggest a reliable courier?
     
3. The Annex A form is just pasted below the email. So how to send that? Should I just take a print of the whole "Ready for visa" email and then fill up the Annex A form with a pen, sign it and send the same? Can someone who did this tell me how they did?
   
   
4. Does my wife (secondary applicant) also need to sign the Annex A?

Congratulations! I got a similar email on Monday but I have a few questions:

1. There is no update in my IRCC Secure Account. Is that normal?
2. How long does it take to stamp the visa and send us our passport back?
3. Is there any place where we can track the passport after it reaches them?

Hi Vamsic,

I also got an similar email today, but there no update in my IRCC account. Could you please help in letting if my know this email means that our application is approved and this email is for putting visa on our passport. Will they also issue COPR letter after this.

Hello Devesh,

Congratulations!

As long as the email is from IRCC.CIO-BRCD.IRCC@cic.gc.ca (or from the cic.gc.ca domain) you can go ahead and follow the instructions in the email and send your passport. In my case, the CIC account was updated a week after I sent the passport.

I got my passport back with the single-entry visa and the COPR papers 2 weeks after sending it.

All the best

Thanks for your reply !!

Yes, the email is from IRCC.CIO-BRCD.IRCC@cic.gc.ca. Could you also let me know if the COPR provides a tentative date by when we need to travel, like would it be valid for next 6 months.

 

[vamsic]

You can enter Canada before your single-entry visa expires. The validity is typically between 6 months to 1 year. The visa expiry date and the visa # will also be reflected in your CIC account after it is updated.
