What I don't understand is if it takes ~2 months to process the passports for Visa issuance, why did the Ankara visa office sent him a PPR?
They should have emailed him to redo his medical exam!!!!
The funny thing is that he was about to redo the medical exam since it was almost time, when he got the PPR.

hi nikooe ,I wonder ,is your friend medical examination had been expired and  they send him ppr despite his medical expired? do you mean his medical will be expire in 11 May?

He sent his passport the the Ankara Visa office.  He emailed them once asking about the visa process and how he could send his passport bofore acutally mailing it, which he still hasn't recieved an email back from them.
Also tried calling the embassy too, and he was told by the receptionist that they cannot connect him the the visa section and that he has to email them.

In ppr they say how to send the passport. They say usually use dhl to send it to tehran. Also say don't use Iranian pishtaz. Did his ppr say that?
How did he send his

Hi Guys,
it seems like a lot of people have got PPR and have mailed their passports in, but haven't heard back from the VO.
My friend mailed in his passport about a month ago, and his visa (if issued) expires on May 11, 2012 (that's 10 days from now) and still no news. He's really worried as to what will happen if it doesn't get to him on time.
I thought it's best to ask you guys and see if you know what he could do.
Thanks again.

This is getting scarier:(

My husband has contacted DHL, TNT, etc. to send his passport to Ankara. Due to the closure of visa & immigration section in Iran none of them are accepting passports anymore. I have contacted Canadian Embassy in Tehran and they asked me to contact Ankara. When I contacted them they mentioned to follow the instructions on their website! When I checked their website there is nothing about spousal sponsorship and submitting passports!

Any thoughts?!

hey everyone, this is just for info:

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/bulletins/2012/ob415.asp

so it looks that it's not so much abt politics but abt budget cuts and making the process more efficient....of couurse for anyone going through the closed embassies and through the embassies which take over, it means more waiting

P, i don't know keep calling and push them i guess, it's really confusing....hope it will b solved soon

[missmini]

if everyone keeps sending ppl back and forth and everything is so confusing, why not go in person with the passport? yes in the letter they say u should mail it but that letter is generic and probably not updated with the latest changes....i would go in person (just give it a shot) especially if the medicals would b close to expiry  here is what it says on CIC website:

Permanent Resident Travel Documents:    By mail or in person to the visa office in Ankara (Turkey) OR in person to any other CIC visa office

What does your PPR say? Does it say to send the password to Tehran or Ankara? If it says Canadian 'Embassy' in Tehran (since Embassy is still open) then chances are, you could still send it to Tehran. You probably have tried, but any luck calling Ankara directly, and asking them about the confusion?
Thanks Vivi for clarification.

In the link missmini posted about visa section closure in Tehran:
"Activities on behalf of other visa offices:
Tehran was finalizing certain PR applications, accepting documents, handling passports for visa issuance, and refunding fees to clients (Canadian financial instruments are not negotiable in Iran due to economic sanctions). These activities will no longer be performed as the visa office in Tehran is closed. Ankara is now responsible for all business lines previously handled by Tehran."

If I were in your position I would go to Ankara in person and hand in the passport. I know it this is not mentioned as an option in the PPR email, but I don't think there's anything else you could do right now.

what they posted is really confusing and vague , I would go in person as well cause I tried calling a few times and no answer .
