Yup did the webform as well. Will save all the evidence of the correspondance and send in my passport when I return with explanation and evidence. Than just pray and hope. Will post on here how things work out in case helpful to others.

Thanks. That is what I did. I applied for long term multiple entry PRTD with cover letter as instructed. It's the same process as applying for a single entry PRTD, you just include the cover letter and extra evidence. The letter I received saying a decision had been made (and that I need to...

If anyone else has been able to submit their passport to a VAC outside of the 30 day allotted period, please let me know. Can I include a letter of explanation as to why I am submitting late? I've already written to the High Commision of Canada in London to ask for advice, and I have written to...

It's impacting my travel plans because I can't visit a foreign country without my passport. My passport cannot be both in my possession so I can travel with it and at the same time be with the VAC. I have to choose one or the other; either I don't go on a planned holiday or my PRTD application...

Not traveling to Canada in next 4 week. Going on holiday to Portugal from UK. A holiday that has been booked for over a year. So my options now appear to be lose the holiday (for the whole family) or lose my PRTD. In terms of traveling to Canada, my plan was to book that once I have the PRTD...

Are you sure its no more than 10 days? I'm in a bit of a bind. I received a letter today saying I had been approved for a PRTD, and asking me to submit my passport to London VAC within 30 days. But I can't as I need to use the passport to travel in the next 4 weeks, and the VAC automated message...

Yes all of 5 years spent accompanying Canadian wife abroad. I sent LOTS of evidence, probably too much (marriage certificate, deed of house in both names, bills in both names, dated photos of our family, recent mortgage agreement in both names, children's birth certificates both born within the...

UPDATE: Nothing in GCKey still but today we received an email saying a decision had been made and please could we submit the physical passport. I assume this is so they can put the PRTD in it. So that is brilliant, a PRTD decision in less than 3 days. Wow! :) By the way the PR portal never...

Nothing in my newly created Gckey account but will check again in a few days. Did you apply for PR card or PRTD? Only certain kinds of applications go on Gckey apperantly.

Hi all, I submitted an application for a PRTD using the Permanent Resident Portal. It had a few technical glitches before I managed to get the submission button to work. In now says application submitted but I have not received a confirmation email indicating the system has recognized that I...

Hey All, I had the same issue with IMM 5444 showing as 'In Progress' even though everything was correct. I was using Firefox initially, so I tried signing in with the same email address but using Google Chrome this time. I went through IMM 5444 again without changing anything, and it worked. It...

No I did not translate the visa stamps. It seemed like a ridiculous request, so I just took the chance that they were not going to make a fuss about it. All the dates on all the stamps were clearly visible, so I figured that was enough. They did not mention untranslated stamps at the interview...

Hey everyone, Marten had his appointment today to get his PR card at the Etobicoke office in Toronto. It all went well and he got his card!!! Here is what we learned: There were already people lined up even though he showed up at 8:30, which is an hour before the counter opens. He was seen...

No, you misunderstand. We did go back to Canada in order to apply. All I meant to say is that on the application we gave our UK address for the time we were in the UK and our Canadian address for the time we were in Canada. They would not have processed the application if they saw that it had...

He mailed his application on December 11, 2017. We indicated on the application that we live in the UK at the moment and provided our UK address for the dates we have been in the UK. I then provided a Toronto address (my dad's) with an indication of when we would be at that address. We were in...
