Dear XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX,


The processing of your application for permanent residence in Canada is almost complete.

PLEASE READ ALL OF THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING. YOUR APPLICATION WILL BE FINALIZED AT THE CASE PROCESSING PILOT-OTTAWA (“CPP-O”).

Has your family composition changed since our last correspondence?

· 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?

If any of these conditions apply, you must inform CPP-O immediately:
OttPilot-Immigration @ cic.gc.ca

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.


If none of these conditions applies to you, you may proceed below.

Right of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF)

Every principal applicant and his/her accompanying spouse/common law partner are required to pay a Right of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF) in the amount of 490 Canadian dollars.

Our records indicate that you have already paid these fees. They are refundable if for any reason you do not obtain permanent residence in Canada.

Passport(s)

We require a VALID passport for you and for each accompanying family member. Passports for you and all accompanying family members must be submitted together. There must be at least one blank visa page in each passport. If there are children included in your passport there must be blank visa pages for them as well.

Please note that permanent resident visas cannot be issued to holders of Diplomatic, Official or Military passports. You must obtain an ordinary passport.


Photographs

You must submit two (2) recent photographs of yourself and of each accompanying family member that meet the requirements stated on this webpage.

Hello Everyone

I just received the same email as well asking me to send my passport. I am happy, relieved and a whole bunch of other emotions thrown in the mix, I still cannot believe that it is happening.
I have a question to ask. I live in the United States and I read on other threads that it takes some time to receive your passport from Immigration Canada if you live in the United States. In the email that was sent to me, it stated that If I have an address in Canada, I could purchase two prepaid envelopes and send it to them.
My question is I have my sister who lives in Canada, can I send her my passport so that she can mail it for me with the two prepaid envelopes, that was it will be quicker OR do I, myself, send my passport from the United States?
Is it going to be an issue if they see the Canadian address on my sister on the envelope instead of my American address?

Do you guys know other people who have done this before?
And lastly if I send them my passport via United States Post Office, do I need to add a prepaid envelope even if they did not ask me to?

I will really appreciate anyone's feedback/answer/comment on this.

Thank you a million

Hi,

Went for medical check-up today and was told that I might have diabetes. Will that lead to rejection? Anybody know?

Which doc did you go to?

 

[PandFeb2013]

They told you that on the spot, without doing any tests?

The doctor said that the sugar content was quite high in the urine sample by looking at it.

 

[PandFeb2013]

Which doc did you go to?

I got an appointment with Dr. Margaret Buczek in Carling ottawa.

The doctor said that the sugar content was quite high in the urine by looking at it.

I see. Did you eat anything sweet right before your medicals?

I had a banana and coffee.

Panda, having diabetes itself should not lead to rejection, unless there are other complications. They may do a serum creatinine test though, to make sure your kidneys are functioning properly. Check out the IMEI for diabetes.
