Outland - Passport requested when in Canada

[innosense]

Hello everyone,

I am planning to apply Outland application and put the visa office as New Delhi. Presently I am in Canada as a visitor.
I am hoping that I can get visitor extension and stay here for a while.

I am planning to provide a Canadian address in the forms along with my email address for communication.

I was just thinking ahead and wondering what happens towards the end, if I get PPR when I am in Canada ?
Should I travel to India and send it to Delhi and wait to receive it back ?

Someone please throw some light on this doubt !! Thank you so much !

if you put a canadian address as your contact address for CIC, your COPR will go to that address. The only reason you *may* need t travel back to India is if an interview was requested.

Thank you for the response.
But where do I send my passport if I am in Canada And I am getting the passport request from New Delhi ?

You need to send it to New Delhi.

They may or may not mail passports back to Canada. Best to ask this question in the New Delhi thread.

Hi

As it is illegal to mail/courier passports in/out of India, CHC New Delhi will not mail the passport to Canada.

Hi

Yes this is my understanding too. That's why I am confused.
When my husband got his CoPR email, there was a statement as below

"If you or any of your family members are residing outside North America and you are unable to send your/their passport(s) to Canada and/or to provide a return mailing address in North America, contact us at CPC-CTD-Ottawa@cic.gc.ca so that we can make arrangements to print visas at another office."

I would like to know if Delhi office or any other outland visa office will provide such an option.

If any OUTLAND applicant who received his CoPR can paste the email here, it will be great. someone please do. thank you !
