Letter on principal applicant name covers both applicant and any dependent/accompanying member.
No separate letter for dependent . We used same letter for submitting passports of both applicants at VFS and our passports are stamped.

Under Step 2 (a) It says "you will need to submit original passport(s) for you and each accompanying family"-

Later in letter it says "Two (2) photos of yourself and of each accompanying family member"
Does you letter had names of both principal applicant and dependent applicant?

Thanks!
and do you know usually how long it takes to be received after Pre arrival letter?
Does you letter had names of both principal applicant and dependent applicant?
No, it only had principal applicant name . But this same letter applies for principal applicant and dependent.
I uploaded same letter for both applicants to get their passport pick up and drop service.
No issues observed in whole process.

What troubled me is CIC asked to submit passports of all applicants in same package, but VFS asks you to make two packages one for each applicant.
Clear contradiction . But fortunately it didn't cause any issue .

Hello All, if medicals expire before receiving passport request, do they notify us to upload new medical results? And do they give us a timeframe or we need to do it proactively and upload in our profile in documents section?

Normally both come within a week...in my case , Passport request came first and pre-arrival letter came next day...Hope you get the passport request soon.

Friendly Advice. Please avoid giving suggestions before proper research.

You do not need to prove anything. IRCC clearly says to INFORM them about any change in circumstances IMMEDIATELY.
Currently its taking around 5 - 6 months to get a Birth certificates.
I posted what i did and my rep. Said too not proving anyone here the form is all about what we had experienced or did it. It always next person choice what they wanted to do ?? And its only took me 35 days to get birth certificate not 5-6 mnths

So i was posting friendly update to help ofcourse!!

Congratulations!
No Prearrival - Are the primary applicant and dependents in Canada? Did you receive any acknowledgement after Oct 10th that the document received or provided or added to a file?

Thanks…my parents are in india. I didn’t receive any acknowledgement but I left a webform last Monday to enquire to reason of dela. They replied back on Thursday and assured me that they are processing my file as quickly as they can. So this Monday I received PPR but GC account does not have any changes. I don’t know if it’s coincidence or they reacted to webform.

This is good because IRCC usually ignores the web forms if the application is in regular processing times. Good for you!
