Hello All,

I applied for my parent's PR last year and received PPR addressed to my dad (principle applicant) only. Should I wait for another passport request addressed to my mom (accompanying applicant)? Or one passport request is sufficient enough for both the applicants?

Earlier, they received separate letters for bio-metrics, I filled two separate forms for them. How come the passport request letter would be only one for both which is in my father's name?

Call IRCC, I think it should be one only as your mother must be dependent on the application

By the way what is your timeline? Visa office ? Just to track

Thanks for the response. It is so hard to get hold of someone at IRCC. I was thinking if anyone would know about this? Do we typically get two PPRs or just one.

If I may ask what do you mean by 1 year of silence. What stage are you at now? Have your parents completed medicals yet?
My mom’s file was transferred to Accra last year sept and they just sent us pre-arrivals services letter 3 days ago( after one year of no communication). They requested for medical and PCC 2 days ago and asked for passport submission before sept 25th
 
My dad worked in Kuwait from 1978 to 1980 and in Iraq from 1980 to 1984. He has sent two emails each to Kuwaiti and Iraqi Embassies (attaching copies of visas and work permits) requesting PCCs but these have not been responded.
Can anyone share success story of getting PCC from these countries?

I have highlighted the lines in RED color from the letter. This lines clearly says that the CIC is expecting more than one passport in response to this letter. Also clearly mentioning that the dependents passports/photos

So my understanding is you need to send all passports at once. There is no other letter CIC is sending to you.
