Hi
My mother lives in India and I have received PP request by email today, being her representative in Canada.
Do I have to now get her passport from India and send to Ottawa office?

I would like to know if the process has now changed as the letter states below.

STEP 3: PREPARE THE REQUIRED DOCUMENTS
1. Passport(s) OR photocopy(ies) of passport(s), as explained in Step 2.
2. Two (2) photos of yourself and of each accompanying family member. See our specifications at www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/pdf/5445EB-e.pdf
3. One pre-paid return envelope for the return of your passport(s) and Confirmation of Permanent Residence documents: DO NOT SELECT “Schedule a pickup”; DO NOT put IRCC Phone Number or email address
a. If your documents are being returned to a Canadian mailing address, please submit a Pre-paid Xpresspost envelope from Canada Post or a pre-paid return envelope from any other courier service.
b. If your documents are being returned to a mailing address in the U.S.A, please submit a self-addressed shipping label along with its commercial invoice and a returning envelope from FedEx, UPS or Purolator.
4. The completed and signed Annex A attached to this correspondence, listing your current mailing address.
STEP 4: SUBMIT THE REQUIRED DOCUMENTS
 If you do not have a mailing address in Canada or the U.S.A, or if you are unable to submit the required documentation for you or your accompanying family members to the addresses below, please advise IRCC via the IRCC Web form for instructions to submit your documents to the visa office that serves the country where you are.

Please note that our office will not return passports to an address outside North America.
 If you have a mailing address in Canada, please submit by mail in a single package all required documents {including Passport(s) OR photocopy(ies) of passport(s)}, to the following address:
CPCO – PR VISA
Passports Submission
PO Box 9780
Ottawa ON
K1G 6T2
To me, your best option appears to be to send photocopies of passports to Ottawa with your Canadian return address.
Otherwise you have to send webform for submitting your mother's passport in India that will take additional time.

we had a same situation my father is in Philippines too. What I did and you should do also follow the step 4 states that if you do not have mailing address in Canada because your mom is in India, you have to send a webform.. It will take a while but unfortunately you have to wait.

Hey guys, quick question, I received my sponsor letter stating I am eligible and so on. My doubts are for the docs needed: travel doc- I had submitted my mothers passport copy as proof of relation to me, do I still have to provide it and would it include all pages of travel?
Country specific requirements:I am lost as when I press applying for it shows me options of spouse,common-law,etc and not my parents. What do i do for this requirement?
Supplementary information-your travels: Just fill form IMM 5562 for my mom as shes the ones am sponsoring?

Lastly, i just to email them travel docs, pcc, form IMM 5562 and resume?
They directly get the bio metrics and medical results and I dont need to submit anything for these?
Will appreciate the response.
Thanks

Is there anyone whose file was transferred to Mississauga but the parents are not living in Canada? the letter attached to the email from CIC say

"
You have met the requirements for eligibility as a sponsor. Accordingly, the Application for Permanent
Residence for your relative will be processed at CPC-Mississauga. This office was selected based on
your relative’s home address and the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act."

but my parents home address as I indicated on IMM0008 is outside of Canada.

Do I need to investigate why it went to Mississauga? Or they just send some to Mississauga even though they don't live in Canada.
I had received the same yesterday. Did you find an answer for the question you asked?
