Dont worry, we all did that and got passport back with courier too. No one here did it in person.
Thank you for the response. I contacted the VAC in Istanbul. They confirmed that, contrary to the PPR email, they do not accept documents in person. All documents, passport included, should be sent via courier. The 30-day deadline is also waived.

I have a question guys, so how you would know if they extended your medical exam, are we suppose to receive a message or they’ll do that automatically without giving any notice?.

Hi
I received an email from the Canadian Embassy in Ankara, asking me to put the passport and the liabilities in the office personally, and with a warning not to sell it by mail, and when I called the office in Istanbul to make an appointment, they told me to deliver by mail, what should I do?
I have now sent the office an email with the embassy letter requesting a passport.
Please help
Thank you

I was facing the same dilemma. However, Visa application centers (VAC) in turkey do not let applicants attend personally to submit passports regardless of what's been stated in the IRCC passport request e-mail. They are, instead, advised to do the following

If you have a passport request letter, please send us the following documents by courier.

- Consent form (attached)
- Transmission payment receipt
- Courier payment receipt
- Your passport
- Letter print out
- 2 photos (50*70mm)
- The courier address, recipient name, and your contact information on a piece of paper. (including your e-mail address)

Addresses: https://visa.vfsglobal.com/tur/en/can/
Information on bank transfer:
Bank Account Name: Gateway Management Lojistik A.S.
Bank Name: Garanti BBVA
BIC / SWIFT Code: TGBATRIS
IBAN: TR97 0006 2001 6710 0006 2981 42 (TL)
TR90 0006 2001 6710 0009 0781 91 (CAD)

*Disclaimer: The best thing is to contact your local VAC (Istanbul/Ankara) personally via either phone (+90 212 373 58 07) or e-mail and ask for instruction before undertaking any action.

Hello Friends,
I just checked my GCKey account:

"A final decision has been made. Please see the final decision below.
Latest update:
Final decision - October 21, 2020:Your application was approved. Check your messages below for details.
We're done processing your application "

Still has not received any e-mail and tracking status is still under process. So still waiting :)
Wish you all to hear good news soon my friends.
Congrats, Is your application spousal sponsorship? I just want to make sure they are processing these types of PR too; thanks

No, we haven't got any updates yet and that's why I've bought a flight ticket for my wife and she came to Turkey to be with me for now. We have decided to have a vacation for a month while waiting for the decision, so she is here now with me and still no update and still waiting for non-sense process time.
Any update on your interview?

We got the passport back. The PR visa is valid for about 10 months from now.
Congrats man :)
I've received mine by monday and exactly the visa is valid for ten months.
Hope everyone else in this group get updates on their applications.

Congratulations guys. So, I’m wondering you guys medical exam one year validity was expired when you sent your passport to the embassy or they renewed it for you?. Because, mine just passed the one year few days ago and my passport is still in the embassy and didn’t get any updates yet, so I’m wondering what they will do in this case. Thanks
