I am getting mixed responses on other threads, Can experts please advise me if the passport needs to be sent (or) not

I am an applicant living in Canada on my PGWP (Birth place : India). I am not sure if I need to send my passport to CPCO (Ottawa center) or just photocopies of passport pages with amendments. The letter received from CIC is kind of confusing.

Just want to confirm sending passport is only required for Outland applicants and not for Inland applicants. Please advise me if I need to send my passport.


Email received from CIC below:-

STEP 2: DETERMINE IF YOU NEED TO SUBMIT YOUR PASSPORT(S)

· Determine whether you require a visa to enter Canada at www.cic.gc.ca/ENGLISH/visit/visas.asp.

· If you require a visa to enter Canada:

You will need to submit the passport for you and for each accompanying family member. Your passport(s) must be valid for at least 6 months and have at least two blank pages. If a child is included on your passport, you must have one blank page per accompanying child.

Please note that if you are permanent residents of the U.S.A. AND holders of passports from countries which require visa to enter Canada, you are still required to submit your passport(s).

· If you do not require a visa to enter Canada:

You will need to submit one photocopy of the photo page and any pages containing amendments of the passport for you and one for each accompanying family member. Please do not send your passport(s). Your passport(s) must be valid for at least 6 months.

Please note that Confirmation of Permanent Residence documents and permanent residence visas cannot be issued to holders of Diplomatic, Official or Military passports. You must have an ordinary passport.
