Hello Everyone ,
I sponsored my mum for PR . My visa office is Accra and they are now requesting for police certificate and her International Passport at the same time. The problem is she is now in Canada and will be here for a year. The question is can she submit the requested docs and passport to cic ottawa? Please I need help because cost of going home is very expensive.
Hey, send a message to CIC Accra using the web form and tell them the situation
I did the same and I was told to submit police certificate online and wait for Ottawa passport request(which came after one month)

Hi everyone,

My parents received PPR on Sep 25. They are instructed to send their passports to Ottawa. Given that they are currently residing outside of Canada, they can not send their passport to Ottawa at this point in time. I have contacted the cic through web form. However, I have not yet heard back from them. Does anyone have a similar experience? Do you know what will happen now?

TIA
We have same situation, I also submitted webform 4 times and before that PPR when my father went back home I already submitted a webform updating the current residential address. Now we pass the 30 days deadline still no enlightenment. Did IRCC reply to you already?

Hello,
Seeing Decision made for PA in ECAS, received Pre-Arrival letter on the same day in GcKey. But, no further update in GcKey or no email.
Can you please advise, how long it will take to get the PPR.
Local VISA office is Singapore

Every case is different. As far as i know, you/Your mum should be able to submitt docs and passports in Canada itself. You don't need to go back etc.

I have sponsored my parents under PGP 2019. Their file is at advanced stage.
Like many parents, my parents also have assets including real estate, mutual funds, govt bonds, gold and bank accounts in home country (India).
They are already here in Canada on Visitor Visas and most likely will complete their landing formalities by flag poling or at Etobicoke.
It will take them approx 3 years to liquidate all their assets in home country and bring/transfer funds to Canada.
What kind of declaration is to be made at the border at the time of flag poling/Etobicoke to avoid future tax implications?
Will appreciate if someone can share experience/insight.
