As long as you have informed the relevant office that you are in Canada, you should be fine. Once you've sent the webform you've done as obliged and are waiting for your turn.

I can see this is an old thread but it may help someone to add my experience with this - I changed my name legally by deed poll (UK) after getting married in Canada and returning to my home country, but before we submitted our application. I ensured I had a new passport, driver's license, and...

I contacted them via webform as requested in my PPR email, but they do have a contact email listed on that page if you need it! Go through the webform instructions, say your case is being processed outside of Canada, and then select London.

depending on your Visa Office you may not receive an acknowledgment email at all. My PPR was on the 9th Feb, I messaged London VO same day, and today my PR portal email came through. Just a little more patience is required. To be at this stage is good news.. end is in sight for us all <3

I believe you need an acknowledgement email (AOR) before you are able to create an account on this portal. Even online applications need to be looked at before the info goes on their system .... as I understand it anyway. We were a paper app and couldn't use ECAS for months.

We got our pre-arrival letter only two days after my medical request, and I didn't have time to give the exam yet. As mentioned above they seem to be processed close together. Keep eyes open for the email soon <3

I'm aware they are a new thing and I'm struggling to find info specific to this situation. Just a desperate attempt to keep this giddy/sick/anxious feeling under control! We will wait for next steps now and apply online for extension only if need be, close to end of May. Thanks again.

Hi, our submission was received Aug 12th 2021. My husband is sponsoring me from Quebec, and we are approaching the end of our timeline. The only differences between Quebec sponsorship and the rest of Canada to my knowledge were: A) we did not have to give detailed sponsor information on initial...

Thank you for your reply! It's helpful to have that general time frame. Do you know if virtual landing will be like the inland invitations to the new PR portal?

Hi everyone, on the 9th Feb I received a passport request email from the VAC in london. I am currently in Canada with my husband, on ETA visitor status. I am able to stay here until May 23rd without requesting extension. In the email they request I contact them (the London office) via webform...

For me this is an issue of anxiety, and if I cannot get an exact answer, I am really just looking for timeline information. Thank you.

We have called the Services Canada helpline and they were unable to confirm if I can give biometrics inside Canada as a visitor. They have said to call IRCC, who we also cannot get hold of, so we are back to square one. :confused: I am of course happy to wait a few weeks for a letter, I'm just...

Thank you, I think one thread was from 2015 so it's possible it was outdated info too. I have the option to book with service Canada but I'm worried about eligibility. It's an 8 hr flight back to the VAC in the UK and plus added expense of testing for COVID and hotels, I'm really anxious about...

Threads from this site, mentioning having to travel to USA or their home countries while visiting Canada. My husband is going to call the service Canada line tomorrow as I won't travel without confirmation they will take me... thought he had done this but turns out he was calling IRCC direct...

Hi, thank you so much for a quick response. I have been able to verify that I can give medicals from inside Canada as I have contacted some clinics, however it is extremely difficult to verify about the biometrics. Is there any official source you can point me to that would verify this? Or any...
