Hello Waqashz,
My medicals were done on 24th June and I send PRPF and PCC on 7th July. Hello Avr
I pasted "Passports request letter".
REQUEST FOR PASSPORTS, PHOTOGRAPHS AND UPDATED INFORMATION
This letter requests that you submit your passport, and the passports of your accompanying dependents, as well as photographs and updated information within 60 days so that we can issue your permanent resident visa(s). Please read each section carefully, and follow the instructions provided. Do not take any irrevocable action such as selling property, resigning employment, or making travel arrangements until you have received your passport(s) and permanent resident visa(s).
Section 1 – Instructions: Preparing Your Passport(s), Photographs and Updated Information
1. ENSURE THAT YOUR PASSPORT AND THE PASSPORTS OF EACH OF YOUR ACCOMPANYING FAMILY MEMBERS CONFORM TO THE SPECIFICATIONS LISTED ON THE REVERSE SIDE OF THIS PAGE. If any of the passports submitted do not conform to these specifications, the visas will not be issued, and all passports will be returned to you for correction. You will be required to re-submit all of the passports once they meet our specifications. This type of delay will shorten the amount of time that you will have to travel to Canada to become a permanent resident. Please see point 5 for important information about the validity of your permanent resident visa.
2. ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE 2 RECENT PHOTOGRAPHS OF YOURSELF, AND 2 RECENT PHOTOGRAPHS OF EACH OF YOUR DEPENDENTS. The photos must conform to the specifications listed on the reverse side of this page.
3. COMPLETE EACH SECTION OF THE UPDATED INFORMATION CHART IN SECTION 2 OF THIS LETTER. The information provided on the Updated Information Chart should be the same as the information in your passport.
For example, if your surname is “Smith”, this name should appear on the Surname line of the bio-page of your passport, and in the Surname column on the Updated Information Chart. Your permanent resident visa will be issued to match the information that appears in your passport. This will be the name that appears on all of your documents after you become a permanent resident of Canada.
4. SUBMIT YOUR PASSPORT, PHOTOS AND INFORMATION WITHIN 60 DAYS OF THE DATE OF THIS LETTER. Please see section 3 of this letter for information regarding submitting your passports, photos and information.
5. READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION ABOUT THE VALIDITY OF YOUR PERMANENT RESIDENT VISA. Unless your passport expires on an earlier date, your visas will expire one year from the date of your medical examinations.
You must enter Canada on or before this date. If your passport, or any of your family members’ passports, are due to expire before this date, all visas will expire on the same date that the shortest passport expires.
THE VALIDITY OF A PERMANENT RESIDENT VISA CAN NOT BE EXTENDED, NOR CAN A REPLACEMENT VISA BE ISSUED WITH A NEW VALIDITY DATE. IF YOU DO NOT PROVIDE US WITH YOUR PASSPORT(S) BEFORE THE EXPIRY OF YOUR VISA OR YOU DO NOT USE YOUR VISA(S) BEFORE THEIR EXPIRY DATE, AND YOU STILL WISH TO IMMIGRATE TO CANADA, YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT A NEW APPLICATION AND PROCESSING FEE. A NEW APPLICATIONWOULD BE ASSESSED ACCORDING TO THE IMMIGRATION ACT AND REGULATIONS IN FORCE AT THAT TIME.
Sincerely,
High Commission of Canada

Section 3 – Instructions: Submitting Your Passport(s), Photographs and Updated Information
A. PACKAGES SUBMITTED BY COURIER OR MAIL
You must send all of the items listed below. Please use the address label included with this letter when you send your documents.
1. A self-addressed envelope that is at least 21cm x 30cm (8.5” x 12”).
2. Your passport and the passports of each of your accompanying dependents. All passports must be submitted at the same time.
3. The completed Updated Information Chart from Section 2 of this letter.
4. 2 photographs of you and 2 photographs of each of your dependents accompanying you to
Canada. The photographs must not be stapled, glued or pinned; they can be paper-clipped or enclosed in a small envelope. Please write your file number and the name of the person on the back of their photo.
NOTE: When the Immigration Division in London returns passports to applicants in the Gulf countries they are first sent to the Canadian Embassy in the appropriate region. The Embassy in Abu Dhabi is responsible for sending documents within the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar, Yemen and Oman. The Embassy in Riyadh is responsible for sending documents within Saudi Arabia. Packages are sent to each embassy from the London office twice a week as required. When the packages are received at the respective visa offices, embassy staff contacts the applicant to confirm how they would like their passports delivered. This process ensures that passports are returned securely to our applicants. Applicants should expect to be without their passports for 30 working days (6 weeks).
Do not contact either the London office or the offices in Riyadh and Abu Dhabi before 30 working days have passed as this only serves to slow the process.
In the unlikely event that you have not heard from us and it has been at least 30 working days (6 weeks) since you submitted your passport(s) and other items, you may contact us by e-mail. Our e-mail address is available on our website at www.canada.org.uk.
B. PACKAGES SUBMITTED IN PERSON
You must bring the items listed below:
1. Your passport and the passports of each of your accompanying dependents.
All passports must be submitted at the same time.
2. The completed chart from Section 2 of this letter.
3. 2 photographs of you and 2 photographs of each of your dependents accompanying you to
Canada. The photographs must not be stapled, glued or pinned; they can be paper-clipped or enclosed in a small envelope. Please write your file number and the name of the person on the back of their photo.
Please note that in-person permanent resident visa service is only available on THURSDAYS between 2:00pm and 3:00 pm. You may collect your passport TEN working days (the second Thursday, 2:00pm to 3:00pm) following the date you submitted your package. When you submit the items listed above, you will be given a receipt acknowledging that we have received a package from you. You must bring this receipt when you collect your passport(s) and visa(s). You may nominate someone else to collect your passport(s) and visa(s) but that person must present the receipt that was issued to you, a letter from you authorizing them to collect your passport(s) and one piece of identification that includes their name and photograph.
