Congrats on the PPR. I wish you happy landing. Please wish the rest of us luck.

Two days ago you mentioned that ecas is updated on Tuesdays of every week. How come you make a sudden U-Turn? I checked my ecas regularly and I have seen it updated on a sunday in the past.
That saying was quoted from CIC website ;). But no-one can predict CIC 8) 8)

Hi dear forum friends,
I am in confusion of whether to send passport of dependant(Citizen of visa exempt country). Also most of us with PPR has been asked for photo, should i be sending photos of all 2 dependant? My friend in canada call cic customer services and they said they don't require passport for visa exempt country. What do i do? In delimma...friend plz throw some of ur inputs...
Principal applicant is not from visa exempt country 1dependent also not from visa exempt country but the 2nddependent is from visa exempt country. Now the problem arises from the email i got from CIC for PPR as pasted.....
The processing of your application for permanent residence in Canada is almost complete. The following is required to complete your application.



STEP 1: STATUS CHANGE (If none of these conditions applies to you, you may proceed to STEP 2)

Has your family composition changed since our last correspondence?

· Have you married or divorced?

· Have you given birth or adopted a child?

· Do you intend to get married or divorced prior to becoming a permanent resident?

· Do you intend to give birth or adopt a child prior to becoming a permanent resident?



If any of these conditions apply, you must inform CPP-O immediately:

OttPilot-Immigration@cic.gc.ca



You will be asked to submit evidence such as a copy of the marriage, divorce, birth or adoption certificate or a letter advising when and where the marriage, divorce, birth or adoption is expected to take place. Any new spouse and/or children must be added to your application and be found admissible to Canada before your case is finalized. Failure to declare additional dependants such as a spouse or children before you become a permanent resident could result in the cancellation of your permanent resident visa. Once your file is closed, you would be required to submit a new application and pay new processing fees. Any new application would be assessed under the Act and Regulations in force at the time of its submission.



STEP 2: PASSPORT(S) REQUEST



We require a VALID passport for you and for each accompanying family member. Passports for you and all accompanying family members must be submitted together. There must be at least one blank visa page in each passport. If there are children included in your passport there must be blank visa pages for them as well.

Please note that permanent resident visas cannot be issued to holders of Diplomatic, Official or Military passports. You must obtain an ordinary passport.



If you or any of your family members are residing outside North America and you are unable to send your/their passport(s) to Canada and/or to provide a return mailing address in North America, contact us at OttPilot-Immigration@cic.gc.ca so that we can make arrangements to print visas at another office.



STEP 3: SUBMITTING DOCUMENTS If you and your dependants reside in Canada

How to Send your Documents to the Case Processing Pilot – Ottawa (CPP-O)

Please note that CPP-Ottawa does not send out passports outside of North America.



Submit all documents by MAIL in a single package. Quote your application number on your correspondence and send the package to one of the following addresses:



Canada Post:

CPP – Ottawa

PO Box 9780

Ottawa ON K1G 4B9



Courier:

CPP – Ottawa

365 Laurier Avenue West

Ottawa ON K1A 1L1



If you have a mailing address in Canada: To allow you to track your passports through the mail, we strongly recommend that you purchase two (2) PREPAID Canada Post Xpresspost envelopes (National), letter-sized (318 x 241 mm), at any Canada Post retail outlet. CPP-Ottawa accepts no responsibility for any passport lost in the mail.



- Complete the mailing label on one envelope showing your mailing address in the “Deliver To” field.

- Keep a tracking number sticker from each envelope.

- Fold and enclose the self-addressed envelope in the other envelope along with your passport(s) and a copy of this request letter.



If you do not submit a return prepaid Xpresspost envelope or if you provide an envelope from any other courier, we will return your passport by regular mail.



The requested information/documents must be received in our office within 60 days from the date of this letter. Failure to do so could result in the refusal of your application.



Final Note



The issuance of your visa(s) cannot be delayed so it is important for you to submit your passport(s) as soon as possible. An expiration date (dd/mm/yy) will be indicated on your visa and/or on your Confirmation of Permanent Residence (CoPR – IMM 5688), and you must obtain permanent residence on or before that date. The visas and CoPR cannot be extended. If you are not prepared to live permanently in Canada immediately after your permanent residence is granted, please consult the CIC website regarding your obligations to retain your status in Canada.



Sincerely,

Sincerely,
I think the letter is clear:
1. Send passport photos as requested for ALL (those in the application that will immigrate with you).
2. Send valid passports for ALL members to CIC as requested.
3. You save yourself time and any other unnecessary delay by sending passport photos and the passports to them as described in the email.
4.I'm in the same situation like you-some family members are US citizens (Visa exempt) while one is not. If I receive an email as you indicated above, I will send two passport photos for each member and enclose all valid passports, them mail them to the address provided.

**I had read somewhere as well as asked the doctor about the passport requirement (just to get an idea) and he said that the emedical photos taken can also be used for Visas*** when I get the link for the information I read online, I will definitely paste it here in the forum.
**Like I said before, when my time comes I will send everything so that they decide for themselves what they need.***** This is just my view****

Hi Everyone

I have been a silent observer of this forum which has been very helpful. I finally completed my landing on 25-Jan-2014 after waiting for 4 years. Following are the details of my application

Initial Application to CIO: 25-Jan-2010
Detailed Application: Mar-2010
Added wife to application: Oct-2010
Medical Request: 28-June-2013
Passport Request: 27-December-2013
Passport Sent: 13-Jan-2014
Passport Received: 24-Jan-2014
Landed: 25-Jan-2014

My e-cas still hasn't been updated. It just shows "In Process" with the following lines in the detail

We received your application for permanent residence on January 25, 2010.

We reviewed your application and sent you a letter on March 17, 2010. Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting us.

Your application and supporting documents were received by the Buffalo office. They are pending review.

We transferred your application to the Buffalo office on March 24, 2010. The Buffalo office may contact you.

Your application was reviewed and we started processing on October 26, 2011.

I completed my landing by going to the carway border south of Calgary. The landing process in forums seemed quite simple. You go to the US border, get a refusal to enter USA and come back to land in Canada. The process turned out to be a nightmare for me as for some reason my name was flagged in the US system and the USA border detained us for 6 hours. Once they let us go, it took us 15 mins to complete our landing at the Canada border.

I wish all the best to the forum members and hope you all get your PR soon.
