Since both my spouse and I reside OUTSIDE Canada at the moment, we asked CPC-Ottawa to make arrangements to have our CoPR delivered by a local visa office [Paris, France].

Has anyone experienced the same thing ? and had to transfer file from CPC-Ottawa to a local VO outside Canada ?
Could you please indicate how long Ottawa took to respond to your email request and if they did confirm the visa office change ?
Curious about how long that process takes since I only have 28 days left according to my PPR letter... ::)

Commonly faced challenge by outlanders under EE. CIC typically takes anywhere from 2 days to 2 weeks to reply to this request.

Someone had posted this link as well, have a look ---> http://www.cic.gc.ca/submit-envoyer/offices-bureaux-eng.asp
Thanks Asivad !

Does anyone know if the local VO sends another PPR ?
If yes, is it directly by email or through MyCIC ?
If not, did you send a copy of the Ottawa PPR to your local VO ?

How long did it take (after Ottawa confirmed the VO change) for the new PPR to be received on your MyCIC ?

Asivad mentioned the VO change might take 2 full weeks.
If it's 2 additional weeks that makes 28 days and the deadline is 30 days...

That's a bit confusing and... scary...

It took me a day. I have to change mine from Ottawa to Singapore VO for me and Philippine VO for my dependents. Try sending them an email during canada office hours to avoid your email from being piled over. And yes, you should receive an email on your mycic (and personal email). PPR letter content should come from the visa office you requested.

Thanks :)
On the new PPR, did they give you a new 30-day deadline or did they keep the same deadline from the 1st PPR ?

I received PPR today, it has stated that:"If you or any of your accompanying family members are outside Canada or the United States, please contact CPC-CTD-Ottawa@cic.gc.ca so that we can make arrangements to issue the documents at a local visa office." I also have to change VO, wish for a prompt reply.

i got ppr on aug7, sent for VO change on thesame day thru the ottawa e-mail address.

got a a new letter in mycic & also thru e-mail from the right VO on aug 11. This new letter had 15days to submit though, guess it might be peculiar to my visa office.

sent doc to LVO on the same day.

all the best guys.

hi there friend... i have been searching for a case like yours on the forum for many days now...

while i still wait for my PPR and i know it's gonna be a while as i submitted my application just a couple of weeks ago... this thing about visa office for stamping has been a constant thought in my head...

i am in Canada and spouse is in home country... when you receive PPR it says this....

If you OR any of your accompanying family members are outside Canada or the United States, please contact CPC-CTD-Ottawa @ cic.gc.ca so that we can make arrangements to issue the documents at a local visa office.

Now how does it work in the case when Principal Applicant is in Canada and the spouse in the home country? how did you do it...

I have sent an an email to CPT-CTD@ottawa... I did it, a generic reply: please have a look on EE website of fill the form. I filled the form to ask...

Many thanks
