Any update from Indian residents whose file is in VO Ottawa and waiting for PPR? Our file is approved in April 2020 and waiting for PPR. Indian resident

Yes, an Indian resident, VO-Ottawa. I am an inland applicant. IRCC landed me virtually and gave the PR status in June. I applied for PRTD in June as I am out of Canada and have not received PPR till now.

There is some exemption from the current travel restriction for the COPR issued after 18th March 2020......may be those agents were telling about that.

Would you please share more information about the exemptions?

I have a similar timeline with you. My visa will expire in March 2021. Actually, there is not much time left but the border is not yet open. I have no idea whether I should book the flights before March 2021, or shall I wait until Feb, 2021....

Why would you receive PPR when you're already given the PR status? What you're waiting for is PR card not PPR!

Today, I received response for the web form raised on November 7 to submit e-medical information sheet for new medicals done the same day. Usually, they respond after a week but this time they taking more than two weeks. Could it be intentional delay for re-medicals?

Hey guys,

Is anyone else facing a time out issue when trying to log in to their profile? Is there some kind of maintenance activity going on today?

Did you receive a separate email or just a response email to your webform? If its just a response to your webform then it would be an IRCC agent who is advising you to upload the Medical info sheet.

I too received the response today regarding my webform after more than 2 weeks. It does not look like a delay its their usual response time these days.

I received my PPR letter on 7th November and at the same day I received two way courier service email for me to send my passport and required documents. The letter says that I need to send my passport within 30 days of receiving PPR email and I haven't received payment link email and I have only 13 days left. So, what should I do?

Please help as I am little worried

Warm Regards

Call VFS. I am not sure why you waited for so long.

Why would you receive PPR when you're already given the PR status? What you're waiting for is PR card not PPR!

I meant to say that I am waiting for passport submission request letter from IRCC so that I can get my passport stamped from VAC India . Even if I have been given PR status but in order to travel back I need visa on my passport as I do not have pr card yet so I am waiting for that kind of letter from IRCC which instruct me to submit the passport to VAC.
To get pr card I had to submit the photograph which I am unable to do as I am out of Canada.
