Dear Applicants name,

The processing of your application for permanent residence in Canada is almost complete. You must complete the following steps within 30 days in order for our office to issue your Confirmation of Permanent Residence and if applicable, permanent residence visa. If for any reason you are not able to meet this deadline, please inform us immediately by email and include the details of your situation.

STEP 1: CHANGES IN YOUR APPLICATION

Has your family composition or personal circumstances changed? Changes include:

· Marriage or common-law union, divorce, annulment, legal separation or death of the sponsor, principal applicant or any accompanying family member;
· Birth or adoption of a child, including grandchildren born to dependent children;
· You or any of your family members being charged or convicted of a criminal offence.

If any of these conditions apply, you are required to inform our office immediately. If available, please include in your email the evidence that supports the change and send it to CPC-CTD-Ottawa @ cic.gc.ca

STEP 2: PASSPORTS AND PHOTOS
Please note that Confirmations of Permanent Residence and visas cannot be issued to holders of Diplomatic, Official or Military passports. You must have an ordinary passport.

1. Determine whether you require a visa to enter Canada at www.cic.gc.ca/ENGLISH/visit/visas.asp

Visa Required

Visa Exempt

2. Passport(s)
· For you and for each accompanying family member
· Passports must be valid for at least 6 months and have at least two blank pages
· If a child is included on your passport, you must have one blank page per accompanying child

Citizens of visa-required countries who are permanent residents of the US are still required to submit their original passport(s).

2. A PHOTOCOPY of your passport(s)

· One photocopy for you and one for each accompanying family member.
· Photo page only & amendment pages, if any
· Passports must be valid for at least 6 months

DO NOT SEND YOUR ORIGINAL PASSPORT(S)
3. Two (2) photos for each accompanying family member
See our specifications at www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/pdf/5445EB-e.pdf
STEP 3: SUBMITTING DOCUMENTS FROM CANADA OR THE US

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

1. Gather the following documents:

ÿ Passport(s) OR passport photocopy(ies)
ÿ Photos (2 per person)
ÿ One copy of this letter
ÿ One self-addressed envelope* with your complete mailing address for us to return your passport(s) and Confirmation(s) of Permanent Residence
ÿ One envelope* addressed to our office to send your package
*Please refer to the instructions in the table below.

Incorrect mailing addresses could result in your passport(s) being lost. Our office accepts no responsibility for documents lost in the mail.

2. Submit all documents by mail in a single package:

ÿ Enclose your passport(s) or passport photocopy(ies), photos, copy of this letter and folded self-addressed envelope in the envelope with our mailing address;
ÿ Send your correspondence in accordance with the instructions that are specific to the country where you have a mailing address:

If you have a mailing address in Canada
If you have a mailing address in the US
3. You must purchase two prepaid Xpresspost envelopes, one self-addressed and one addressed to our office.

4. Keep a tracking number sticker from each envelope.

5. Send your package by Canada Post to the following address:
CPC – Ottawa
PO Box 9780
Ottawa ON
K1G 4B9
3. If you are sending passport(s): You must send us a self-addressed prepaid envelope from a courier that operates from Canada to the United States.

If you are NOT sending passport(s): You can send us your documents by regular mail.

4. Send your package to the following address:

CPC – Ottawa

Hey guys! anyone knows anything about the AAIT approval letter. My spouse applied to Alberta Apprenticeship and Industry Training from here in Jamaica and have gotten his approval letter to work as a Millwright in Alberta. Trying to get a job offer but nothing up to now. I suspect it is easier to get through Express Entry if you are already on a work permit. Are all you guys applying from there in Canada?

Does he have a certificate of qualification?

Most of us in this thread are in Canada. I'm in Jamaica and I submitted my passport to the Canadian High Commission yesterday.

I didn't see anywhere that asked for date of birth on the pic. What it asked for was the date the picture was taken and the photographer's info.

The PR card photo specs asks for DOB, not the PPR photo specs.
