Check the submitted documents in your application and you will see additional folders there for submitting photos and bio page of passport. Only if you or any of your dependent are not visa free, then you have to forward passport.
Vensak, for example me and my dependent are not visa free, do we need to upload passports and photos or just to send them via mail? other confusing thing is that they only request to upload my passport and photo.

Check step 3 and section A

They are suppose to request passports there. that means to send them by mail. you shall also have adress of VAC in that PDF that you can contact in Macedonia. Or you can order UPS.
Good luck

Thanks for your quick reply. What confused me is when i opened view submitted application section there were the additional folders for uploading passport and photo, so i didn't know whether beside sending passports in Vienna I need to upload these two items on my profile.

vensak thanks once again. I checked the submitted documents in my application and the only additional folders there are for my, PA photos (no passport folder, and absolutely nothing for my dependents); so I guess that is all they need, but what about the first page of the PPR letter?

BTW, my BGC has finally changed to We are processing your application.

Question about Annex A that we are supposed to send with our passports...

Where do I mention the address? It says 'address mentioned below'.. but apparently there is a box to the right that has space to mention address. Am I misunderstanding something?

Thanks

If neither you nor your accompanying family are from visa free country, you will not have any additional folders there.
If some members are visa free, those will also get additional folders further in the application.
In that case I would suggest to upload passport scan and also photos there and of course send passport as well (since they still ask for it).

Only if all family members are visa free, then all you need is to upload passport scans and photos and thats it.

My situation is the second described, so I am doing both - uploading and sending my passport on the top.

Annex A is for your address reconfirmation (apparently not all embassies are using it). So just print it and fill in your address again.

And tphil, stay calm, use your AOR to get BOWP, they just take their time to release PNP inlanders, but it will happen soon.

Can any experts advise if the validity of PR Card is related to Passport validity? I mean my Passport is valid till Nov. 2019 so that means I'll get the PR Card till end of 2019 or it'll be for 5 years?

Sorry if its a dumb question because I dont anything about this at all!
Hi,

Can anyone please share their views/opinions on this?

I submitted fixed (term) deposit certificate and bank letter for proof of funds. Now whilst waiting for PR, some of these deposits have matured (i.e. interest gained) and been renewed with the same account numbers and values and I created a new deposit also. Do I need to submit new certificates and bank letter? My only worry is that the bank letter and certificates state a maturity date.

All I have so far is medicals passed- no other changes, so I don't know whether this aspect of my application has been reviewed yet (GCMS notes on the way).

No they are not, why would they needed to be like that?
The only moment then you need valid passport for Canada is by your first landing. After that you will be using your PR card.

It is probably because I have visitor visa in my old passport which expiry date is 2019. So I uploaded the passport bio page and the photo, but i also sent the passport.

No need to do anything. if they see the maturity date they will ask you to show updated funds or else you are fine.
