My background check turns to IP2 today. Timelines in my signature below

Btw, I have just seen a new field: Biometrics: We do not need your fingerprints, we will send you a messages if this changes. Is it reaaly something new or it's because that I didn't pay attention to that field?
Yes it's something new

Hi guys, sorry to post here as Im not sure this is the good thread ...

I got the PPR and got requested to send to my LVO (Paris) :
- the 1st page of the instruction letter
- 2 photos of each member included in the PR application
- the photocopy of passport
- letter outlining the height and eye color of each applicant

so basically, i have not been requested to send the original passports ... so I would just like to know, how am I supposed to receive the COPR ?

Will Paris office send the COPR by post mail ? or courier ? or by email ? or through my CIC account ?

I hope someone could help me on this one.

Thank you in advance

Possible if you are a visa exempt national. Check if your passport is from one of the visa exempt nations.

Are you sure its the final PPR email? I know someone who received a request for a copy of the passport 2 months before PPR. The PPR email is titled (Final request)
 
Hi All,

One of my friend recently received his passport request but his passport is expiring in August. Since he is already in Canada should he just go ahead and send his passport?
 
Hi All,

he needs to give his new passport, i doubt they will stamp visa on a passport expiring in less than 2 months.

anyway check with VO first if they will accept it,
 
I don't get it what is instruction letter?

Are you sure its the final PPR email? I know someone who received a request for a copy of the passport 2 months before PPR. The PPR email is titled (Final request)

on May 22nd, I received a noreply email stating that there is a change in my CIC account. I checked in my CIC account and there was a letter stating this :

<<<QUOTE
Dear Madam/Sir,

We are ready to issue the permanent resident visa that entitles you to enter Canada. The following information is required to complete your application.
If you do not respond within 30 days from the date of this letter (or before the expiry date of the visas, whichever comes first), your file will be closed.

STATUS CHANGE
Has your family composition changed since our last correspondence?
 Have you gotten 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 the Paris office at: parisimmigration@
international.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 can be 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 and/or prevent you from sponsoring your
dependants in the future. 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.

So I believe this is the PPR and this is also what I call the "instruction letter" because Paris office clearly instructs me what to do ...

But my question is mainly, since I have been requested to send only photocopy of passport (not originals) => will I receive the COPR through email or my CIC account ? or will I still receive the COPR by normal post mail or courier ?
