Congrats!

There will be a file (in your CIC account) which you'll have to print and send alongside your passport and photos.
If you provide your passport to Istanbul they will forward it to Ankara anyway. So I suggest you go to Ankara directly.
In my case there was no option to send the passport by mail. You'll have to present it either personally or by your authorized representative.

Good luck!

Guys...

So sorry for the late updates.

I have received my PPR on Apr 7th.
Sent passport to Ottawa VO on Apr 8th.
Return tracked activated on Apr 13th.
Got the passport back on Apr 17th.
Did the landing procedures on Prescott border on Apr 17th.

Landing process was smooth. We entered the USA border. USA immigration refused our arrival and asked us to go back to Canada. Handed us a letter that we need to show at Canadian immigration.

Canadian immigration personnel asked us to provide with our passports, copr and our work permits. And the security officer said the magic words, "Congratulations, you are immigrants of Canadian now".

Thanks everyone for the support on this process.

It should be at the end of your email. Gmail truncates the mail. so you may need to click on show more to view the entire mail.

They'll update your account with this form (Request for Submission of Passports).
You'll have to print it out, fill it in, and submit it with your documents.

What do instructions in the email say?

They have sent me a word file at the end of which there is a form ( passport submission form).
The whole letter doesn't have any formal sign or reference number, apart from my Express Entry number.

Guys,
I got my GCMS notes on March 31, this is what the Assessment says

Eligibility: Passed
Security:
HIRV:
Criminality: Passed
Org Crime:
Medical: Passed
Misrepresentation:
Other Reqs:
Final: Approved


I am not sure what this Final means as I have not received any update on my CIC profile or any email. Not sure what is going on, where is the gap?
