Just got news from our lawyer. Here's what the email said : Dear JESSICA LEEANN SEYLE:
We are pleased to inform you that the processing of your application for permanent residence in Canada has been completed.
You are required to submit your passport(s), photographs by MAIL within the next sixty (60) days from the date of this letter. As the validity of your visa(s) has been already established and is limited to a fixed date, it CANNOT be extended under any circumstances. We therefore urge you to read and follow carefully the instructions below without delay:
PLEASE NOTE: Failure to provide the required travel document(s) within 60 days from the date of this letter will lead us to conclude that you are no longer interested in immigrating to Canada and your application will be refused based the information that is available in your file. Once the application is refused, you would be able to reapply, but you would be required to submit a new application and pay a new processing fee. The new application would be assessed according to the Canadian Immigration legislations in force at the time that the new application was filed.


I have a few worries though. We had our daughter in September and have yet to receive her passport. My husband is a canadian citizen by birth so Ive heard mixed stories about not having to add her to the application. Also, My children and I have passport cards not books. Will this be an issue ? Please any help would be appreciated.

Unless your husband was born outside Canada (which it does not sound like it is the case), your daughter is a Canadian citizen by birth. She does not need to be added to your application, though you can advise the visa office at the same time you submit your passport.

Here is what ENF 4 "Border Procedures" says about foreign nationals seeking to become permanent residents:

12.4. Documents required by foreign nationals seeking permanent resident status R50(1) specifies the type of passport, travel or identity document that an applicant must have in their possession to be given permanent resident status. This document is necessary to verify the identity of the person seeking permanent residence. R50(2) provides that protected persons who have been issued a permanent resident visa may become permanent residents when it is not possible for them to obtain a passport, identity or travel document.

And here is what R50(1) from IRPR says:

50. (1) In addition to the permanent resident visa required of a foreign national who is a member of a class referred to in subsection 70(2), a foreign national seeking to become a permanent resident must hold

(a) a passport, other than a diplomatic, official or similar passport, that was issued by the country of which the foreign national is a citizen or national;

(b) a travel document that was issued by the country of which the foreign national is a citizen or national;

(c) an identity or travel document that was issued by a country to non-national residents, refugees or stateless persons who are unable to obtain a passport or other travel document from their country of citizenship or nationality or who have no country of citizenship or nationality;

(d) a travel document that was issued by the International Committee of the Red Cross in Geneva, Switzerland, to enable and facilitate emigration;

(e) a passport or travel document that was issued by the Palestinian Authority;

(f) an exit visa that was issued by the Government of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics to its citizens who were compelled to relinquish their Soviet nationality in order to emigrate from that country;

(g) a passport issued by the United Kingdom to a British National (Overseas), as a person born, naturalized or registered in Hong Kong;

(h) a passport issued by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China; or

(i) a passport issued by the United Kingdom to a British Subject.

So a passport card does constitute a limited use travel document (good for ground or marine travel but not air travel) and thus I'm not sure if they will accept it or not. Your attorney should be able to tell you if this is the case.
