Hello! Any applicant from Manila Philippines here? Any update on your application? I am already PPR but I can't send my passport as the Manila and Cebu visa offices haven't resumed operation yet.
You can send to any of the vac’s listed in your PPR letter
My country’s vac doesn’t receive passports now, so I emailed LVO and I was asked to send to the vac’s listed in my letter or I want to my country’s vac to open

Were you also receiving updates on your application tracker???

I don’t know if the courier process has changed or not. We sent my husbands passport on sept 3...and since then the only status that shows up is “has been dispatched to IRCC through abu Dhabi visa office..” did you receive any updates..if you could please reply with Dates and details I’d really appreciate it.

we need to travel soon and have to book tickets..last time it took us 16 days from date of submitting passport to receiving it but we got updates from like the very next day that it has been received at Abu Dhabi and then forwarded. So just a little concerned right now.

thanks for your help!

How do you know an application is in cold storage?
Just got another reply from immigration. Background check not yet complete after 16 months. No available processing time. Only essential services being provided so I think now Jan is a very optimistic target, maybe have to think about Sept 2021 as possibly when it will be processed.

Update ish- we emailed LVO and told them that the PA is already in Canada on a visitor visa. They replied saying the application is almost done and will be forwarded to a Canadian office, and they'll contact us in the coming weeks to schedule a landing appointment.
So I guess that's good news although I'm sure there's a long wait for landing appointments.
Anyone know if flag-poling is even an option these days?
How long did the reply take please?

Could you clarify? You received the passport request? Read it carefully, there should be instructions there on where to send in Ottawa if principal applicant is in Canada.

If not, you could certainly contact the visa office that sent the passport request.

It is a spousal application, i am PR and sponsored my spouse he just arrived canada last week on a visitors visa and today received copr request letter.
I have contacted Accra via web form/email address asking if they can send paperwork/copr to Ottawa so we can send passport there because i don’t think we can send passport to Nigeria while in Canada.

That letter is usually referred to as the passport request letter, that's what confused me.

Read it again, carefully - at least in some, there are instructions to send either to the regional visa office, OR to Ottawa. In one I'm looking at, Step 4 says submit your documents; sub-step 1 to regional office; 2 - In Canada to the Case Processing Centre CPC-O (more details), submitting your documents in Canada.
