Minor things about eligibility which he/she has recommended passed anyway.

Then it’s a not a big issue. Plus Ottawa is the best shot at a speedier PPR.

An immigration consultant who is awaiting his own PR.

there is an immigration consultant on these forums who got his PR recently. one of his gems -
if you renew your indian passport in canada, you should put 'country issuing passport' as 'canada'

In my experience most posts I have read about agents lead me to believe that most agents are either clueless or idiots or both. I don’t know why people pay them so much money.

Hi,

I've received a request letter about sending our passports to a Visa Application Centre (VAC). Although my application status is still showing

Application step Current status
Review of eligibility We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements.
Review of medical results You passed the medical exam.
Review of additional documents We are reviewing the additional documents you provided.
Interview You do not need an interview. We will send you a message if this changes.

Background check We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information.
Final decision Your application is in progress. We will send you a message once the final decision has been made.

Does this mean I got PPR? If yes, I read here in the forum that PPR is an email requesting for passports not a document request in my account!

Congrats buddy. I guess I missed you adding to all the case lists we have here. Good to know about your PPR.

Hi @Rijo02,
First of all, a BIG congratulations on receiving the PPR for your wife. Although the wait is not over yet, I know it's a big relief.PHEW!
To answer your question,No.My PPR letter only requests me to submit my passport along with photographs and the passport request letter within 30 days. There was no mention of any additional family information.
I have a query regarding our situation ( only the dependent being asked for passport submission). I understand from your previous posts that you had called CIC regarding this. Do you think it is important to call them for the PA to receive an interview or PPR? If so can you share the contact no that you used and the best time to call?(I haven't contacted them before, so I'm sorry if this is a repeated question).
If you think calling them is of no consequence, how long do you think we should wait and what the best move forward?
Thanks in advance!

Hey @Ash_Vish, congratulations too. It is already ending in Praise!

About the additional family information, I think that it is actually case specific. That is, since the VO asked for my marriage photos, he/she might be interested in my family. Hence, I was asked for IMM008 and Additional Family Information to still prove my case. Besides, my wife was asked to submit her passport within 15 days which is unusual. Anyways, we will submit all the required documents so there wouldn't be any reason why the processing of her visa will be delayed.

For the case of the dependent, I don't think it is necessary to contact CIC for that. I am pretty sure that the VO that sent the PPR for the spouse outside Canada had already initiated an internal request for the local CIC office to schedule appointment for the principal applicant. Although the call center agent I spoke was confused about my wife receiving the PPR letter, she confirmed with her supervisor that a local office near me will contact me for my landing.

Lets watch out and see what happens in the few weeks to come.......And please keep us updated if you hear anything from them!

Hi @hammam.. Congrats for the PPR. Must have been a long wait for with AOR of 5th APR. Wish you luck for rest of the process.

Also, was wondering if you ever ordered GCMS notes and if you did then when and what did they mention. Just trying to understand if any particular reason for delay.

@cansha @gadhvibhargav Got my GCMS notes today. Eligibility recommended as passed. I haven't read it completely as I'm busy these days with something but my file is in CPC Ottawa.

That sounds great that you are not in Montreal.
Congrats that your eligibility is recommended passed and I'm sure you would get the PPR soon.
Good luck!

 

[cansha]

Completed 5 months today ... Beginning of 6th month for me. My expectations from Montreal will start increasing starting today!
