So we can only hope that the PPR is months before our trip in September 8...or after we return October 14. If not it will ruin our already paid travel plans?
i hope there is a way to get an extension..if only for 30 days or something.
Just sharing based on previous posts I've read (not sure if it's on this thread or the other thread of Spouse/Family Class Timeline Manila-- can't remember), that when CIC or CEM makes a request of add'l docs, yes, you are given 30 days to comply. But there was one who said that you can ask for extension if said time frame won't be enough.
My thoughts and suggestions would be:
1. You might want to notify them by email a month prior to your travel dates that you will be travelling if in any case you get notified of sending them your passport.
2. If in any case there is no PPR yet and it is already your scheduled travel, just continue checking everyday while you are on a trip of a possible PPR.
3. If you get notified of PPR while on a trip, you may either cut your trip off, or, email them back immediately of a possible extension. Unless the remaining days you have left while on a trip is good enough for you to return and still comply within the said time frame they will ask you to send your passport.
I can tell that this matter is quite stressful. But don't get stressed out too much. Stay being cool, confident, positive and smile
Go with the flow.
