Hi i received pre arrival letter on 19 th dec, still no update vo missisaunga what about yours??
I got mine pre arrival letter on 13 th dec and their is no update till yesterday. I got physical letter (PPR) yesterday but date printed on letter was 13th dec and I got letter on 27 Dec. So it may be postal delay or check your postal box once. ECAS shows only decision made. Their is no line regarding PPR issued. I hope you get letter soon.

It said in order to finalise his application, he is to send his passport to VFS Global (safe and secure passport transmission company- they will secure our passports and send it to the High Commission for us). They also asked for 2 more photos and they had a section about planning ahead.

"As you are now in a possession of a Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR), or have
been notified to submit your travel documents in preparation for the issuance of a COPR, you
are strongly encouraged to obtain free pre-arrival services funded by Immigration, Refugees
and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). A variety of online services and in-person sessions are
available to you, your spouse and your dependants. These services will help you understand life
in Canada, employment and how to access other free settlement services once you arrive."
My question is, we have submitted my wifes passport for visa stamping. Is it mandatory to register for any of the pre-arrival services since we have not.

Not sure if anyone answered you yet but no you cannot file spousal sponsorship online. It MUST BE ND ONLY DONE BY PAPER. ( For now).

While am a december AoR checking in previous groups because they have been through most of the phases on thier application.

i read most of the updates in these forums and understand Line 2 in ECAS actually means AOR2

but in our case Line 2 shows as below.
the letter they are talking about is BIL. So is this a common ? Because most of others Line 2 was different hence checking...and will there be another Line 2 (or whatever) indicating AOR2 ?

Permanent Residence
  1. We received XXXXXXX’s application for permanent residence on December 2, 2019.
  2. We sent XXXXXXX a letter on December 24, 2019. Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting us.

Line2 in your timeline is not AOR2 its just an update that they sent you a biometric letter. Once they start processing your application they will add it to your timeline as line 2 “i.e we started processing your application on (date)” this is line 2 which is aor2.

this happened to me i have 3 lines in my timeline now first one said received, second said processing and third one about the letter

good luck

Thankyou for the clarification. I received the Pre- arrival on 19th December, but no update since then. ECAS has also not been updated.
Is there any way i can contact CIC and follow up on the same.

It would be really helpful if you could help me with the contact details.

Thankyou

Never send original documents unless they specifically request it. Send a copy they don't return anything.

look at your country requirements.
Some countries required original copies
