PA in Canada (CEC class) and PPR (Passport Request) for accompanying dependents

[Whateverman]

Hi folks,

I don't think there is a dedicated thread to cases where PPR when Principal applicant is in Canada and Accompanying dependents are Outside of Canada.
I received the PPR letter and I am very confused as:
1) do I have to submit my passport as well - it requires so? (But I am already in Canada, and have COPR)
2) It mentions that if you are currently in Canada, you are not required to submit your passport and will be landed virtually. Please advise our office via webform within 5 days of receipt of this letter if you and/or any of your dependents are in Canada. Please include each person’s name/UCI and where they are currently staying/residing (in Canada or overseas) - which is OK, I will submit webform but how to proceed after?
2) How to proceed?

Any help would be very appreciated.

The PPR letter is only for your dependents outside Canada. If you have received a signed COPR, you are already a landed PR.

Thank you Sir, that's what I thought!

Do I need to ignore that part where they ask for my passport and just present her details?

All correspondence is issued in the name of the PA only and not dependents.

In my case:
i ignored that line because i already received eCOPR so they knew i'm in canada.

you need to submit following doc. for dependent (i'm guessing dependent need visa to come to canada) : -
PPR letter
Passport (Spouse)
height and eye color info
2 photos
right to be PR fee (if not paid)
vfs consent form (for New Delhi VO - not sure about other ones)
vfs 2 way courier form (for New Delhi VO - not sure about other ones)

Thank you so much!!!!

for the vfs consent form (for New Delhi VO - not sure about other ones) and vfs 2 way courier form (for New Delhi VO - not sure about other ones) - Did VFS provide you with the forms themselves?

Hi Everyone,

In case anyone has the same questions I had on PPR, below is what I am going to do:

NOTE: The "ready for visa" email is and will be addressed to Principal Applicant and includes PAs UCI and details. Not to worry - it is for your dependents.

1) If PA is in Canada, please submit a webform and inform them that you are in Canada and Dependent is overseas as per the email - if you are currently in Canada, you are not required to submit your passport and will be landed virtually. Please advise our office via webform within 5 days of receipt of this letter if you and/or any of your dependents are in Canada. Please include each person’s name/UCI and where they are currently staying/residing (in Canada or overseas)
2) Contact your nearest Visa Application Centre - this can be found using the link below. Ask them what is required on your end and what needs to be provided - they will email you a detailed description
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/contact-ircc/offices/find-visa-application-centre.html
3) Gather the required documents:
- Consent form (VAC will send it to you)
- Transmission payment receipt (payment receipt (VAC will indicate the amount and how to pay))
- Courier payment receipt (payment receipt (VAC will indicate the amount and how to pay))
- Your passport (dependent's)
- Letter print out (The "ready for visa" email)
- Your detailed address, recipient name and your contact information on a piece of paper. (including your e-mail address (This is for the dependents address as it will be shipped there))
- 2 pieces of 5x7 cm biometric photos, write the studio name, address and date of taking the photo on the back of the photo (for PR )
- Height, eye colour written on piece of paper as instructed.

This whole thing would need to be sent by courier to the VAC address.

Hope this helps someone at some point.

Hi,

Finally, CIC has sent an email to clarify the email sent for spouse PPR.

 

[BossB]

They said;


This letter contains additional clarification to our previous correspondence regarding your request for passport(s).



While you have obtained your permanent resident status via a virtual landing process in Canada, your accompanying family member(s) residing overseas must contact our mission in their country of residence to obtain their Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR) and visa.



Even though the previous letter was addressed to you, the content of this letter is intended for your accompanying family members. Please advise them to follow the instructions specified in the letter.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada | Immigration, Réfugiés et Citoyenneté Canada

In my PPR request I didn’t receive anything about me confirming if I am in Canada via Webform. I don’t know if the PPR is specific to each applicant’s dependent country of residence

Hi All,

I know most of you know this, but hope this might be helpful for someone.


Required Documents:
1. RFV letter.
2. Original Passport.
3. Two photos.
4. Copy of the receipt of Right of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF).
5. The height and eye colour (for both eyes).
6. VFS Consent form.
7. Courier and SMS form (depends on the country, this is for India).

Steps to be followed: ( Not sure of other countries, this is for India).
1. First u need to submit the webform to vfs for passport submission. One webform for one dependent and u need to submit one full package for one dependent. In the webform, select the catogory as PR and select yes or no for BIO. Then fill details of the dependent name as in passport, applicaiton no, contact info and address.
2. Once you submit the webform you will get a confirmation mail.
3. You will receive Payment link within 3 workign days, which is valid for 12 hrs only. If u missed to pay that then again u need to raise another webform.
4. Then they will assign airway bill number with 24 working hrs from the day of sucessful payment.
5. Courier guy from blue dart will collect the package from you, in the address that u mentioned in the webform after 3 to 5 days from the bill number generation.
6. As the airway bill have all the to and from address details, you can just address the package to "The Visa Officer, VFS Global Canada".
7. Once it is stamped, you will receive the COPR and Passport and number of days for stamping depends on the voulme of application in their queue.

Hi,
Our letter was addressed to the PA but clearly also referring to the Outland Dependent.
This is the confusing part, it was worded as if the PA don't yet have eCoPR and so was asking us to submit both our passports to an address in Canada.
From other comments here I already know that the PA passport part should be ignored, so I want to know if we should go ahead and use the current RFV letter and submit the passport to the VFS in my country or request for a new one through the webform, majorly because the submission address is in Canada..

*PA has eCoPR already.
