Hi all,

I got a letter Annex 1 to provide some info and email for online confirmation of permanent residence. When can i expect to get the email for the portal to upload photo and apply for PR card.

Thanks.

Thank you very much for detailed response. have a few follow up questions as well.
I think what might have happened was that i had sent PCC in 2 emails. One of the PCCs (For India) was submitted after the deadline but I had advised them in the first email that we are waiting for the Indian PCC and had provided proof. They might have just looked at the first email but didn't look at the second email. the PCC was for a timeframe when my father was studying in India (in the 80s). I still have the PCC that Indian embassy provided in December of 2021. Can i just resubmit that or do i need to get a new certificate as the old one was issued just over 6 months ago? Technically, if he was cleared for the 80's that fact doesn't change with the new PCC but i keep on reading about PCC having to be issued within the last 6 months so want to be sure.

also, is it possible to talk to or email VO directly? if so, how? I always get email notifications from generic mailbox (do not reply address) so I don't know how to reach them directly. thank you.
Hi
1. New PCC from India is not required since your father has not lived in india after you submitted PCC in last request.
2. If you never received direct email from visa office and was always contacted through GcKey than make a pdf or word file and paste pcc and an explanation note that sumitting pcc for your father as requested in letter dated. Also mention your father lived in India from xxxx to xxxx for which pcc allready sumitted and again presented here. You will have slot to upload in GcKey.

However, we did not have to go in-person but we could not change back to Niarobi cause they warned that we MUST stick with the selected option.

** I used my email all through out this application because I know my mom does not check her emails (as evidenced with the VFS email). Her email only came into play when she emailed her PP to Accra and by then it was too late to update.

I am sooooo happy that I fail to properly express my joy.

Sorry in advance for any typo or grammatic error. I'm off to go drink zobo
Big congrats to you and your family.

Does anyone have any suggestion?

I checked my IRCC secure account (GCkey) there is nothing there
1. Google search the contact information for that office so you can email them.
2. Ask your MP to help contact them.
3. Call IRCC customer service number.
4. Contact them via webform

I recommend doing all 4.

Hello, I had request the admins. earlier to change the status to complete as the process is now complete for my mother. Also, I applied for visa extension on July 4th (Visa expiry was July 5th) since my mother was already in Canada. She became a PR on 27th July. So, what do I do with the visa extension application, it still appear as "Submitted" in mycic @laxsun Thanks.
