If he is in India, then he should get one from passport office in India. You can’t get it from here then.
Sorry I meant my mother is here and father is in India, can I get my dad to collect for both my mother and himself?
Can I apply for my mother in India or since she is here I have to apply from here?

I can see decision made in Ecas for my Mother in law. But didn't get the PR confirmation email yet. How much time it takes to get that?

the application for my parents (different file) is still in progress...

I received two letters from IRCC - CPC Mississauga on Jan 20,2022 regarding my parents application.
1. Letter asking to submit the Passport, 2 photos, RPRF fee proof and Height and Eye color for Principal applicant and dependents
2. Pre-arrival Service letter


Questions:
1. My parents live in Bangalore, India. Where do these documents need to be submitted? VFS says they don't allow people in their offices apart from Biometrics due to Covid. Should I just use the 2-way courier service with them where the passport and the documents are picked up from home and returned back?
2. Where and how do the Height and Eye color details need to be provided for the applicants?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Check cell no X2 of 2019 Tracker.
48.8% (422 out of 864) have reported they have received PPR.
Why do you think that getting PPR is considered that application has been finalized? We got PPR 6 months ago and still waiting for Portal Invitation for virtual landing. We consider that our file is not finalized yet.

Is it the new rule that PRs need to go through the virtual landing?

for people who are already in Canada the only option they have is Virtual Landing to become PR
Thanks for your reply, my parents are outside Canada now, So I guess they have to go through the regular landing process.

if they have travel visas they can come and wait for their landing process here in Canada. We did it because we wanted GP attend their granddaughter wedding here and before getting PPR our process was pretty much smooth but still waiting for invitation to portal to make virtual landing (since 12 July), MP didn't help, everybody keep saying just to wait. If GP were back home they would get their everything long time ago and come to Canada to do their regular landing in the airport)).

My parents did virtual landing as well but there was no such thing as portal invitation (may be the process have changed and i am not aware of it). My parents were in Pakistan and when they came to canada on visit visa i changed their address to canadian address via web form. After 3 months of their arrival, First they receive landing documents via email and after a week they receive email from IRCC etobicoke for virtual landing. May be you can check with IRCC they may have forgotten to send you the email or you may have missed the email as email can go in spam or junk folder. Hope it helps your case
