Hello Everyone,

Received my Pre-arrival and passport request yesterday. I am the principal applicant and my husband the dependent, will be submitting my passports shortly through VFS (India), can anyone clarify the passport request letter has come in my name and nowhere my husband's name mentioned. Do I need to submit myself and my husband's passports together in the same envelope or should it be in separate envelope. My consultant says it has to be in separate envelope. I am a bit confused as to why it needs to be submitted in separate envelope as the passport request letter has come in my name.

Also myself and my husband have new passport and the same has been updated to CIC, do we need to send old passports along with new passports?

Kindly clarify.

All the best for everyone here!
I had the same issue when submitting my parents' documents. the solution was to have 2 envelopes inside another one. My parents' letter was very clear that we had to have it all in the same package, so that's what we did.
Hope it helps

In the VFS instruction they have mentioned one package for one applicant, so I have to make two packages

Hello,

I submitted the replacement on 4th Jan 2023. In Sep-2022, I submitted PCC received from India. After reading this forum, I realized that in some cases, IRCC requested PCC from Canada if the PA is in Canada during application submission and during the process. So, I submitted the replacement in Jan-2023. I received the confirmation on Jan-06th that the replacement document was added to the file. Today, again, I received the same email saying the replacement document was added to the file. Is it normal?

Jan 6th
Good day,

Thank you for contacting Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

We acknowledge receipt of the documents and wish to inform you that they have been added to the file.

Today
We wish to confirm that the documents you provided were added to the file

Did anyone have the same experience? Any thoughts?

Regards,
Rajat
