Good afternoon, I have just received a letter from IRCC, requesting my passport information.
I am already living in Canada and I was wondering that if I still need to submit my documents or not.
This is the part that confuses me. Step 4 says that if I am already residing in Canada, I am not required to submit my passport,
but does that mean that I just need to inform the office? or do I still have to send documents to the corresponding visa office?
Thank you
STEP 3: PREPARE YOUR DOCUMENTS

1. One copy of this letter.
2. Passport(s) OR photocopy(ies) of passport(s), as explained in Step 2.
