They cannot get the medical insurance card if they don’t have CSQ. But they can land in Quebec, no problem.
Hello
Both my parents are in canada and we got the passport request to them. In the email instructions it said that if they are already in canada we don't need to submit passport and we must notify them using a webform. I sent a webform to london UK immigration since that is where the application was processed advising my parents are in canada they replied back saying my parents will be contacted by inland IRCC and I don't need to submit passport. I was expecting to receive a portal login so we can proceed with next steps regarding virtual landing.
Can someone please advise how to notify IRCC to get virtual landing instructions or what I should be doing now?

We're in the same situation. However after submitting the webform (to inform that the applicant is in Canada) we haven't received any response.
We submitted the web form around a month ago.
1. When did you submit the webform and when did you get response from them?
2. I'm also trying to get answer to the same question you have (what should we do now, and what's the next step).
I seriously doubt that anyone at IRCC cares to read the webform email. Once I had updated them that due to non availability of appointments we will not be able to complete Biometric in one month stipulated time. In reply IRCC stated "We don't understand the nature of your query". Seriously? Is there any human who read these webform mails or just a dumb robot? Even grade 1 student will understand a simple mail/query.
You have done right thing by sending a webform. Wait for few weeks and call them.
It is taking time to receive an "email to create a PR portal" from IRCC.
Looks like IRCC not considering this case urgent as your parents are already in Canada.

Hi,
Government of Canada is busy in settling 40,000 Afghan nationals and therefore IRCC stopped processing of our files
=====================================
February 11, 2022—Ottawa—The Government of Canada is working hard to resettle 40,000 Afghan nationals as quickly and safely as possible. Over the past week, nearly 460 Afghan refugees arrived in Canada on 20 different commercial flights. To date, a total of 7,550 Afghan nationals have arrived in Canada.

Senior Members Please help..
my parents received their passport back with visa and copr, the problem is they misspelled my mother’s middle name on copr and visa that was stamped on her passport. I already sent an email and webform on what to do to fix this error but i dont know when i am going to receive a reply.
does anybody here experience the same thing? What did you do? Can i just send the passport and copr back to canadian embassy and attach a letter explaining the error? I’ve tried calling also the embassy on our home country but i could not get in. This is so stressful for me and my parents back home

Hi, you should contact the case processing center (CPC) that issued the VISA and COPR in-order to correct the mistake. I have experienced that same in my PR (not PGP) application, and since I was in Canada I had to contact CPC-Ottawa.Senior Members Please help..

Regarding the timeline, it took just ONE day to get a reply from CPC-Ottawa asking me to return the passport and CORP and then, another THREE weeks time to get the corrected COPR and VISA back from them. I hope this helps.

Please review your contact details above and advise us of any errors or updates.
The processing of your application for permanent residence in Canada is almost complete. You must complete the following steps within 30 days in order for our office to issue your Confirmation of Permanent Residence and, if applicable, your permanent residence visa. If for any reason you are not able to meet this deadline, please inform our CPC Mississauga office immediately via the IRCC Web Form: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/contacts/web-form.asp with details concerning your situation.
Due to the current situation regarding the novel coronavirus, if you are unable to provide the requested documents by the due date, please advise our office. We understand that some documentation may be unobtainable at this time. Your application will not be refused because you are unable to provide the requested document on time.
STEP 1: Change in Circumstances:
Should any of the following circumstances apply to you or any accompanying family member, you must inform this office immediately:
Change in marital status, for example due to marriage, divorce, legal separation, annulment or death of spouse;

Death of principal applicant, spouse, accompanying children, or death of sponsoring relative;
Change in health;
You or any of your accompanying family members being charged or convicted of a criminal offence
Change in contact information: mailing address, e-mail address, or telephone number.
Your failure to inform us of any of these changes may result in the cancellation of your permanent resident visa and may render you and your accompanying family members inadmissible to Canada.
STEP 2: Passport Requirements – Determine if you need to submit your passport(s)
Determine whether you need a visa or an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) to travel to Canada at: www.cic.gc.ca/ENGLISH/visit/visas.asp

Your passport(s) should be valid for at least 6 months and have at least two blank pages. If a child is included on your passport, you must have one blank page per accompanying child.
Please note that you STILL need to submit your passport(s) even if:
o You or your accompanying family members have a valid Canadian temporary residence visa or permit.
o You or your accompanying family members are permanent residents of the U.S.A and holder of passport(s) from countries whose citizens need a visa to travel to Canada.
Note: All passports must be intact and not worn, torn or otherwise damaged; the laminate on the bio-data page must be securely attached. Each page must be securely affixed to the passport; there cannot be any loose pages.
b. If your passport is from a country whose citizens need an eTA to travel to Canada or your passport is from the United States, you will need to submit one photocopy of the photo page and any pages containing amendments of the passport for you and each accompanying family member (Note: any accompanying family member whose passport does require a visa however, will need to submit their original passport as per Step 2a). Your passport(s) should be valid for at least 6 months. Please do not send your original passport(s).
*** Please note that Confirmation of Permanent Residence and permanent resident visas cannot be issued on Diplomatic, Official or Military passports or travel documents. You must provide an ordinary passport. ***

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).
NOTE: Permanent Resident document(s) Validity

Your Permanent Resident document(s) will expire one year after the date of your medical examinations or earlier if your passport or the passports of your spouse or dependent children (if applicable) expire on an earlier date.
You must travel to Canada and present your immigration documents at a Canadian Port of Entry before they expire. The validity of the Permanent Resident documents cannot be extended. If you fail to enter Canada before this date and still wish to immigrate to Canada, you must reapply by submitting a new application and paying new processing fees. All such applications will be assessed according to the immigration laws in force at the time of receipt of the application. There is no guarantee a future application would be successful.
