That is very odd. I have never seen this before. Generally they give 30 days.
Most US based applicants actually send passport to Ottawa for processing. So there is no way of submitting passport in USA. There is a way of submitting passport in NYC VFS but even they actually send passport to Ottawa for processing. Google NYC VAC and call them to see if they will take your passport for PR stamping.
Yes its possible. Raise a webform and also reply to the email from where PPR came. Also, see if there is an email ID on the PPR letter you got and email them as well.
No need to pay again. Just send them the receipt.
This is the first time I have seen this. Your PPR letter has two requirements which I have not seen before. 1. Asking to submit documents in 15 days instead of 30 days. 2. Asking for an address in Canada.
Also, they asked to pay you fee again. You may want to check if the letter is genuine. Was there a link to pay fee in the letter? Just wondering if it was a phishing attempt.
Well the email comes from <
IRCC.CPCO-FinalRequest-CTDO-DemandeFinale.IRCC@cic.gc.ca> so it seems to be legit. The format is awkward but I hear that's usually how it comes. this is my full email:
The processing of your application for permanent residence in Canada is almost complete. You must complete the following steps
within 15 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 us
immediately by email to:

STEP 1: CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES:

· 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 IRCC offices 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. Your failure to declare all of your family members, accompanying or not, will permanently exclude them from sponsorship under the Family Class regulations.
