Hey!
I received a fantastic e-mail yesterday (PPR!! :D ). But I have a quick question about the PPR. It states the following

' If you hold passport(s) from countries whose citizens need an eTA to travel to Canada or hold passport(s)/travel document(s) issued by the United States, you DO NOT need a Permanent Resident Visa to be affixed in your passport. Please do not send your original passport(s).'

I am from Australia and Australia is listed under the 'Visa Exempt Foreign Nationals' on the Canadian Government website. Meaning that I need an ETA to commute to Canada by air but not by land or sea. Basically I am unsure if I need to send my passport or just the following requirements that are listed as the alternative:

'You are required to submit one photocopy of the photo page and any pages containing amendments of the passport for you and for each accompanying family member. Please ensure that your passport(s) for which you will submit a photocopy is valid for at least 6 months.'

Does anyone know how I should proceed?

Thanks!!
