Hi

I've just recieved my PPR email (yay!!) but am a little confused by the next steps.

The email states that if you are a holder of a passport from a country that does NOT need a visa to enter canada, you simply send a photocopy of your passport.

To check if your country falls into this category (I would except Britian did), there is a link to check....

The link however shows that from March 2016, a ETA is now required for British travelling to canada....Does this mean that I DO have to send my passport vs photocopy? Confused! Is the ETA a visa???

ETA is not a VISA. It is Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) for citizens from visa-exempt countries. It is electronically linked to your passport and is not stamped in the passport as regular visa , therefore you don't need to send passport.

Yes you only send photocopy and apply for ETA online

send it to the Canadian embassy address in the email along with other docs required
 
Hey Guys,

Am Australian in a fairly similar situation, got my CPCO final request email, for the passport copy and my pictures.

Does anyone know if there is anything else I will need to do?

and how long does it generally take to get your COPR after the visa office has received the copy of your passport and photos?

Thanks,

Scout
