Hi everyone,

I'm looking for advice from anyone who has been in a similar situation.


My son is an Indian citizen and currently holds a valid Canadian visitor visa. We have an approved family sponsorship PR application for him, and recently received a Passport Request (PPR) asking us to submit his original passport within 30 days.

The issue is that my wife and son are scheduled to travel to Canada on June 14, and we're concerned that if we submit the passport now, it may not be returned in time for travel.

Has anyone dealt with a similar situation where:
- You received a PPR but had imminent travel plans?
- You requested an extension from IRCC to submit the passport later?
- You travelled to Canada on a visitor visa while the PR application was at the passport request stage?

What did IRCC advise, and how did you proceed?

Any experiences or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
