Does anyone know what do with PPR request when you and your spouse are in different location, currently my wife is in India and I am in US, we are waiting for our PPR, let’s say once we get the mail, how can I request for a change of passport office for either of us. Mine needs to go in US/Canada embassy and my wife’s to India.
Anyone had the same situation? I read in some blogs that they you can mail and wait for the response and proceed as per that.
But if someone has done it already or know the process clearly, please let me know as it will help us immensely.
Well, I am sure you have gotten your CoPR by now. Even then, I will answer the question since we faced the same problem. Yes, you can email CIC. They will then issue a second PPR. And both of you can apply individually. However, do remember that if applied through any immigration agency, then immediately let them know of your situation. They will raise the request on your behalf.
In our case, my husband was in the US and I was in India. When we got our PPR, we kept writing and calling CPC-O but did not get any response. Then, finally I explained our situation to the immigration agency through which we had filed our application. They raised a request through our profile and a second PPR was issued within a day.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for your response!! I have not received the COPR yet, hopefully I should get that soon, as agent told everything is fine just processing is taking time.
I will follow what you suggested once I get the update, appreciate your response!
@truseju Hi, I received two ppr emails within one hour yesterday. One saying ‘Ready for visa’ and other one ‘Ready for visa - Use this if me or my dependent is in India’ which is the case where I’m in USA and my wife is in India.
So can I go ahead and send mine to Ottawa and she can send hers through VFS in India? IS that the second PPR email you got after raising the request?
Yes, you both can send your passports to the respective case processing centers in India and the States. Make sure you follow the instructions very carefully. All the best.
@truseju Troubling you again. So I got official reply from IRCC as well regarding sending the passport at different locations. But thanks for your input as well.
Now, I just want to confirm with you that like how many days it took for you and your dependent to get passport back and like you both got your passport around same time or days apart.
Actually I’ll be travelling out of USA on 18th July and as per tracking number my passport received on 18th June and my dependent in India submitted on 22nd June at VFS. Just want to see what are my chances to get it back on time before 18th July considering no delays from my side.
My husband submitted his passport a couple of days after I did. I got my passport back within 7 working days. Mine was in New Delhi. My husband’s passport was sent to CPC Ottawa. He got his in 12-14 days. But again the number of days it takes to return your passport depends on the respective offices.
Almost similar case, I have sent mine to CPC Ottawa and my wife submitted through VFS to NDVO. Hope these guys are not busy at this time of year and it gets processed within avg. timelines.
Apologies for reviving this topic six months after we first talked about.
I am in a similar situation currently and I am not travelling back until February 2020 to the U.S. My husband is also travelling for work and would not be back in the U.S. until Feb 2020 due to which I have requested an extension. My first PPR email came on December 19th, 2019 and have requested an extension on the 24th December, 2019. I have not received any reply from them as of today and I am assuming due to the holiday period.
I would like to understand by within what time frame did you get a reply back from the CIC regarding your case?
Hi Rpan,
Hope you have explained your situation to CIC. Usually the turnaround time is 24-48 hrs. It could be the holiday season for the delay in response. If you have applied through an immigration agent, be sure to let them know. They will raise the request on your behalf.
Hope this helps.
Me and my husband have applied for the PR on our own.
I have dropped an email, submitted a web form and have even raised a ticket through our account and no reply so far from them. I am really worried at this point on what can I do.
Would you have any details on how your agent raised a request? Was it through your online account?
So sorry for such delayed response. I hope your problem has been solved by now. Even then, yes, I believe the agent raised the request through our profile. Sorry I don’t have much information on that.
Below is my situation: I have not applied through any agency. So do I send an email to whom? and just keep waiting for their response to provide me with revised PPR? or I can go ahead and submit to the nearest VFS center in Newyork? as my PPR request just gave a generic link https://www.vfsglobal.ca/canada/ for passport transmission instructions. This takes me to VAC in countries that are outside North America.
@truseju
Hi I am in a similar boat. Need help.
hi guys, I have submitted my documents while I was in India (mid Feb) and recently only like 2 weeks ago I moved to the USA (Atlanta). I just received the letter (with Header saying Primary Office: Montreal Immigration, and footer saying Immigration section New Delhi) PPR requesting passports within 30 days. But in the letter it is mentioned to refer https://www.vfsglobal.ca/canada/ for passport transmission instructions. This takes me to VAC in countries that are outside North America.
Where as I know that people in USA would be asked to send to CPC OTTAWA address directly instead of VAC in USA (New York / Los Angeles).
When i called the VAC customer care in USA, the representative mentioned that it is Ok to send the package to VAC Newyork /Los Angeles).
What are your thoughts on this ? I am preparing to send to VAC New York. Should I request for a revised PPR letter ?
Can you help me explain how the revised PPR letter looked like for you?
