Congrats guys

@JESUSisable Congratulations!

Just follow the instructions in the mail "to the letter". IRCC gives different instructions to residents of different countries. Apparently, you are a resident of UAE or ME. Cheers!

Congratulations! For some reason found myself dancing while I was reading this.. lol.

Congrats @JESUSisable, I love your moniker. Congrats @Lopside12.

Hi,
I don't know if this has been answered but my neighbor is currently in Canada on a PR visa and she also had her US visa cancelled and she was returned from the airport in 2016. But in her case she appealed and she won the case and presented all the documents of correspondence with the US government especially the last one stating they regret cancelling her visa, I don't know what your situation is but as long as it wasn't revoked on criminal grounds and you were cleared you should be alright. All the best.

nusetron:
Do u have a 1st bank acct? If yes then stroll into any branch to request for VISA gold card(its a credit card funded by you). I used it for all my payments and it worked just fine.

wholesomegrace:
Hello house,

I don't know if this has been addressed before, but please bear with me.

For those who have recently paid for their application fees (PR, COPR), please how did you go about it? I have just GTB Mastercard on my naira account.

happytbaby:
Congratulations to @Jesusisable and @Lopside 12.

Maxxyfruit:
Thanks sleekchic, mine has not been cleared. But I am believing God that it would not affect my PR goal

DereI:
Under educational documents. Merge ielts, eca, and educational certificates together and upload there

Maxxyfruit:

Doubt if you are a middle east resident else you would have known aramex cos its an everyday name.
Option 1: Mail them to change your visa office to Accra
2. Call aramex Nigeria or UAE and schedule for a pickup. You will spend somewhere between 50-70K in total. They send your passport to the embassy and bring it back when its ready.

Good luck

good morning efam, God is faithful and awesome. I will do a proper timeline and thanksgiving post when you confirm it is what I think it is You guys have been too awesome.

Woke up to this mail this morning. please is this PPR mail?

- Am I to send it to Dubai office? I have never really seen any applicant on this platform that was required to send passports to Dubai.

- Should I use a prepaid envelope as requested by them, cos I only see people's request is to send to Ghana VO and they use a one way dhl package. I don't know which one is ARAMEX courier mail? Can I use dhl to send the mail from here? (I have highlighted this part of the letter in red)

- I also see in the mail that this Dubai visa office charges service fee for PASSPORT TRANSMISSION SERVICE (saw this description from their website United Arab Emirates: http://www.vfsglobal.ca/canada/uae/). Have you heard of this before? How do I go about payment please? (I have highlighted this part of the letter in red)

It’s PPR. Congratulations to you. It’s not Dubai office oh. The address is in Abu Dhabi. Read carefully and follow the instructions.




WE ARE READY TO ISSUE YOUR VISA(S).

Please review your mailing address above and advise us of any updates.

Dear xxxxx,

The processing of your application for permanent residence in Canada is almost complete. You must complete the following steps within 30 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: abdbiimmigration@international.gc.ca with details concerning your situation.

STEP 1: Change in Circumstances:

Should any of the following circumstances apply to you or any accompanying family member, you must inform this office immediately:

· Change in marital status, for example due to marriage, divorce, legal separation, annulment or death of spouse;

· Change in family composition, for example due to adoption or birth of a child, including a child born to your accompanying dependent child,

· 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 CIC 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.

STEP 2: Passport Requirements – Determine if you need to submit your passport(s)



· Determine whether you require a visa to enter Canada at www.cic.gc.ca/ENGLISH/visit/visas.asp



· Please note that if you or your accompanying family members are permanent residents of the U.S.A and a holder of a passport which requires a visa to enter Canada, you are still required to submit your passport(s).



If you require a visa to enter Canada, then submit your passport(s):

· Please provide your passport or travel document and a passport or travel document for each accompanying family member. An accompanying family member must have his or her own passport or travel document.

· There must be at least two blank pages in your passport(s).

· Please note that permanent resident visas cannot be placed in Diplomatic, Official or Military passports or travel documents.

· All passports must be intact and not worn, torn or otherwise damaged; the laminate on the bio-data page must be securely attached. Each page must be securely affixed to the passport; there cannot be any loose pages.

· Ensure that your passport is valid for at least 12 months from the date of this letter.

If you do not require a visa to enter Canada:

· Please submit one photocopy of the photo page and any pages containing amendments of the passport for you and one for each accompanying family member.

· Ensure that your passport is valid for at least 12 months from the date of this letter.

· Please note that you cannot use a Diplomatic, Official or Military passport to travel to Canada to become a permanent resident of Canada. You must be in possession of an ordinary passport.

STEP 3: PREPARE YOUR DOCUMENTS

You must submit together:



1. One copy of this letter.



2. Passport(s) OR photocopy(ies) of passport(s), as explained in Step 2.



3. Two (2) photos of yourself and of each accompanying family member respecting precise specifications that can be found at:



www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/pdf/5445EB-e.pdf

STEP 4: SUBMIT YOUR DOCUMENTS

All required documents must be submitted in one single package. There are 3 ways to submit your passport(s).

OPTION

INSTRUCTIONS
1
(Preferred)

Submit your passport(s) along with the required documents in person or by courier to a Canadian Visa Application Center (VAC) nearest you.



Please note that service charges apply.



Please consult the website of your preferred VAC for information on their service charges, location, hours of operation (for passport submission, please refer to “Application Submission”):

United Arab Emirates: http://www.vfsglobal.ca/canada/uae/

Kuwait: http://www.vfsglobal.ca/canada/kuwait/

Qatar: http://www.vfsglobal.ca/canada/qatar/

Oman: http://www.vfsglobal.ca/canada/oman/

2

Send your passport(s) along with the required documents by courier to the following address:

Immigration Section

Embassy of Canada

10th Floor, West Tower

Abu Dhabi Trade Towers

Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

Tel: +971 2 694 0300



You must include a fully completed Aramex airway bill or a self-addressed C4 or C5 envelope. These must include your complete name, physical address (no PO Box), and phone number (country code + area code + phone number). If you do not write your address CLEARLY on your return airway bill, your passport(s) may be lost in transit.[b][/b]



Your passport(s) will be returned to you by Aramex courier at your expense.



Passports are very valuable and we want to ensure that they are returned to you safely. It is in your best interest to complete the airway bill or return envelope yourself, if applicable.



NOTE: The Embassy’s Immigration Section is no longer open to the public. Therefore, you cannot drop-off your passport(s) in person at the Embassy.

We are looking forward to receiving your package within 30 days to conclude your application for permanent residence in Canada.

Important information after you arrive in Canada:

Permanent residents (PRs) of Canada must carry and present a valid PR card or permanent resident travel document (PRTD) when boarding a flight to Canada, or travelling to Canada on any other commercial carrier. If you do not have a PR card, you need to apply for a PRTD, or you may not be able to board your flight, train, bus or boat to Canada.

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/travel-document/index.asp

It is your responsibility to ensure that your PR card is still valid when you return from travel outside Canada, and to apply for a new PR card when your current card expires. If your PR card expires, it does not mean you have lost permanent resident status.



Yours sincerely,





Immigration Section

Embassy of Canada

Abu Dhabi, UAE
