I am an Indian citizen, presently working at Kuwait. My PR application is in progress and we are expecting passport request (PPR) anytime now, having done all our medicals on 08-June-2008 in Kuwait.

My son who is included in our application has landed in Canada on 1-Sep-2008 on a student visa, obtained a student permit and currently studying at University of Toronto. We have already informed to CIC-London about this as our application is under process in London Office.

Now if I receive PPR, I need to get my son´s passport from Canada through courier and then send it along with all our passports to London. But I think, there should be an easier way as either of the following:

1. to get an exemption from the first landing formalities (for the student) and get the PR papers in Canada itself, as the person has already landed and studying at Canada.

2. to get the landing visa stamped at Canada itself, (as the person is currently residing in Canada), and then to travel for a short time to US for example and then come back on the landing visa.

No such details are availabe in the CIC website. But I hope to get some response from this forum from experts or a ny body who had similar experience.

Any advise/ suggestion in this regard is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

u have two options
(a) options a: your son comes on vacation and then u send his passport to embassy for PR stamping
(b) option b : u tell your son to send the passport directly to embassy and then embassy sends the passport to u after stamping. You can take along with you the passport or send thru somenone .He goes to Niagra for border stamping. call me if u have any doubts. This has been done by many friends

AFAIK sending passport across countries thru mail/courier etc is very illegal.....

Hi

At this time of the process, the authorities in the London office are
very friendly. You can just call them up or send in a general
e-mail they will give you the right answers.

That was my experience when I had problems.

Best of luck.

Tom

Hi all CD's

I will be facing the same situation very soon as Rabbani is. Please, we need more sincere/expert advices as this is a very technical issue.

Thanks you all.

I told you what I did and what I thought was right at that time. You have all the inputs and the decision has to be entirely yours
