Great news!

But we have to get them to process this in Canada as well.

You are still here, yes?

When is the last time you were in the Philippines?

UCI: 1112505716 Application: EP00412087

Date: December 12, 2022

Please review your contact details above and advise us of any errors or updates.

Dear Bhryn Bacaltos,

The processing of your application is almost complete. To move forward in processing, please refer to the instructions below to
submit passports from your family member(s) abroad. IRCC will contact you soon with next steps for processing your (the principal
applicant) COPR from inside Canada.

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 our
Centralized Intake Office immediately via the IRCC Web Form: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/contacts/web-form.asp with details
concerning your situation.

Due to the current situation regarding the novel coronavirus, if you are unable to provide the requested documents by the due
date, please advise our office. We understand that some documentation may be unobtainable at this time. Your application will
not be refused because you are unable to provide the requested document on time.

Important notice:
To protect Canadians from COVID-19, travel restrictions and pre-departure COVID‑19 testing requirements are now in place
for individuals travelling to Canada. Please consult How COVID-19 is affecting immigration, refugees, citizenship and passport
services for the latest information before making any travel plans and again before departing for Canada.

It is your responsibility to keep yourself informed of any changes to the travel restrictions to Canada by going to Find
out if you can travel to Canada

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, including pregnancy;
 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 us 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 need a visa or an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) to travel to Canada at:
www.cic.gc.ca/ENGLISH/visit/visas.asp

a. If your passport is from a country whose citizens need a visa to travel to Canada, you will need to submit original
passport(s) for you and each accompanying family member. Your passport(s) should be valid for at least 6 months and
have at least two blank pages. If a child is included on your passport, you must have one blank page per
accompanying child.

Please note that you STILL need to submit your passport(s) even if:
o You or your accompanying family members have a valid Canadian temporary residence visa or permit.
o You or your accompanying family members are permanent residents of the U.S.A and holder of
passport(s) from countries whose citizens need a visa to travel to Canada.

Note: 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.

b. If your passport is from a country whose citizens need an eTA to travel to Canada or your passport is from the
United States, you will need to submit one photocopy of the photo page and any pages containing amendments of the
passport for you and each accompanying family member (Note: any accompanying family member whose passport
does require a visa however, will need to submit their original passport as per Step 2a). Your passport(s) should be
valid for at least 6 months. Please do not send your original passport(s).
*** Please note that Confirmation of Permanent Residence and permanent resident visas cannot be issued on Diplomatic, Official
or Military passports or travel documents. You must provide 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. If you submit photos that do not
meet the exact specifications, your package will be returned to you.
4. Completed and signed Appendix B form (enclosed).

STEP 4: SUBMIT YOUR DOCUMENTS

All required documents must be submitted in one single package.

A. To submit your package while overseas:

Please submit your package to the nearest Visa Application Centre along with the VAC Passport Transmission fee.

For Passport Transmission instructions and fee details, please visit:

https://www.vfsglobal.ca/canada/

B. If you are currently in Canada, you are not required to submit your passport and will be landed virtually. Please
advise our office via webform within 5 days of receipt of this letter if you and/or any of your dependents are in
Canada. Please include each persona€™s name/UCI and where they are currently staying/residing (in Canada
or overseas).

NOTE: Permanent Resident document(s) Validity

The issuance of your Permanent Resident document(s) is time sensitive so it is

important for you to submit your passport(s) as requested.

Once you receive your Permanent Resident document(s), please verify the information
on it is correct. If there are any errors, such as incorrect spelling of name or incorrect
date of birth, please inform our Centralized Intake Office via the IRCC Web Form:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/contacts/web-form.asp immediately. Your name will appear
in the same format as it appears in your passport.
Your Permanent Resident document(s) will expire one year after the date of your
medical examinations or earlier if your passport or the passports of your spouse or
dependent children (if applicable) expire on an earlier date.

You must travel to Canada and present your immigration documents at a Canadian Port
of Entry before they expire. The validity of the Permanent Resident documents cannot
be extended. If you fail to enter Canada before this date and still wish to immigrate to
Canada, you must reapply by submitting a new application and paying new processing
fees. All such applications will be assessed according to the immigration laws in force
at the time of receipt of the application. There is no guarantee a future application would
be successful.

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

Sincerely,

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC)

Getting ready for your trip

As you have now received a Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR) or have been notified to submit your travel documents
in preparation for the issuance of a COPR, you are strongly encouraged to use free pre-arrival services funded by Immigration,
Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). Several online and in-person services are available to you, your spouse and your
dependents. These services can help you find out more about living and working in Canada. They can also help you take steps
to get your education, work experience, and professional licenses/certificates recognized in Canada, and access other free
settlement services once you have arrived in Canada.
