A Canada PPR or Passport Request is a notification sent by IRCC to applicants whose Canada PR application has been approved. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) requires the passport of the applicant so they can stamp the Canada PR visa onto it. Using the visa, the new immigrant can fly to Canada and live a good life.
Getting a PPR almost guarantees successful Canada PR. This is the final step that happens after all necessary documentation and verifications.
