When do I need to surrender my passport ?
Hi,
I'm about to fire off a spousal application for permanent residency, at what stage in the process do the Canadian authorities need to hold on to my UK passport, is right away ?
I'm hoping to visit my Canadian wife and son in Vancouver over Christmas, and it looks like you can't get a second UK passport unless there's a proven *business* need, there's not in my case.
I've got an application underway for an Irish passport but that won't be processed in time for Christmas.
When the Canadians do ask for my passport how soon do I have to respond ? I'm hoping they leave enough time for my Christmas visit.

You might find this chart handy (made by a person on a different forum):

The column entitled "PPR" refers to when people got their passport requests. As you can see, there's a sizeable chunk of time between when people submitted their applications and when they received their passport requests.
Enjoy Christmas with your family!
