Spousal Sponsorship PR Interview - No Passport

Permanent Resident Card
1

I have a PR interview tomorrow in Etobicoke to finalise my PR status (spousal sponsorship).

The only documents that I have been asked to take with me are my passport, the CIC letter and 2 photos.

Unfortunately I do not have my passport with me; incidentally I will receive it in the post tomorrow but not before the interview.

Will CIC accept the Ontario photo ID instead of passport?

I also have photocopies of my passport.

I appreciate any help and advice.

You need to have your physical passport to complete the landing process. I don’t think they will accept photocopies as a substitute. I would go to the landing interview all the same. However be prepared that your landing may have to be deferred to a later date since you don’t have your passport.
