Thanks for sharing. My passport (after I received the passport request) was sent to NY VAC on Mar,1st but still haven't received it back. I paid shipping labels through VFS. This is the response when I submitted a query with VFS.

Dear Customer,
Your courier package vide AWB# XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX containing your Canada visa application documentation has been received at the visa application Centre in New York but yet to be verified. It will be reviewed and forwarded to the Consulate provided it does not have any deficiencies. Information on processing times can be found on IRCC website.

Do you get an email after your return Fedex label was generated by VFS?

I am getting confused for using the two way courier service for visitor visa (TRV) stamping in USA for my father. My father's visa has been approved and I need to send the passport for visa stamping. Can people who have used it or know about the it shed some light?

After going to the link https://visa.vfsglobal.com/usa/en/can/additional-services and clicking to the registered user link for 2 way courier services, I created login for my father. After logging in

1. Here on the left side of screen, I have to click on "Buy Two way Courier FedEx labels" . After clicking on it.
2. The screen asks to Select Center and to select application category. I choose "Los Angeles", however the selection for application category is confusing me. There the options to be chosen are "Original Passport Submission" or "PRTD (Permanent Resident Travel Document) or "Temporary Resident Visa"

My question is which option should I choose for TRV stamping? We have to send the passport to VFS for TRV stamping ---- should we select "Original Passport Submission" or "Temporary Resident Visa"? Can somebody clarify please???
