Hi All,
It may help.
Ours was EE (PNP) - Outland application.
We submitted passports (mine+2 dependents) at New Delhi VFS on 28-Aug-2023. It was under process at IRCC since 29-Aug-2023, with no update till 7-Sep-2023. I tried contacting VFS on chat few days back, and the rep informed it takes 3-5 working days for passports to be stamped once status shows 'under process at IRCC'. And once it is dispatched it may take 24-48 hours to reach VFS office where passports were submitted.
By the grace of God, and well wishers, stamped passports email for pickup was received on 7-Sep-2023, and I picked up the same day as they had long weekend offs.
PS: There's long weekend this time for VFS New Delhi.
8-Sep-2023 - Holiday due to G20 summit
9-10-Sep-2023: Weekly off (Sat-Sun)
The VFS team was courteous and helpful. It took less than 5 mins once I was inside the room for passport pickup.
Wish you all the best for your process.
