Can anyone share their experience with the Vancouver office processing time?
It is well known that Vancouver office is the slowest. This has also been covered in news before. They are still finishing 2021 PGP applicants and 2022 PGP applicants are still waiting.
Whats you exact question?

We received request for Biometrics, Medicals and PCC today.

Few questions:

Biometrics: my in-laws have done their Biometrics last year when they have applied for Super visa and they are valid till 2033. Do they have to do it again?

Medical: Same as Biometrics

PCC: Is there a way to fast track and get PCC in India; like tatkaal service? The first available appointment available in Mumbai for us is July 04 and I believe it takes 6 to 8 weeks. How do we submit as the deadline is only 30 days?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance ☺
I have the same question and same situation. I received Biometrics Letter yesterday for my parents. Their Biometrics # are already reflecting in their account. But I guess if they've received the letter, they have to get it done again.

I just got an email that I need to pay an extra 100 dollar for my parent's application. When I applied in Oct/Dec 2023, fees were calculated using the following table:

And I notice the fees have increased quite a bit:

Shouldn't CIC change the applicants the fees they were told to pay at the time and not according to inflammation?!

Was your file transferred after eligibility letter? I got mine transferred after biometrics and with eligibility letter it is now transferred to Vancouver office.
