So received a reply today from delhi office.

"This is in response to your recent email enquiry to the Immigration Section of the High Commission of Canada in New Delhi.
As you applied online, all correspondence regarding your application is sent to your online account. Our records indicate that correspondence was sent to your online account on April 29, 2017."

But there has been no messages since Apr 2 (submission confirmation). I have replied saying that I didn't receive any correspondence.
Is there any possibility for a technical glitch in the system ?? Probably they sent something and I didn't receive it in my account?
Hello Bryanna,
How are you doing? So, after sending another cse last week, I checked my status today and it says in final decision: application was approved, you need to send us your passport to finalize your application. Please see messages below..
But there is no passport request letter in the application messages.
Also there is a new 'review of eligibility' row in the application details and it says we are currently reviewing if you meet eligibility requirements.
So a bit confused. Any comments?
Does it take extra time to send passport request letter after a decision is made? Or will it work just by sending my original passport along with a screenshot of my online account?
Thanks.

Hi,

I'm good. Thanks. Hope you're well too. I was wondering about the status of your application.

Yes, a new 'Review of eligibility' status has been added to the MyCIC account since yesterday. From what I understand, this is the first step in the processing. In your case, I would ignore this particular status update.

I suggest you wait for about 24 hours for the Passport Request letter. After that, do email the relevant visa office.

VFS will not accept your passport without the passport request letter or based on the screenshot. It's possible if you get an email confirmation from the visa office.

Do let us know how it goes


Cheers

Thank you
the status says ' we are processing your application, we will send you a message if there is an update or we need more information from you '.
And there is an application summary above the status where I have a unique client identifier.
I don't have any emails from Delhi/Bangalore visa office, I applied online so I don't know the visa office.
So I will wait for a day or two for the letter.
Will keep you posted.

Hi Bryanna

I have applied for a TRV through VFS in mumbai on the 18th of may. Still when i track online through the VFS website it says under process at banglore. My wife applied on the 19th of May through VFS new delhi and she got her visa stamped and returned by the 26th of May.
Should i be worried? I am also not able to link my application to my online account it keeps saying some details dont match, which is very surprising as i am entering details exactly as per passport and VFS confirmation receipt. I dont know if it matters but on my application i saw the VFS person note on the application form in pencil " US 2025 "

Tracking on the VFS website doesn't work. VFS does not have access to the IRCC processing updates.


My wife applied on the 19th of May through VFS new delhi and she got her visa stamped and returned by the 26th of May.

It's possible for some applications to take a bit longer.


I am also not able to link my application to my online account it keeps saying some details dont match, which is very surprising as i am entering details exactly as per passport and VFS confirmation receipt.
MyCIC and online services seem to be getting upgraded. Try again after 1-2 days.

Do ensure you are entering all details/spellings/spaces exactly as per your application form (not as per your passport or the VFS receipt)

You have a US visa that's valid till 2025. The VFS guy submitted your application under the CAN+ category.

However, the visa office has not processed it as CAN+ probably as you did not specifically request for it

So how do i check on the status of my application if the VFS website does not work? Yes i am entering details exactly as per my application but just does not seem to work. I will wait and try again as suggested by you.

No, don't check on the VFS website. You will not see any updates there.

You can link your paper application to your MyCIC account. This will give you a better idea about your application status. Here's the link:

Thats the issue. I am not able to link it. Do you know, does the VFS receipt contain my application number or UCI number? As i am not able to link with name and birth date.
Also once passport is processed and returned back to VFS it will show on the VFS tracking right?

The VFS receipt has neither.

When the processed passport is returned back to VFS, you will get an email (that's only if you have not linked your paper app before that)

I wouldn't bank too much on any updates on the VFS website.

You will certainly get an email for each applicant from VFS. If you've paid to have the processed passports couriered to your residence then you can expect it in 1-2 days after these emails
