@Gooogly - I am taking the following things while going to VFS. Hope this helps. I am not sure about the appendix B. Which form is this one?
- PPR Letter copies (as mentioned in the letter "Please take this letter and present it to VFS for the purchase of the secure Passport Transmission Service ")
- Current Passports (as mentioned in the letter "There must be at least two blank pages in each passport. We are unable to issue a visa beyond the expiry date in your passport. Your passport must be valid for at least six months")
- Two recent photographs as per their specification, one photo needs to have the studio and personal details mentioned (as mentioned in the letter "Please provide two (2) recent photographs along with your passports for yourself and each accompanying dependent")
- VFS Consent Forms - for applicant and dependant (Link: http://www.vfsglobal.ca/canada/india/pdf/Consent-Form.pdf), handwritten and signed
- Copies of Bio pages of passports
Please let me know if I am missing something.
VFS Charges (as mentioned by VFS its by cash only)

Seems fine. They provided me the consent form so mine was unused. Also, don’t staple your documents as they ask you to remove it before submitting.
How much will vfs charge for myself and dependent?
Should we take an appointment in vfs before?
Charges: Rs 637.00 for each applicant to be paid in cash
Secure transmission of passport to the Canadian High Commission, New Delhi or Consulate General of Canada , Chandigarh i upon request by visa office (for example, electronic application)
SMS and Courier service charges extra.
Appointment not required. Asked me to walkin during their operating hours. If you are asking about a specific VFS then please call them and get the details.

Courier Charges - Rs 397

VFS Process and Experience in Bangalore
1. They issue a token after security screening and let you inside.
2. You have to wait till they call out your token number (the video display with token numbers was lagging and very soft in sound, not much audible)
3. They will give you a form to fill a few details including cash payment details (make sure to carry a pen)
4. When your token number is called then head to the counter
5. At the counter provide the PPR Mail copy, 2 Photographs, VFS Consent form, Passports (one PPR mail copy is fine for two applicants, but for each applicant present the others things separately)
6. Then go to cash counter and make the payment (Passport Transmission - Rs. 637, Courier Charges - Rs 397, SMS service - Rs 53, Photocopies and scan charges extra. No photograph facility in VFS Bangalore)
7. Return to the counter and provide the payment slips to VFS. They will provide the receipt and details on how to collect the passport if you do not use the courier service.
Pros
1. Process is not that long and is finished quickly when initiated.
2. There is not much queue if you go mid week around 9:00 am.
Cons
1. Lady at the cash counter goes missing sometimes and then you need to wait for her return
2. No proper video and audio device to present token number clearly. Have to stay attentive to hear your number from the VFS employees mouth.
3. Under staffed and some counters remain closed or operate very slowly. This causes unnecessary delay for you.
4. The cash counter lady had no idea that cash payments need to be done. then another person announced the process for cash payment.
5. Not a process orientated place.
Documents carried:
1. PPR Mail copies (only one copy taken for two applicants)
2. Photographs (4 for each applicant - vfs accepted just 2 photographs for each applicant, one photo had details written on its back)
3. Passports for each applicant (current passports for both applicants)
4. VFS Consent forms for each applicant (VFS consent forms can be downloaded from the VFS Canada page)
Hope this helps. Others can explain the VFS process at their respective locations. Will help everyone post PPR mail.
thanks,
