I want to submit the passports at VFS.. people who have already submitted passports can you let me know whether they take the old / expired passports too?? Or its just the current passport that they take? I'm submitting it from India.
I submitted passports to delhi VFS a couple of days ago. Customer Rep advised to send the old one also. I did.

I got my COPR last week. I am planning to land in Toronto in mid-August from New Delhi, India. Before moving permanently to Canada, I want to visit Paris & Brussels for which I need to apply for Schengen visa. For this visa, I need to book tickets from Delhi > Paris, then Paris to Toronto. I need to show hotel bookings too. I need to declare funds too.
Would the France visa authorities have any problems in giving me a tourist visa?
When I land in Canada, will the visa officers have any problems that I am not coming from my home country?

I am from Jamaica and I currently live in Brandon manitoba. Where do you live, and what is your Nationality?
Oh then that's a different story since you're already in Canada. I'm from the Philippines currently living in the Middle East. It gets really frustrating as we are almost in our 8th month of waiting. I just hope and pray that we get our PPR within this month.

So I am back after my 15 day trip to find that there is no update in my account. Still stuck in IP1 with absolutely no updates. My AOR is Nov 04.

Anybody else left from first week of November?

I see that @SithLord has not replied since a while. Have you received the golden email? Other fellow unlucky applicants?

Just spoke to an agent and said the same thing as last month. Eligibility MET, criminality PASSED, security NOT STARTED. The agent said the file was last worked on April and that too for the updated FD I had submitted. The due date was 20th June on file and said since no one has looked at it, she’ll send a reminder to the officer. 7 mnths tomorrow, only thing I can think of is ordering GCMS notes as of now. Background processing since Jan18.
Did the reminder thing work?

CALL #1: Mid April, was told that eligibility MET and nothing else started

Feel free to ask any questions that you may have..
Did agent put a reminder on your file when you called last?
