Applied online at the U.S .. Can I get my passport stamped at different embassy(my home country)?

Hi guys, I applied for the study permit online while I am residing in the U.S. as F1 student. Now, I want to go back to my home country but I still didn't get my visa or any passport request. Can I send my passport to the VFS in my home country to get the study permit when I receive the passport request later? Thanks

In exact same situation as you, we also need to inform IRCC about address change right?

Probably, but I don't know if we can do this if we applied while we are in the U.S.

We need to submit the passport to the country where we specified as residence country during the application.

Any ideas what to do if I have to leave my current country of residence?

Just send a webform that you changed your address. Your scenario is too common. Once u r approved, u ll get ppr request for stamping in local office.

Thank you! I guess I will do that.
Do you think this will delay my application since they will have to change the office that is handling my application to a local one?

I have applied and given my biometrics in the US, but submitted my passport in the VAC in my home country. I just had to pay additional fee for doing so. You should be able to request specific instructions from the VAC that is closest to you as to what documents/payments to submit.

That's very helpful info. So, did you contact your local VAC office to submit the passport?

Correct and they sent me the instructions.
