My spouse (open work permit) and I just received our passport requests. There was no passport request for my 2 year old daughter (US citizen) even though the attorney submitted a visitor visa application. Is that normal? Does that mean I do not have to submit her passport to VFS along with mine? Would appreciate it if someone could clarify

Here's my timeline for anyone interested

Applied Online (US) - Aug 10
Biometric request - Aug 11
Biometric completion - Aug 19
Passport request - Nov 30
Congrats. I am in a similar situation(infant US citizen). The attorney did inform us that the baby wouldn’t need a visa and it would just be the parents.

Because of Covid, I don't believe in-person stamping is being offered as an option. I've requested VFS for two-way mailing labels to NY and will probably hear back in a day or two

Thank you. Do I need to ignore pages 3 and 4 of the TTS consent form?
Also, while writing to them to request for the payment link, can I mention same email address for both primary & dependent in the excel sheet? Not sure if this will be a trouble (if they are sending separate email for primary & dependent).

Hi all. If someone already has a Canadian TRV in their passport and WP (ICT) gets approved, do you know if CIC still asks you to submit the passport for another TRV?

Yup you can leave them blank or say N/A. I used different email addresses but I think the same email address for both will work as well.

Thank You. Did you send your passport already. How long does it take for you to receive the shipping label?

I sent the initial request to VFS on Tuesday night and they sent me the payment link on Thursday so I'll probably receive the mailing labels on Monday
