If anyone had problem with passport delivery to VFS in Europe? Sent with registered mail, attempted to be delivered x 2, then notice was left that the package is awaiting in responsible post branch. I’m wondering if VAC personnel would go to pick it up?!

I completely agree that pandemic should no longer be an excuse after almost a year now. I hear some of you have reached out to MPs, has anyone tried media to create a push. They should really be empathetic that parents/grandparents are already the most sensitive group with respect to their age and health status. They are just getting older every day and every delayed moment costs us lesser time with them. I have exactly similar timelines but frustrating to see the same pandemic as an excuse every time. Wishing everyone to be reunited with their parents/grandparents soon.
Yes, I agree with you 100%. I am not sure about media push but I have reached out to my Local MP but they can't really do anything other than asking for updates, I get updates on a regular basis but it's been ongoing for 5 months but nothing has been actually done on my application. so I don't know if MP can be of any help.

Passport submission is by 2 way courier service.

What was your LVO ? New Delhi or CPC-Mississauga ?

I had the same kind of situation but the letter gave two options. Either send the Passport, pictures and the letter through VFS to the New York Consulate or if you are in Canada then you may send it to the CPC-Ottawa office. But it was mentioned on the letter itself. So you can do it if it is written on the email.

Is the in Canada option mentioned on your letter or did they just give you the New Delhi option on the letter?

Exactly! With this processing speed, I suspect everyone will again have to go through medicals and get new PCCs. even the ones who have got the extension for medicals will expire, as they are not even touching files under this program. We hardly see updates from CPC M.
