Usually takes 2-3 days. How many days did it take for your passport to get stamped once it reached IRCC office?

Reached ircc on Tuesday. Next day Wednesday its stamped and dispatched.. Now passport is on the way.. I will get it by tomorrow

Hi All,

below is the post from the facebook page of Canada in India (High-Commission of India)

"As of today, November 13, all clients who receive a passport request letter from IRCC may now contact VFS at: PassportSubmission@vfshelpline.com to confirm their 2-way courier service.
Please include your unique passport request letter with your submission for verification.
If you have not received a passport request letter we request your patience as volumes continue to be high. Please note: Unsolicited passports will be returned without being processed."

The question is, can we send our details to the given email address or do we have to still wait? The only unique thing is our UCI which is on the passport request letter. Can anyone help?

Thank You.

Hi GRJ,

Could you please help in confirming if the we need to wait for an unique passport request letter for submitting passports to VFS. Till now, I only got an email from IRCC.CIO-BRCD.IRCC@cic.gc.ca to submit my passports for visa, but I have not got any unique passport request letter.

I contacted VFS and they generated a payment link, but before sending my passports to them I wanted to confirm if unique passport request letter are required or not, as this part of process is not clear.

Of course the official PPR letter is required, shouldn't had proceeded with the email letter.

Hi Ironclad,

Thanks for your quick reply!!

I have got email on 5 Jan from IRCC.CIO-BRCD.IRCC@cic.gc.ca to submit my passports for visa within 30 days , and it's been 11 days now that I have not got any another email or PPR letter from them.
1. Could you please guide to whom i could contact to get the status of PPR letter for me.
2. Is it normal to get PPR letters delayed , as I am bit worried that I need to submit within 30 days.

What is your visa office ? Is you VO from New Delhi ? Send an email to NDVO attaching the email letter

During COVID-19 times IRCC on twitter said it will get extended to 90 days but I am not sure whether it applies to PNP.

Yes, i did my Biometeric in New Delhi so I am assuming that VO is same. Let me try contacting NDVO by email. Thanks for your guidance.

Hi Ironclad,

I wanted to share 1 additional info. The email text that I received from IRCC.CIO-BRCD.IRCC@cic.gc.ca is shown below for your reference, in which it says that I could take this letter and present it to VFS. Is there a possibility that separate Passport request letters are not issued recently.

1) Passports
VFS is our trusted partner for safe and secure passport transmission. Using VFS services is the only way to submit your passport. Contact VFS in India (www.vfsglobal.ca/canada/india) or in Nepal (www.vfsglobal.ca/canada/Nepal) and pay the requisite fees for the Passport Transmission Services . A separate envelope is required for each passport.

Please take this letter and present it to VFS for the purchase of the secure Passport Transmission Service. VFS will send your passport to the High Commission of Canada in New Delhi in a secure envelope. You will then be advised by VFS when your passport has been returned and is ready to be picked up.

I suggest you to proceed with the email letter since you are running out of time but I am not sure if it's the correct method without PPR letter for PNP.
