I assumed you send an email request to VFS (and not the webform as that is disabled now anyways). What you got is an auto-reply. VFS office is closed and you will get the payment link only when the office opens.

Thanks @neiljosh, It will help. Shall I wait for PR Card or apply for PRTD? as Given time lines if I will apply PRTD it may take 2months to complete all process including stamping.
Also that data I have got from cic sites. There were more PR issued in Dec and Jan compared to previous months
Looking at situation in India, you might get your PR card first if vaccination in Ontario continues at this pace and Dougie opens things up after June 1st.

I was reading last year discussion for PRTD application as people got e-authorization or Letter of authorization instead of getting counterfoil or PRTD stamp on passports. Is it possible these days. Please reply @canuck78

Hi is it normal application or on humanitarian grounds?
Did you applied through email? If so how many days it took to get the approval?

You have to wait until you are asked to submit your passport and then arrange the courier.

I appreciate your reply and thoughts, but I hope you are not being judgemental of people who traveled out of the country. These were govt officials only who traveled to Caribbean during winter and when outrage emerged, they imposed a 2k - 3 day hotel quarantine. I don't oppose quarantine (in fact it should be 10 days in hotel), but at a reasonable price and not to make profit (or to make a point).

I am an inland candidate and waiting for my PR Card since 4 months. I had to travel due to death in a family and i was the only one to perform last rites. So Yea, not leisure and an un-avoidable travel !!
I completely agree. Anyone can have urgent reasons to travel and these so called guidelines are not applicable to New PRs alone. I personally know many PRs having PR card are traveling freely, infact they are utilising this time to work from other parts of the world to be with their extended family for a longer duration.

Govt guidelines are there from long but their own Citizens i.e. Canadian snowbirds are not following them, they are going out for holidays :(.

Moreover, I could see protests are happening in Toronto on every other weekends for these lockdowns. thousands are coming on the road without any safety guidelines followed.

It is all relative. Many people in Canada have not been able to attend funerals for their family within Canada. It is very hard to define what would be considered essential travel.

Are you actually able to request a courier? I was under the impression that it is not an option at the moment. I hope your flight can be rescheduled because that may be necessary.

looks like a lot of people are waiting for vfs to open.
I believe, there should be some news from Canada today about the ban.
FB groups are full of "The ban is extended till June 21" and I'm scared.
I got my PPR on 23-Apr and VFS was then closed, what a bad luck :(

So many people have already reached Canada after the ban via indirect route.
I can't even do that since I don't have the stamping :|

Anyway, all the best guys !!

I am in the same boat as you. Hopefully the VFS opens up next week.

Dear All,
I need your help.
Q1. Can I apply PRTD in email for me and my family together or need to send individual email?

I did not receive my first PR Card ,I got COPR on 4th Feb (inland) and I left Canada on 6th April with family on some emergency in India.
Its already 104 days over after COPR and I checked with cic/ forum, they told they were processing Nov2020 months PR in April2021 (PR Card).

Q2. It may take more time a November month has less PR-10,995 and Dec - 24,685 and Jan -23,390 has more, so shall I wait for PR card to be received by July ? or Shall I apply for PRTD? as I want to reach Canada asap.


Thanks,
Neel
I also with same time line . I have quick question if we apply PRTD whether they will still process our PR card ?? Thanks
