Got PPR on Dec 16th. Webform submitted on 19th Dec. I am a Premium Lounge customer hence no fees were required. Followed up with an email on 22nd Dec. No AWB from VFS so far. Nobody is picking up the phone at VFS Customer service line. Getting frustrated. Any suggestions from anybody?

Hi everyone,

I applied from Canada along with my dependent (who lives in India). I changed my address on IRCC webforms to India on Dec 8th (I left Canada to India on 12th). I got passport request letter for PR on Dec 22nd. But the address in the passport request letter is still Canadian address :( I submitted another webform on Dec 24th and haven't even got an acknowledgement yet. The request letter says I need to submit the passport in 21 days!!

Problem 1 : I was actually confused if I should wait to hear from IRCC regarding change of address or submit both of our passports anyway (this does not violate any instruction in the request letter).

Problem 2: The request letter asks to submit only a single package. But the VFS webform only allows one webform per passport. They don't respond to calls or emails regarding this. I only have two more weeks for them to receive the passports!! I went ahead and filled a webform today for me and my wife.

Very poor communication from both IRCC and VFS. Very frustrating given that we pay an awful lot of money to both of them.

Please let me know if you know anything about both the problems mentioned above.

Thanks!

Hi guys, my parents submitted passport to VFS. I am trying to track the status but it only shows no records found. It’s been a week VFS received the courier. Can someone please confirm is there any alternative way to track the process after VFS received passports ? Thank you.

Facing the same issue, don't know why....I applied webform on 26th Jan 2022 got my awb no. on same date.
BUt till now no one came for pickup, I tried to call blue dart they are saying that this Air waybill no. is not in their system yet, which means they haven't received any instruction from VFS for pickup

Hi All, I just deleted my post wherein I was complaining about VFS Global being non responsive. However, just couple of hours back the Bluedart executives picked up my parents passport. Below is the timeline:

PPR received: 29-Jan'22
Passport submission webform filled and paid: 31-Jan'22
AWB received: 31-Jan'22
Passports collected: 08-Feb'22

I wrote an email to VFS helpline (passportsubmission@vfshelpline.com) on 3rd and 6th working day. Did not get a response for 3rd but for the 6th working day email got a response saying they have forwarded my details to the pick up team.

Good luck to everyone who are still waiting.

Was your passport submitted at VFS India? New Delhi? Or do you have the email for Delhi VFS?
