Thanks for your response. I am just curious how long was the actual processing time for people who recently received passport back with CoPR. Was anyone able to find this info in any other forum?

FYI: I got this email just now from VFS: "Your courier package vide AWB# <fedex_tracking_number_of_principal_applicant> containing your Canada visa application documentation has been received at the visa application Centre in New York but yet to be verified. It will be reviewed and forwarded to the Consulate provided it does not have any deficiencies. Information on processing times can be found on IRCC website."
Hi,
I have received my RFV email and the PR application consists of 3 members(1 primary applicant and 2 dependents). The email asks me to send my documents to NY VFS. I created an account on the VFS page(https://www.vfsglobal.ca/PostalAppointment/) to request for 2 way courier labels and added each member as a separate applicant. When the fee was displayed, it showed $67.8 for each member. The email says that we have to send a single package with documents of all the applicants. But I've come across some posts saying that each passport should be in a separate envelope.
so my queries are-
1. When people say "different envelopes" do they mean 3 separate envelopes which finally goes into 1 package and gets sent as 1 courier or do I have to send 3 separate couriers.
2. Because the price was displayed as $67.8 for each applicant, does that mean that I'll receive 3 courier labels(1 for each member) so that I can send them separately or was I supposed to add only the primary applicant so that I would receive just 1 label for the entire family.
3. Is the cost $67.8 right because I saw a post saying that the price was $22 and another post where the price was $90.
I'm not sure how well I've explained my issue. Hope there's someone who can help. I'm really confused at this point. The website does not mention anything clearly and I'm super worried.

I did not receive the email you both are referring but I got application tracking id for primary and all dependent applicants from VFS. Application status shows as "Your application, tracking ID No. ####### has been dispatched to the IRCC Office, on 2022/03/10 for processing. ".
Please see my response below for your queries based on how I responded to VFS after I received my RFV email.
1. When people say "different envelopes" do they mean 3 separate envelopes which finally goes into 1 package and gets sent as 1 courier or do I have to send 3 separate couriers.
Comment - You need to send packages in 3 separate couriers. I sent 4 separate packages on 23-FEB-22 for me and my dependents and got 4 application tracking ids from VFS today.
2. Because the price was displayed as $67.8 for each applicant, does that mean that I'll receive 3 courier labels(1 for each member) so that I can send them separately or was I supposed to add only the primary applicant so that I would receive just 1 label for the entire family.
Comment - You will receive 3 courier labels (1 for each member with onward and return labels)
3. Is the cost $67.8 right because I saw a post saying that the price was $22 and another post where the price was $90.
Comment - I paid $90.60 for each member ($67.8 for label + $22.80 for package transmission fee).
note - I did not generate courier label myself via online account. I got the payment link generated by VFS and made the payments then they sent me invoices and courier labels in email for each member. I hope fees and separate labels for each member will be the same in online process as well.
Thanks for your response.
I still have a couple of doubts-
1. In the RFV email, STEP 3 mentions that we have to submit 2 photos of each applicant, 1 set of photos with details written behind the photo enclosed in 1 envelope and the remaining photos of all the applicants in another envelope. If we are sending 3 different packages then that point does not make sense right? how can we send separate packages for each applicant AND send photographs in a common envelope? Could you please clarify that point for me?
2. The first requirement in the list of documents is "one copy of this letter". But we did not receive any letter on our portal, nor was there any attachment in the email. So by "letter" they meant the RFV email right?
I would really appreciate it if you could maybe share your contact no. with me so that I can get a better understanding over a call. That's if you don't mind.

Basically, you need to ignore most of the things written in RFV email and follow what VFS online account instructions says. Here are the responses to your questions.
1. You need 2 photos for each person in the application. In one of the two photos, you need to write a set of things as mentioned in RFV email. Since you will be sending three separate courier, enclose that person’s 2 photos in the envelope corresponding to that person.
2. “one copy of the letter” is referring to the RFV email itself. Print it out. Since there are 3 couriers, print 3 copies
There is one thing about the fees. The 67.8$x3 will be paid via credit card on online account (that is needed and only then the courier labels will be generated). Now, there is this package transmission fee of 22.8$. Get 3 money orders of 22.8$ each and enclose one money order in each of the envelopes.
one more thing: once you pay the fees online, it will generate the courier labels in 1 PDF and it will generate instructions on another PDF. Those instructions will precisely tell you what all to enclose, so just follow that

Hi guys,
My passport got delivered at VFS New york on 22nd february. I used the fedex labels from fedex office, didnt get them from VFS website. They didnt open the package yet, i keep on calling them.

hi, I got my passport delivered on 22nd Feb and just today I received this email - Your application, tracking ID No. XXX has been dispatched to the IRCC Office, on Tue Mar 15 2022 for processing. One question here -
My approval letter mentioned being sent in 30 days which was from 10th Feb. So will there be an issue since vfs is sending on 15th March?
