I have the same issue, I have tried in a few drive test centre’s and also took an attested copy of DL from the consulate, they still won’t accept it. I believe they are accepting only the chip based licenses these days. You will have to wait the entire time of 8/12 months for your G2.

Has anyone in this group have a paper based license from India that was not accepted by DriveTest centers and have tried the DL Attestation option from the Indian Consulate to get their experience added. Please share your experiences. I have a paper based license issued from Kolkata RTO and...

Hi Members, I recently moved to Ontario from India. I was told that India driving experience would be considered in Ontario and the wait times to get to a G2 or G will be reduced and we can take these tests immediately. I had a license issued by Pune RTO in 2005 which then, was paper based. I...

Thanks for the reply. Yes, we have updated IRCC about the new passports.

Hi Members, My wife, primary applicant, received a passport submission request on the CIC portal on 11/15. We raised a Webform on VFS for passport submission yesterday (11/24), but have not received any response yet from VFS with Payment link. Can some one help with the below questions 1. What...

One more question. What should I fill in "Did you enrol Biometrics for this application?" in the VFS webform. My wife and I had completed the biometrics before. Should I select the option as "No" or do i select "Yes". Will selecting yes mean, I will have to get biometrics doen again?

Thanks for your reply. I got confused by IRCC letter which quoted "All required documents must be submitted in one single package." I thought they want to me to send documents for all applicants in one single package.

Hi Members, My wife is the primary applicant for the PR and we received the letter to submit passports. We are a family of 3, my wife (Primary applicant), myself and our son as dependents. When I get to the VFS website for two-way courier submission, it asks me to enter details of the Passport...

Hi all, I had received my CoPR approved before March 18, 2020. We wanted to do a soft landing, but could not travel due to COVID related travel restriction and my CoPR expired in April 2020. I got a 7 pointer mail in Oct asking if I am ready to travel, to which I did not respond as it asked for...

I received the 4 point email in October and was asked to respond within 10 days if I can travel within 60 days. Towards the end of the mail the below point caught my attention "In order to continue processing your application, we must receive your response within 10 days of receipt of this...

India officially in lockdown until 3rd May. DGCA issued a notification that domestic and international flight operations are suspended until 3rd May 11:59 PM. My CoPR expires on 4/27, so I would not be able to travel due to travel restrictions. I am planning to raise a webform and notify...

I will not be able to travel as the lockdown is almost certain to be extended, even if lockdowns are lifted, it would still take a couple of weeks before air travel is restored and it would be past my CoPR expiry date. The aviation minister has said that domestic and international flight...

I empathize with all members who have made all plans to settle in Canada and are stuck in a limbo due to COVID19. This is a very unprecedented crisis that the whole world is going through. The crumbling economy worldwide will take sometime to recover and for all things to get back to normal. It...

I got a generic response when I raised the webform and that is why I reached out to NDVO. The NDVO response was a little bit comforting, but still not sure what would happen if India lifts restrictions on travel. There are very limited to no travel options available as most of the airlines have...

Below is the response I got. They did not mention that they are reopening the application. Everything will depend on when the travel restrictions are eased out...
