mine is around that same date and no update whatsoever. Vancouver definitely seems to be stuck which is strange since why should the place of application matter.

I don't think that will work because the OG parent were citizen on Pakistan at one point and migrated to India in 80s. The OCI form specifically asks - "Whether either of parents or grandparents or great-grandparents of the applicant had ever No been citizen of Pakistan or Bangladesh at any...

hey folks - what is the current approximate timeline for OCI filed at Vancouver BLS. My ackonlwedgment date is 21st Sept and the status is still "under processing". I would like to visit India in December and am getting nervous :(. Please can you share your thoughs/experience? Why is Vancouver...

I sent my fathers passport via the VFS Global two-way courier service. The passport was picked up by Bluedart. However, the destination on Bluedart tracking shows as New Delhi where as Mumbai is my closest VAC and I had chosen Mumbai on the VFS site as well not Delhi. Has anyone else experiences...

hello, I applied for a TRV for my parents a few months back. While my mother got a letter for biometrics, my father didn't. I requested for additional time for my mother to complete her biometrics appointment in the hope that my father will also get his biometric request by then and they can go...

The agent told me on the phone. You will need a PRTD (PR Traveling doc) from the Canadian consulate in India if you go out just on a COPR without the PR card in hand. You can raise a web form requesting the PR card be expedited if you have an emergency but it is on their discretion if they will...

yes - work permit will be invalidated. You cannot travel on the COPR since as soon as the COPR is issued, you work permit gets invalidated. The only other option is to apply for one time entry PR Visa at the Canadian consulate in the country you are visiting. Unfortunately, I was told that it...

Yeah, I got new SIN with the COPR and can do pretty much everything with it that I could be doing with the card EXCEPT travel outside :(.

Hi, I sent my photos the local office which is Vancouver in my case as per instructions in the COPR PDF. Did you guys also send it to the local VO? Are they the ones who actually print the cards or it again goes over to Ottawa? Its been over a month now since I sent my photos and still no...

Hi @djshoki93 No, I didn't had to submit my passport. I was explicitly told that I should not send the passport and that a local visa office will do my virtual landing. The virtual landing took 2 months after I received the PPR.

I was actually told not to submit my passport and that I will be landed virtually. I finally did receive my COPR. From what I have been reading, if you send your passport and your are already inland, they just return your passport without a COPR.

Did you fill all the information correctly? yup..I tried several times..once with UCI once with application number but it is still unable to find me.

thanks - the ECAS link is unable to find me :(

My IRCC account still says that my application is in process. Haven't been told about ECAS at all? Is that a different site? When I call them they just tell me that the Vancouver VO will contact me for virtual landing.

I hear you..it has been a long wait for me as well. I have been waiting on the virtual landing to be done but so far nothing :( and when I call them they just give me the standard reply that the local vo will contact you.

Hi @vvenancio - If you don't mind, may I ask you when did they confirmed your virtual landing? I got a PPR and I replied back saying that I am now in Canada. They said I would be virtually landed but haven't heard anything from them and it has been over a month now. May I ask which VO did your...

None :( Just complete silence from Vancouver local office.

I also called IRCC. And they told me that it takes 30 days for the local office to respond after they put in notes on my application. Did you get a PPR as well?

thanks a lot for sharing that info. How long have you been waiting? Also, if you don't mind, can you request me to be added to the group? I can message you my number. thanks.

Thanks. The posts refer to in-person interview and ours would be a virtual landing. I would have thought that the virtual landing would be faster since there is no appointment needed but that is not the case it seems. will post if there is any update? Are you also waiting for virtual landing?
