I sent a printoff of my wife and I’s “about” page, showing that we are listed as married on Facebook.

thanks for the reply! i was just chatting with the VFSglobal people, and they said that the biometrics piece doesnt Need to be included. You just need to sign page 2 of the consent form.

there is a nested set of instructions in the passport request letter saying to write the application number on the back of the photos. i also share your frustration with the website. Using it is a baffling ordeal. on their consent, do you know what you do for the biometrics piece? We’ve...

Did you send your letter off yet? I’m a little perplexed by the guidelines for the photos and getting the shipping in order. What steps did you take?

What did you put on the back of your photos? Also - what steps did you take to get your pictures shipped off? Based on what I’m seeing, we have to send an email to the VAC with a spreadsheet on it, they send us a shipping label and a link to pay for everything, and then we send it off to them...

Ahhh I see. Did you write your application number on the back of the photos? Did you write the photo studio and all that, or just the person’s name?

We did find a place. I have a few questions about using the TTS services website - https://www.vfsglobal.ca/canada/usa/how_to_apply.html They ask for two copies of a consent form, linked here - https://www.vfsglobal.ca/canada/usa/pdf/consent-form.pdf There is a section for biometrics...

So my wife is in a smaller college town, and the only place that would do it gave us a photo on a weird cardstock that scratched easily. CVS and Walgreens would only give us an American-sized 2x2 photo no matter how many times we asked Thanks! I was having a tough time navigating that website...

Hey there - my wife received her passport request. I have a few questions - 1. Are the photo requirements as strict as they are when you initially send out the application? I ask because she is in the U.S.A., and trying to get a passport that fits Canada's specifications was surprisingly...

That's what I was referring to. So the sponsor doesn't need to be included on there, even though there is a spot for the spouse?

I have the exact same question.

Makes sense. My instinct says to hold off on it for now. Canuck - what are your thoughts? You seem to know a lot about this too.

yep! She has been instructed to submit passport photos (she is in the USA, so she only has to send her photos, and not her entire passport, correct?) and yes, it’s New York. Thanks for the guidance! I’ll wait on updating the address.

United States. Visa office appears to be New York.

Kay so my wife got approved before I got a chance to update this I think (she received her passport request letter) - what do I do? Should I still just update my address with IRCC? I’m listed as the representative on the application. My worry is that they’ll try to send the COPR to me in Canada...

I think my wife got approved today. We received a letter asking for her passport (or passport pictures given that she is in a visa-waiver country.) Is she approved? What do we do?

I’d just email them. They’ll clarify that piece for you. I had some questions when I’d filled mine out, and they were very helpful.

I would wait until a few days before researching too vigorously. News is stating that Canada is changing the restrictions for vaccinated individuals.

I’m not sure how to reference that. It’s a USA outland application.
