Thank you so much for the prompt response. Totally makes sense to defer the Super Visa application until I receive an NOA. However, is there a particular reason why I'd have to be cautious while applying for the TRV? I have a PR (soft-landed last year, but moved recently), so since this is a...

Hello, @scylla. Thank you so much for the valid suggestion. I apologize for the delayed response. As you'd mentioned, going with option 3. We relocated to Canada a few weeks ago. Now, wondering as to what would be the suggested approach to have my mom here for the long term: 1) Apply for a...

Hi all, I will be moving to Canada permanently later this year from USA and I wanted to get some guidance on how my mom could apply for a Canadian visitor visa. She has a valid US visitor visa and is currently living in our home country. My move to Canada is still a couple of months away and...

@ Hi, did you end up selecting the "none of the above" option? Can you please share the status of your application?

Thank you so much! This definitely helps clarify a few things. Great to know that it's possible to send documents immediately. Need to keep our fingers crossed about not being called for an in-person interview. If the second option is selected, would you happen to know if there's a requirement...

Thank you for clarifying. Yes, I believe we might be eligible for dropbox in Canada as well since we have our PR cards and have a previous US visa. We'll have to depart US and travel to India, but still trying to figure out the dropbox process in Canada. @kris72, could you please chime in on...

Hi @harirajmohan / @kris72 , would really appreciate your thoughts/guidance with an urgent situation. My spouse and I need to travel to India from the US and my partner needs to get an H-4 stamping. On filling out the questionnaire, to our surprise, the application qualified for a visa waiver...

Hi @devregati, thumba thanks for answering and sharing your thoughts. It's helpful :) Had a couple of clarifications to plan this out: 1) Would you happen to know the current timeline of how long dropbox appointments + processing times are taking in Canada (if our case is not regarded as an...

Thank you, @swan0206. Really appreciate you answering the questions and providing details. A visa interview would've worked well for us considering this would be the first H-4 visa stamping, but the application got qualified for a visa waiver. Unfortunately, there are no dropbox slots in India...

@devregati (Namaskara -- in case you're a Kannadiga based on your username) :) Can you please share your thoughts on our situation - my spouse needs to urgently travel to India, but we're unable to find any dropbox appointments until 2023 in order to return to the US (we'll be permanently...

Hi all, need some guidance - my spouse and I are Canadian PRs currently living in the US. My spouse needs to urgently travel to India, but we're unable to find any dropbox appointments until 2023 in order to return to the US. For some context, my partner previously had an F-1 student visa and...

Thank you for responding back and clarifying. Yes, the border officer did collect a copy of the CoPR with the photo. In the process, I did provide an Alberta address (out of BC) and I was told I'd receive the card in about 6 weeks. Sorry, do I have to link the PR card application to GCKey? I'm...

Hi @CNP and others, is there a requirement that a PR card application needs to be filed explicitly? I did a soft landing via Peace Arch in Dec 2021 and I was told that I'd be getting the PR card in about a month. Is the general guidance to apply externally or to contact IRCC? It's been more...

You'd have to contact VAC in NYC. Firstly, contact their email to get FedEx labels. You'll have to send your passports in different envelopes, if applicable.

Hey, it took a little more than a week for the passports to get back to my place. I suspect if the Thanksgiving break resulted in delays. I'd follow-up with the VFS helpline to track the package. If you have the FedEx tracking number, that might help, too.

Hi @regguise , did you get an update to your address situation? Were you able to change your address?

Hi all, We tentatively planned to do a land border crossing from Seattle via Peace Arch in the first week of December. We have our flight and accommodation booked, but with the recent unfortunate events in British Columbia, we are wondering if it would still be possible to go ahead with our...

Great, that's really helpful! Thank you so much for clarifying, @kris72 and @swan0206 .

Gotcha. Thank you for clarifying. I'll look to see if this can be done in-person. Appreciate your suggestions :)
