My wife's mom and sister both got Canadian visas. Their passport number is 10 digits long, but on the visa, the passport number is missing the last digit, they are only 9 digits long. Is this an error? It has happened on both passports, so I assume it's correct, but still seems strange.

My wifes family got a passport request letter today, and they want to send their passports to VFS with a courier rather than going into the city themselves. There is a form on the VFS website "VFS Consent Form" that we need. In the form, there is one section about "Indirect...

My wife (PR) is sponsoring her mom for a normal visitor visa. We have a couple questions about documents and their translations. - For the national identity document, does this need to be translated, or can it just be uploaded as is? - Since it will be uploaded to the site, do I need a...

I am 99% sure I know the answer to this, but just want to double check. My wife moved to Canada as a PR 1 year ago. I am a Canadian Citizen, and we are looking to travel in September to Thailand. The rules state that the PR must live in Canada for 2 years during a 5 year period. I assume that...

Hello! I am a Canadian citizen who was living abroad with my wife for the last several years. We just returned to Canada on April 15 of this year. I was reading about the HST rebate, to see if/when I can expect to get it...

Hey everyone, My wife has finally landed in Canada. We want to get her a SIN so that she can start working, but we seem to be at a brick wall. It asks for 3 documents. A Primary, Secondary, and proof of address. We plan to do this... Primary: COPR Secondary: Foreign passport Proof of...

Last week we sent my wifes passport to the VFS center in Moscow. They forwarded it to IRCC to get the stamp. Today we recieved this message in the VFS tracker. Is this phrasing normal? I was expecting it to be 'your passport has been sent' rather than 'decision envelope'. Is there any...

We didn't get any response from Warsaw. It could be a coincidence, but the PPR came so soon after my email, I can't be sure. Though, the Russian invasion could have spurred them into action on the Russian/Ukranian files.

So if I understand, you had 2 visa's printed? First time your visa was issued in Moscow, and second time in Warsaw?

Probably my wife. I post here, she posts there.

I got the request on Thursday morning. When shit hit the fan. I emailed them in the morning asking for them to speed things up so we can leave. About 90 minutes later, we had PPR.

We submitted my wifes passport today to VFS Moscow. We got an email with a tracking number, but we don't have a reference number. Any idea where we can find this reference number?

Yeah, we have already had the passport sent off to Warsaw. She doesn't have a Shengen visa, so going to another VO isn't possible. All we can do now is wait. We have confirmation that the passport is on the way to the VO, so at least we know that it will go.

I am a Canadian citizen. On Thursday, we got a passport request for her Canadian PR. I want us both to leave Russia ASAP, but it seems like it can be a few weeks before she is able to get her passport sent for the visa. Does anyone know of any way that we could get an emergency travel...

Really strange. In the new tracker Yeah, we will have them pick it up on Monday, to drop off Tues/Wed. Strange thing though. In this new tracker, it says that on Feb 23 they sent us a message (PPR) and that on 24, they got our passport. However, in GCKey, it still shows 'your action is...

It's quite stupid, they are only open Mon-Wed, so their chat didn't work today. Because of this, we couldn't sent it in yet. Really confused about this courier thing. We don't see a way to pre-pay for a shipping lable, so I don't know exactly what to do.

50x70mm, right? This is the documents list they have on the website for Moscow. - We did biometrics for a different visa, so we didn't/don't need them now. Do we need to include the Copy of VFS receipt? - When it says 'A duly completed courier request form...' What is it that we are supposed...

I keep finding conflicting information, so hopefully someone here has first-hand experience. My wife and I are currently in Russia, and want to get out. We have 2 cats though, that we will bring with us. I know that the Candian rules say that they need a rabies vaccine, but there is no...

Yeah, unfortunately it seems as if it will be a few weeks before we can actually leave. We hope to send off the passport tomorrow, and aren't really sure how soon to expect it back. Not only that, but we will need to start selling things, and getting our cats vaccinated.

If anyone here is from Russia, I have some advice. I messaged the warsaw visa office today (WSAWIMMIGRATION@international.gc.ca), and asked them to please look at my application. I expressed my worry about the situation, and desire for us to move to Canada ASAP. We had received Pre-Arrival a...
