I've heard that IRCC does not take DUIs lightly so you should probably wait the full 5 years and not waste your time/money/efforts on putting in a rehabilitation application early. If you did need a TRP they might let it happen for a special enough occasion (e.g., wedding, funeral) but I would...

New York Visa Office. If you want to see the complete timeline, it's in my signature.

My husband received his documents the week after the final decision was made. There may be more delays nowadays due to the pandemic though. Hope that helps ease your mind. You're almost through the process!

I checked and we received auto-generated e-mails from FedEx about 4 hours before VFS sent us the actual shipping labels. Hopefully you receive the shipping labels soon!

I looked at the VFS website just now and yup... it looks like they've done a revamp since we went through the system. Everything about doing PPR through VFS seems to be totally gone. It is unfortunate but it seems like you'll have to contact VFS directly for answers and hope they give you the...

You're welcome, and congratulations!! Hope you have a smooth transition to your new life in Canada!

I didn't encounter your situation so I cannot speak with complete certainty, but it would logically make sense to me to have both you and your wife's information on the same Excel table for VFS. You need your documents to enter Canada, as does your wife as your dependent. It logically (to me)...

Oh interesting! That's nice of them. Glad you got your passport back, congratulations!

Try looking through this thread https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/gcms-notes-well-explained-has-never-before-until-now.390292/ It's got a ton of information about GCMS notes! Hope it helps!

You will need to include an additional envelope inside as well, or else they have nothing to put the return shipping label on to plus nowhere to put your documents to send back to you. And yes, I think we got the same instructions via e-mail, because mine also does not specify to include an...

Yes VFS does a horrible job of their instructions, they really are confusing. Yes, we only filled out the second page of the consent forms, and left all the others as is (though you still have to print the whole thing twice and send it all in your package to VFS).

No, not a safe assumption - my husband (the PA on our application) got his request for medical within 2 months of them receiving the application, and eligibility assessment was not completed until 17 months after they received our application. Also, the point at which the background check and...

I was under the impression that usually the application will be sent to the visa office (VO) closest to where the PA resides (not citizenship), because if an interview is requested you would be requested to attend at the VO where your application is currently located. Someone else can correct me...

1. I believe my husband used a FedEx envelope which is a bit bigger than letter, and then included a letter sized envelope inside for the return envelope. 2. If I remember correctly we were only given a physical copy of the COPR, and we did not have a digital version. Once you receive the...

If your husband is from a visa exempt country, then yes the envelope will only have the COPR as he won't need to send his original passport in. As far as I could tell from the forms, they specifically request the principal applicant's address be given... I am not sure if having a discrepancy by...

You're more than welcome; when we were going through this, we wish that we had someone to guide us in detail through the whole mess, and VFS sure wasn't that someone. If we can help others through this process then we're glad that less people will have to struggle as much. My husband (the PA)...

Okay here is in detail what we did after we got the PPR from IRCC. Note that in my case example, there are no dependents and only the principal applicant is entering Canada via Family Class Sponsorship. The e-mail that I sent in to vfsshippinglabels@vfsglobal.com had their required excel...

Hey congrats on getting this far first of all!! You're almost there!! I am definitely going to reply to you in detail, I just have a lot going on right now but hopefully this weekend I can get back to you to answer in full. Short answers: -yes paid for package transmission fees -from what I can...

Hey that form looks all right! The only thing you could potentially change is that for the "I further authorize the Canadian Security Intelligence Service to disclose to" part, you can write "N/A" instead of your name again since you already have been authorized in the first part and there isn't...

Thank you for sharing! Glad to hear someone else's timeline. I was getting worried because others were saying that on ECAS they could see updates on their PR Card status after they landed, but I didn't see that and thought it was missed somehow. My husband just got his PR card! Sounds like 2-3...
