    Do wife and children get separate passport requests ?

    Initially yes, but upon contacting VFS for further clarification, they informed that the passports need to be sent in separate envelopes and the fees also need to be paid for 2 since there were 2 passports (even if one of them was that of a dependent). So ended up sending the passports and...

    Child born outside of Canada to PR parents

    Thanks for your inputs. Even though I live in Canada, with one person's income (when the spouse isn't working), it does seem like a challenge. Besides family support is available in the home country. Hence weighing the options. As I understand, TRV / Family Class Sponsorship are the only...

    Do wife and children get separate passport requests ?

    Hi, In the VFS portal while booking a two way courier request, what do we need to choose in the dropdown "Number of applicants for passport Submission " ? Is it supposed to be 1 since there is 1 Primary Applicant or should it be equal to the number of PA + dependent(s)?

    Do wife and children get separate passport requests ?

    Just the thread I was looking for! It's quite clear from the previous posts that only 1 PPR message will be sent addressed to the Primary Applicant. I am afraid I am still a bit unclear on whether the passports for PA and dependant need to be sent in separate envelopes or in a single...

    Hi All, In our Family Class application, my spouse is the Primary Applicant (PA) and our child is a dependant. After a long wait, we received a PPR letter via GCkey addressed to my spouse (the PA), which mentions using VFS services in India for passport submission. 1. Should we expect a...

    I don’t think anyone can say with certainty. You can check the detailed timeline a few people have shared to get a tentative idea. It depends on the Visa Office too.

    file will be transferred to the visa office in New Delhi

    Congrats on getting TRV! It's a bit shocking to see that you had applied in April 2023 and there is no news of any updates after the file moved to NDVO. There are some of us who had applied much later (Aug 2023) and not sure what to expect since Background and Eligibility have not moved for...

    Same boat as you, background in progress, eligibility not started, no pre arrival letter either. No update since Nov 20 after medicals passed. Was informed in the SA pdf that file will be moved to NDVO. Wonder when things will move.

    August 2023 Outland Spousal Sponsorship

    Congratulations, it looks like a Ready for Visa or PPR mail! Unless, Step 1 or 2 applicable, go directly to Step 3 - essentially, you need to submit the requested documents in an envelope via VFS. Further instructions on VFS may be available further down in the mail. The passport is picked up...

    Thanks for your prompt response. Our SA was received on Nov 8 too and signed by CPC Sydney at the bottom. However, our SA letter mentions after the first few sentences " The Application for Permanent Residence for your relative(s) will be forwarded to the visa office in New Delhi for further...
