Hi, it turned out that the prearrival letter means that the eligibility has been approved. My husband received the medical exam after the visa office opened again and now he is here in Canada! So recieving the prearrival letter before the medical exam doesn't really mean anything. You should be...

We didn't recieve an email that the passport has been dispatched from IRCC to vac. We only recieved an email stating that the passport has been recieved at vac and that was on September 16th. My husband recieved the passport from Aramex on September 20th. But just a little note, we sent the...

Prearrival means his eligibility has been approved and that they are working on the background check and such. Since he lives in Syria, could the delay be because it's hard to obtain or process any background information there? Or could they be doing extra checks due to the situation in Syria...

Thank you! I hope that as well. He mailed his passport on August 27th, and he recieved it back on September 20th.

I hope everyone is doing fine. My husband landed yesterday and the process was very smooth. He did a covid test before traveling (required by etihad airways) however it is not required from Canada and they didn't ask to see the results. Of course he has to quarantine for 14 days. He was given a...

I believe that they send passports back to vfs in batches. While my husbands passport was under process he talked with vfs on chat, and they told him that everything is fine and that they are going to recieve a new batch of passports and his passport might be in it. And it was true he recieved...

They send the pre-arrival letter when the principal applicants eligibility has been approved. My husbands application is completed and when they updated all the dates on gckey I noticed that the date that they approved the eligibility was a day before we received the pre-arrival letter.

I will share my husband's experience when he arrives to Canada. Also, I am ready to help if anyone has any questions. I just hope everything goes smoothly without any airport closures. The rising of covid numbers is making us worried.

You can ask as much as you like, it's my pleasure to help. I believe that he can just inform them his plan at the airport. I know many people that came to Canada during covid and they just explained their plan to the officer. They weren't landing but I don't think it is different, right? My...

My husband has recieved his passport back today with COPR. Finally, I feel very relieved now. I wish everyone will hear good news very soon. Thank you everyone, this thread has been very useful for us, it helped us in many ways. Best of luck for all.

Hi, Actually, we shipped the passport to amman with aramex. So when vfs told us that the passport was ready for pick up, we informed aramex that we want the shipment back from vfs and gave them the same tracking number we recieved when they shipped it to amman. They sent a confirmation link to...

Thank you so much! No, no email was sent to check gckey, we were checking it everyday and on day 5 everything was changed. Wishing you and everyone else on this forum all the best.

I believe it depends what visa office you sent your passport to. We sent my husbands passport to amman vfs not erbil. Here is our timeline for the passport: 30-8-2020: Passport received in vfs amman 30-8-2020: Passport dispatched to IRCC office (email1) 2-9-2020: Application received and under...

Yes we have recieved updates through email, vfs will also send a tracking number that you can use on their website to check the status of your passport. Even after aramex picked up the passport from them, the tracking showed that the passport was picked up.

You are most welcome! Yes, everything was changed to approved and all the dates were updated.

You are most welcome. GCKey was updated 5 days after IRCC started processing the passport.

Thank you! Best of luck for everyone

Today vfs amman has recieved the passport back from IRCC and it is now ready for collection. So the processing in IRCC took 2 weeks, and the whole process from the day vfs recieved the passport till the day they got it back took around 18 days. We are now arranging with aramex to pick it up and...

Today GCkey was updated and the application is approved. It took 5 days from the date that IRCC recieved the passport and started processing. All the application steps were updated as well with the exact dates that each step was completed. Just a little note that according to the dates the...

We have already recieved an email stating that the passport has been received by the IRCC and that they have started processing. I hope that we see an update on gckey by next week. Even though we are almost done, I feel that we can't wait any longer! Thank you so much for your help!
