I submitted by passport in VFS Hyderabad on March 15. Received a confirmation that it has been received by NVDO on March 17. Since then the tracking status still shows the same update that "it is being processed in New Delhi". I have a travel coming up on Apr 19th and really worried now.
I have sent multiple emails to the Delhi Immigration and also submitted an urgent request letter to VFS Hyderabad last week. Still no updates?

Anybody here who have submitted in March and still awaiting for updates? This is really crazy. Pathetic turnaround time.
19th March i submitted, still it is being processed... :D

Hi, I submitted my passport at VFS New Delhi on Apr 2. It reached Canadian Visa Office on Apr 3. Visa issued Apr 6 (as per the visa stamp on passport). Passport available for collection email and sms received on Apr 12.

Picked up my passport just 30 mins back. Heading for office, already late. Lol.

Could you please elaborate in which category have you applied for visa?

Permanent Residency. FSW-O (Express Entry)
Okay, that's nice. Are you the PNP candidate? Because even my husband's category is FSW - O and he is a PNP candidate. We submitted our passports on 27th. Still no update. Just wanted an idea regarding their working culture

He already said he is FSW. Do you mean to say your husband is PNP-Outland under Skilled Worker like OINP-HCP?

Anyway, passport stamping has nothing to do with the stream. I guess they stamp visas according to priority like visa expiry (but didn’t happen to us), or the workload too.

You will receive soon. All the best.

Thank you for your wishes

I am not a PNP candidate. No idea about how the process passports, I met someone at the VFS New Delhi office, who submitted his passport of Apr 03-04, and was collecting it the same day when I was.

I guess passport stamping has nothing to do with express entry category. I believe your husband should get back his passport soon. Do keep checking the VFS tracker. I did not get any SMS/ email updates until the very last day. I relied on the tracker for updates.
