I've sent in mine on 2021-11-22 but no update since.. Most people in sheet that are this far in the process appear to have had pretty fast turn around times for passport step. (avg. 1 wk)
VFS did provide one tracking update after receiving:: Your application, tracking ID No. XXXXXXXX has been dispatched to the IRCC Office,on Mon Nov 22 2021 for processing. Vfs & IRCC do not respond to emails, I would like my passport "back" in a few weeks for a trip I have to do ;-)
Anybody else here that has sent in passport after receiving RFV and still waiting for it to be returned?
