I submitted my Passport through Visa Application Centre(VAC) in London which is basically a VFSGLOBAL office on 29th April, 2014. Is anyone here who exprienecd the same method of Passport submission like me. VAC gave me time of 7 woring days and still I am waiting for their call, sms or email. I understand It is very surprise for you guys to know the new procedure of passport submission for UK residents. BUT THIS IS THE MESSAGE ON LAST PAGE OF PPR FORM.
Submitting your passport(s), photos and updated information
For security reasons, your visa(s) can only be issued by our office in London. You must submit your package through the Visa Application Centre (VAC) in London. *( please note fees apply)
To submit your package via the Visa Application Centre (VAC):
Please visit the VAC website for details on how to submit your package for secure transmission and for issuance of the permanent resident visa(s). http://www.vfsglobal.ca/canada/UnitedKingdom/index.html
You should expect to be without your passport(s) for six weeks, so do not arrange any travel that will require your passport(s) during this period.
If you have not heard from us after six weeks, you may contact us using the email form on our website. We will not respond to queries received during this six week period.
What is the suggestion for me guys, first should I wait for six week then contact them or as per VAC instruction a week later.
For security reasons, your visa(s) can only be issued by our office in London. You may submit your package by courier, mail, in our drop box or in person to a receptionist.
In my document also they mentioned to be without passports for 6 weeks and i think we should contact to them if we will not recieved passport after 6 weeks. I am still waiting for my passports and hoping for best. I wish you passports also come quickly because i am also going through this painfull time
