Hi All,
for those who are in situation like us, this is for you
Me and my husband had jointly applied for PR.
My husband is in Canada and I am staying in Mumbai India. We received our invitation in January 2017.
Later we submitted the documents in Apr 2017.After three months of waiting we finally received our passport submission mail(PPR) on 21st Jun 2017.
we were not sure what to do? how to do? as I was in India and It was not possible for me to travel Canada because of my work constraints. Even though I am having visa I
I had visited Canada before. We had followed a lot of blogs here and mailed CIC to change my visa office to Mumbai, India. Even I called VFS several times.
But every time I received the same reply that I should come only after I have CIC confirmation mail that I can submit my passport in India.
So, we have decided to send my husband's passport to Ottawa as he was in Toronto, Canada. And along with that we also sent a cover letter asking for my location
to change to India.
My Husband sent his passport on 10th July 2017 and he finally received it on 12th of August 2017.There was no instruction about my passport. Neither we received any mail from CIC for updated location. Only me Husband COPR letter had my name in his dependent applicant list.
I decided to visit VFS Mumbai. I had taken My husband immigration visa copy and COPR copy ,my Passport, The initial mail printout which we received on 21st Jun 2017 and
Two photographs as asked in that mail. And visited the counter in VFS Mumbai. To our surprise VFS only checked the mail i.e. 21st June mail and asked me to submit the
passport with two photographs. They only charged me approx. 1000 including Courier and all services.
For those who are waiting for CIC mail to change your dependent location to home country, we will suggest you not to wait. Just visit the nearest VFS center with your original mail
and documents asked, don’t waste two months’ time as we did. Also, though the submission window was for 30 days, I had submitted mine after almost 52 days. And I received
my passport back within 2 weeks without any issue.
So, don’t worry just be calm and keep positive attitude.
PS: We are specially efforts to write this replied as these blogs helped us a lot to find the answers. Maybe we can help someone with this.
Thank you,
Snehal
