PRTD Processing Time 2022

[CNP]

This forum has helped me so I am passing it to others by helping. I will share my experience while applying for my wife's PRTD. She received her PR status while being in Canada but did not get PR card and had to travel to India. Her case was simple and was not complicated or on Humanitarian basis. Her return ticket is booked on 16 February.

I applied originally via email on 12 December and didnt hear back until 30 December other than automatic acknowledgement email on 12 December. Then I noticed that 1 of my attachment was unable to be opened so I sent all attachment again on 30 December.
Didn't hear back until 26 Jan.

12 Dec- original date of application
30 Dec- noticed mistake in application and re applied after correcting. (did not get any separate acknowledgement by IRCC for the corrected document)
26 Jan - passport request letter from IRCC.
28 Jan- used VFS webform to complete the form for passport submission and AWB generated same day
29 Jan - passport picked up by bluedart.
31 Jan- passport reached Delhi Canada Visa application center
1 Feb- received by IRCC for process.
7 Feb- passport dispatched from IRCC delhi to Visa application center Delhi, also same day Blue dart picked up and is in transit to Ahmedabad.
8 Feb- received call from Bluedart delivery guy that passport is couriered at 8 am but we were not home, requested Bluedart to deliver next day
9 Feb- passport received at home at 10 am. Single entry PRTD approved - valid for 1 year duration from date of approval.

PEARLS AND TIPS:

Sit back tight and do not send frequent emails or calls if your process is under normal processing time.
Make sure to check all your documents in SENT email is able to be reviewed/opened in adobe while you send your package to IRCC.
VFS sends you email at all steps from the time you send your passport to receiving your passport (however we did not get AWB for return courier service but passport arrived pretty quickly in 1 day from Delhi to Ahmedabad)

Total duration if calculated from 30 Dec to 8 Feb is less than 6 weeks. If you do not hear back from IRCC in 4 weeks after applying then it would be worth while to check with them, otherwise keep calm and continue to enjoy your life. !! Hope this experience helps other folks.

Good luck everyone.

My spouse wants to apply, however not able to download the forms.

Would you mind sharing the link to docs? Also a stepwise process please.

Thanks

Hi, sorry for the late reply. I hope you already figured it out, but any signature should work, either printing and signing or e signature in adobe.

Hi,
I received email for my Passport submission from IRCC last week and after four days I received the 2 way courier service from VFS..they provide tracking ID until the package reaches Delhi High commission office and then the IRCC office..After that it is wait time again..Passport reached Delhi IRCC last Friday and am waiting to hear back..It's been one week and still no response.. I was hoping to get my passport by this week..Hopefully I will get it early next week..

Thats great. thanks. is there a way to track the progress of application. Also PPR is sent via which email ID ?

Unfortunately no there is none..they say check website and you will find ( when I asked via emai). But there is no option to track/check PRTD application..we can only check PR or other applications and that too only when your application is being processed..
