Hi congratulations!
You will be receiving an email from VFS global along with a text message soon (most probably today evening at or around 7: 00 PM). This email will be a bit confusing as it would have subject line "Requested additional details" and the body of email would contain text like, "VFS global staff has following observations regarding your application". They will mention a tracking ID number starting from 2020........... which will be assigned to your application after verifying the contents of the package. This would be for tracking the status on VFS global site under track your application tab. You would need to provide this tracking number and date of birth to track the status.

However, the same status would be sent to you whenever your application moves like from VFS to IRCC office and then back at regular intervals.
You will be getting couple of emails in coming days regarding the same.

The AWB number would be for later use, once our application has been processed (stamped) and dispatched from IRCC office. The same could be tracked on Bluedart tracking, but only after the VFS global office has handed over the shipment to Bluedart.
So, wait patiently and soon you will be getting your stamped passport back (the current waiting time is 10-14 days once the envelope has been delivered at New Delhi).

All the text of such emails would be confusing, so don't worry about these.

Anyone here got their passport picked up from Bangalore? They said my address in Bangalore is non serviceable and gave a Blue dart office address in Vishakapattanam, Andhra Pradesh claiming that it is the nearest office available to me. I am so confused right now.
I am in the same situation. What did you do?

Thanks a lot for sharing this link. SUper helpful.

The courier pick-up date was mentioned in the email was today Dec 11th, but we waited the whole day and no one came/called to pick up the packages ?
Should we send a reminder email to IRCC or wait for tomorrow for the courier guy to arrive ?
Wait for tomorrow. If pickup not done in 72 hours then you can can contact VFS via email passportsubmission@vfshelpline.com

meanwhile you can contact your nearest blue dart office to get details about pickup.

Yes it might take some time and usually it is updated once it will be dispatched from VFS office. You will get another email that it has been processed and dispatched to VAC or something like that and then the tracking number would start working.
Wait for another email.
Good luck!

Congratulations, it was really quick for you.
I have the same status now, but Bluedart tracking number not updated yet.
My GC Key account got updated too and my file is approved.
