timeline and status update for 2-Way passport request from IRCC and process time from VFS , Applicants from India

[TERRIDOX]

My parents got the PPR from gckey account not through email.

Congrats so finally after so many days they sent the email for payment. I'm still waiting to hear back sent email on 26th nov. I have also sent couple of more emails asking them to respond asap.
Do you think anything else I should do or just wait for them to send email

I don't think that there is anything else that you can do for now, but if you are going to send another email to them, try sending it early in the morning (08:00 AM). It's probably nothing, (also could sound funny, but I tried this today and got the payment link.
I am saying this because, I have read the earlier blogs where most of the people were saying that if we call the VFS global helpline number the chances are maximum to talk to an executive when called at or around 08: 00 AM.
I will update if the courier guy shows up tomorrow or if there is any other update.
Good luck!

Actually, I got the email with payment link directly after 3 hours of the reminder mail (sent at 08:00 AM) and I made the payment immediately after that and send the confirmation with attached screenshot of the payment (bank reference number, transaction reference number etc.). It took another hour to get the AWB number from their side after payment.
What kind of additional information they asked for? I didn't get any such email immediately asking for additional information.
Did you check if your address that you mentioned in the email comes under serviceable locations of Bluedart? Try to check that or provide them with an alternate address which you are sure that blue dart provides services to.
Hope that you receive payment link and AWB number soon. Good luck!

yes you should try again tomorrow at or around 08:00 AM and don't send a new email instead, you should forward the same mail you received from passportsubmission@vfshelpline.com and do mention the token number you received first time. good luck!

Hi! congratulations for the progress on your file. Could you please let me know if you get the passport request letter in your GC Key account or via email? Also, what was your application type? Visitor or PR or Student etc.?
Thanks!

For your query,
Once you have made the payment, you have to send another confirmation email with the screen shot of the payment and bank reference number. You will then receive another email with AWB number, consent form, SMS/ courier form and some more instructions like you delivery pick up date and what to write on the envelope.
For the things I put in the package
1) Passport request letter (saved from the email received from DoNotReply-DELHI-Immigration@international.gc.ca)

2) VFS consent form,
3) courier/SMS form,
4) original passport and
5) two photos of 50X70 size with your Name and DOB along with the stamp of the photographer studio having its address on that,on the back of the photo.
For the VFS consent form, I only signed the second page and the 3 and 4 page were left blank.
I hope I made myself clear!
please let me know if u need any further information.

My application type was Work Permit,

Yes, I have sent them an email and now waiting for their email with AWB number. After sending them an email after how much I can expect the AWB details.

I have one query regarding photograph, what size I can see on CIC website is "The frame size must be at least 35 mm X 45 mm". I am confused.

Thanks
