Hi Folks,
I landed on Dec 9th on Surrey, BC border by car. I have my tickets booked to travel to India on evening of Jan 31st.
Current processing time is showing 54 days. I am hopeful of card arriving by that time.
Can someone please suggest following:
1-Realistically, when can I expect my card to arrive?
2-Is entry by land any faster/slower than processing time shown on CIC website?
3-What is the estimate time to get travel document from VFS new delhi. I did some research and found timeline all the way fro 5 days to 1 month. Any one has recent experience can share?
1. Sorry to bring the bad news but by current standards there is no chance. It is taking 60 days for cards to get approved and then 3-5 days for receiving them in mail so it would be around Feb 9-15 for you. Christmas holidays will only add to the delay. So no chance, unless IRCC adds more resources. (note that phot requests have also gone up).
2. Nope
3. No idea, hopefully someone else can answer.
