I am a female international student in Canada.
My husband applied for TRV PAPER APPLICATION from Abu Dhabi on 17 Dec 2014 and He almost BEGGED them to keep his passport as he do not need to travel anywhere while the application is being processed BUT They did not keep the passport with the application package.
Anyway He has received an email from CVO on 4th Jan 2015. which is as below:
Email says:
Dear Applicant/Cher(e) Client(e),
We would like to inform you that your correspondence has been dispatched from the Canada Visa Office, on 04 Jan 2015 to the Canada Visa Application Centre.
You can track the status of your application through our website mentioned below using your tracking number.
But on the Tracking page the status is also same as this email.
Q1: We tried to call VFS nobody picking up the phone, also tried to email them: ON ONE HAND THEY SENDS AN EMAIL
"Dear Applicant,
Thank you for writing to the Canada Visa Help Desk.
With reference to your query, we are pleased to inform you that your application with tracking number 2014xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx is ready for collection at the Visa application Centre.
The Passport collection timings are from 4:00 pm – 5:00 pm from Sunday – Thursday except public holidays.
Applicant may personally visit our Visa Application Center with the original receipt to collect their passport and if a representative may wish to collect the passport on behalf of the applicant then he/she will be required to furnish an authorization letter along with the original receipt and his/her identity copy at the collection counter."
AND ON OTHER HAND THEY SAYS:
"Please be informed that Canadian Embassy sends the passport/letter in a sealed envelope and we are not authorized to open the same.
The decision on your visa (Granted/ Rejected) can be only checked upon collection/delivery of the passport/letter to the applicant and not earlier."
Q2: The VFS CVAC website clearly says that if the application of TRV is approved then an applicant will receive an email requesting passport submission and if the application is refused the applicant will receive a letter stating the reasons of refusal, so does this mean that my husband's visa is refused?
Q3: If the meaning of correspondence is a "paper letter" then aren't we suppose to receive this letter through "Mail/courier" because we submitted paper application.
Q4: If the application is refused then why they are not telling us on email or on tracking page? why they want my husband to visit VAC office ? just to read the refusal letter? OR there is still possibility that in this letter there is a good news and they ask my husband's passport to submit ?
Q5: What DOES THIS TERM MEAN? "Application ready to collection"
Q6: If they do not know the decision in the letter then why they are telling us the passport collection timings ?
Q7: Passport collection from who ? FROM Client/Applicant ... OR ...... FROM VFS CVAC office (when after the process they returns the passport)?
Please suggest.
Lonely and depressed wife, Praying for her husband to join her in CANADA.
