Hi,

I applied for a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) inside Canada after receiving my Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) approval on August 1st, 2024. It's been almost two months since my application, and I haven't received any updates aside from the submission confirmation.

Is anyone else in a similar situation, or does anyone know if this delay is normal? How long does the TRV approval process typically take?

Additionally, I need to travel to my home country urgently. Is it possible to get my TRV stamped outside Canada after applying from within? Any advice or information would be greatly appreciated.
Also do I need to inform the IRCC if I intend to travel before getting TRV approval?
Thank you!

Current in-land processing time is 27 days so your application is past normal processing time. You should request status by submitting a webform.

It's not recommended to leave Canada without TRV as processing time could be longer from your home country and you will not be able to travel back without a TRV.

Dose that affect stamping processing time?
Do we need to raise webform?
And which VFS center in India where we can send passport for stamping?

Would suggest advising IRCC that you have left Canada and are in India. You will be directed where to send passport. There are no guarantees when you will get stamping so you need to be prepared to remain in India until you get stamping.

I received my approval on November 4th, but I was in India at the time. So, I visited the nearest VFS center to courier my passport to the IRCC office.

I did not inform IRCC about my travel to India, as I thought it might cause further delays. Also, an immigration lawyer advised me to go to India, wait for the approval, and then submit my passport to the nearest VFS center. Once I received the approval, I visited the VFS center in India, where they accepted my passport for processing.
