VFS Center India not responding for Passport Submission 2-Way Courier Service
- Thread starter Vivekgautam
- Start date
Thank you for starting this thread. I was getting very anxious and nervous but now i can share my thoughts with people with same situation. I received PPR on 7th nov.. trying to contact vfs.. sending mails with reminders but no reply. Don't know how to reach them n book 2 way courier.
Do not follow up once you send mail.. that brings you to the end of queue. My experience.
I tried to follow up daily with them for 5 days -- Nov5th to 10th.. No response. I stopped mailing them. I got response on 13th.
However, I requested for 3 passports to pickup, got 1 pickup. Others to be picked up.
They stopped 'calling' facility to avoid direct questions and instant responses which is increasing work load I believe. Just have patience after sending details.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
@anyone got passport back ? how much time it took ?
For me, they picked one after 14 days of patience (tested to the core). Next day 3 updates, sent to IRCC.
Later on, no updates. Please share your experience in "waiting"

Hello..I have received the passport request on Nov7th.when i send email to IRCC passport submission they had responded for the more information.After sending few emails they responded back that the address i gave is not in pick up service on Nov 17th.And from then no response irrespective of i wait for the response or send daily emails.
Since we need to send the passport with in 30 days of request its really making me anxious.
Anyone know if we need to send 2 seperate emails for my mom's and dad's passport pickup?

I am in the same boat. Got request letter on 7th Nov. Requested for passport pickup today (24th Nov) but they haven't shared the payment link till now. In case they don't reply within 2-3 more days who do I reach out to IRCC to inform them and ask for extension?
IRCC automatically giving clients 90 extra days to submit documents due to COVID-19. This includes passport submissions. No application in progress will be closed or refused due to a lack of documentation or inability to complete the application process in time, such as giving biometrics or completing an immigration medical exam, when travel reopens.
