Hello All,

I got passport request for my parents visitor visa today, I am not sure about next steps to submit passport to VFS Ahmedabad.

Just to give you brief, My parents taken some premium longue service while they given biometrics as some executive said that it will help you to collect and drop your passport when your visa comes and all.. Should I still need to pay any charge for it?

Can someone guide me through detailed steps like what all documents need to be given, how to request for it and all? Do I need to fill two separate forms or request to be done for both mon and dad?

Thank you.

And for members who are curious to know about timeline:

Applied Via GC Key : 30/9/21
Biometrics done : 8/10/21
Reapplied on IRCC: 21/10/21
BVL & PPR: 28/1/22

Fill VFS webform and pay the shipping fee (2 way service)
wait for Bluedart to pickup shipment
Processing takes 2-3 weeks
Blue dart will deliver the back to door step after VFS and IRCC processing.

Thanks for your reply buddy.

Should I be creating two envelops for both applicants? (Mon and Dad)

Hey quick question. Did you apply visitor visa for your parents in the same application or separate? Using your GCKEY or theirs? Can you elaborate a little. Thanks.

I did for both in the same application. Totally new GC key of them in order to avoid any complexity.

I signed up for new account on GC key and made my dad primary applicant and Mom to be coming with him, hence, 2 applicants on 1 application.

After a month I signed up on IRCC portal and did same thing and just provided UCI number so that it populated biometrics automatically there and also kept same information on both.

What reason should we select for Why do you need a visa? I don't see exactly visit children? except for super visa.

Not sure about current options they are providing. I selected as below:
Why do you need a visa?
To unite with an immediate family member who is a Canadian citizen, person registered under Canada's Indian Act or permanent resident of Canada

After approval, did you get any message in new portal? For my spouse, after approval, I can see that there's a message below but there is nothing under "message" after original passport submit request. Can you please help ?

I'm checking under "Messages about your application" in trv application. I got all messages there. Last message was about original passport request.

Am I checking at correct place ?
