congratulations, can you please share your timeline..

you can’t go in person to submit passport, go to vfs india site there is option to submit request for passport pickup n drop off for stamping, you have to fill it,pay the fee n then u will receive an email later with awb number and instructions, get the passport ready in an envelope as instructed, blue dart personnel will come n pick them up if your postal code is serviceable, else u have to drop in their office i believe

i think yes, but not sure though…let someone who has done that way reply so that u can confirm..to my understanding this address is just for courier persons n has nothing to so with our passport address or the address we have given in application

hi, im applying to visit my sister which is canadian PR, im going with my spouse and 2 kids, for myself i selected "im visiting sibling" option and for spouse and kids i chose visit other family or friends, for them i need to upload invitation letter but for myself i could not find any place to upload invitation letter. I also could not find a place to upload documents regarding my employment letter or any other documents to support my ties to my current country of residence. should i just proceed with the current application and wait for officer to request for additional documents?

I am on a work permit in Canada and I wish to invite my mom on a visitor visa.
I wanted to ask if I can apply through the new IRCC portal and if yes, what option do i choose ?
To visit other family who are not listed above for less than 6 months ,right ?
or something else
Appreciate your response on the same
