    Soft landing experience at YYZ

    @anandsin Happy to help! 1. Yes, I gave a mailbox number to IRCC for my address, but make sure it's written as a "Unit" number and not "Box" number. They won't accept a P.O. Box or the like. 2. Yes, the service I use, Anytime Mailbox, allowed for forwarding the card. Once it was received at my...

    Soft landing experience at YYZ

    Hi all, I thought I'd provide an update on how my soft landing was at Pearson Airport (YYZ) on 22 November 2023. I arrived around 10:00 and brought my entire folder of application documents with me just in case. After scanning my passport at the kiosk, I was directed by the agent checking...

    I did. It was quite expensive, somewhere around $77 USD, and the process was confusing but it worked in the end. Did you receive confirmation that the package reached VFS already?

    Try sending an email to the address that @Ayushi77 provided two posts before yours. 40 days is too long but I did see another case on Reddit where the applicant was waiting 11 weeks total.

    NY VAC - Processing Timeline/Delays

    Yeah our timelines our quite similar but it sounds like IRCC received your passports a week after mine. I can't advise much on having it urgently processed.. I have emailed IRCC's New York office last week to enquire about how much longer I should expect this to take and received no response. If...

    I hope not, but I'm thinking it will come next week based on other timelines I've seen. With the Thanksgiving holiday earlier this week I expected there would be a little delay. I'm cautiously planning a soft landing trip for 22 November now with refundable flights
