Any idea whether Hyderabad VFS centre has a working "Photo Booth" on site. They used to have it in 2018 and I heard that it is non existent post Covid. Any recent info about the "Photo Booth" at VFS-Hyderabad ?

My timelines are similar. I got the PPR on Oct/24. I have couple of questions on subsequent steps (1) going to VFS and submitting the documents (PPR from IRCC, Passports. Pictures. VFS-Consent letter) to VFS and no fees is required - right ? (2) Is there anything else to be done ?

I read in this forum that one needs to enter Canada (landing) before the expiry of Medicals (which is 1 yr from the point of medical examination). Is that TRUE ? Because, they give you 6months/1year to land post completion of all processes. This doesnt add up - if 1 year to land before the...

I got a message form IRCC and they sent me a pre-arrival services letter. What are the next steps ? How long will it take for the process to complete from here ? Thanks

Looks like some folks were able to make a phone call to IRCC and I never had that luck. Appreciate if you can let me know the phone contact was made. I applied Oct-2nd week of 2021. I was asked for my birth cert/Aadhaar card in May and I uploaded them in June first week. So far there is no...

Can you please provide the number used to reach IRCC. I tried many times but was unsuccessful. Was wondering as to how you were to able to connect over phone. Thanks for the help

What is their phone number ?

Quick question: I got a notification to the linked account related to sponsorship of PR for my parents asking for additional documentation. I uploaded the documents required by IRCC through the linked account. After uploading the required documents, the website asks electronic signature. My...

Thanks @Sehrawat_R . How much time did it take for you to get the PCC from the point of submitting the request at PSK (1 week / 2 weeks) ?

Shouldn't the request for PCC for all immigration-related stuff go through Passport Seva Kendra or a Passport Office ? The link above is good enough for domestic police verification (jobs etc)

Quick question on PCC: I applied for PCC after getting the letter from IRCC. on May/19. The earliest date available at Hyderabad (where my parents are based) is June/2. Apparently, it takes 2-3 weeks from then to get PCC. By then I will pass the deadline of June/18. [1] Should we show the...

I'm in the same boat. I do NOT have a birth certificate at all. When I applied for PR 12 yrs back, since I don't have a birth certificate I took an affidavit in Canada along with my SSC certificate that has Father's name. It worked. When I applied for PGP, I did the same thing I did for PR -...

How did you try ? Say your PGP application login id is "ABC@gmail.com" and your GcKey login is "DEF". Now you log into immigration website with "DEF" and then ???

When you say GCKey - you mean the login one created for one's PR/Citizenship ? How do you link GCKey with the PR portal ?

Do you know of any sponsor for PGP OR read anywhere in the forums (if yes, link please), where an applicant did initiate Medical and PCC in Canada itself for one's parents on a visitor visa to Canada and what his/her experiences were?

I'm in the same boat. I got the lottery in Oct/2021 and I submitted my application on Nov/13/2021. My parents are planning to make a trip to Canada for summer 2022 on visitor visa. Wondering if I get an invite for (1) Medical (2) PCC while my parents are in Canada, can both Medical + PCC be...

I'm not sure why linking to GCKey is required ? Say I created a login at IRCC website ( https://prson-srpel.apps.cic.gc.ca/en/login ) with email id "foo@gmail.com" and submitted my PGP application online using id "foo@gmail.com". I don't understand when folks talk about GCKey. Why can't one...

I submitted my application on Nov/13/2021. Today, I received an email (below) from IRCC. I looged into my account, did not see any updates and on top of it my "View" button is disabled. Did anyone get the message below today ? If "YES", did you see any updates to your IRCC account. This is an...

I think the most important thing is whose pay-roll you are on. If you are on Canadian pay-roll and was on a short term assignment where you have your per-diem/all expenses covered in the US - then you pay taxes only in Canada and none in the US. Make sure you have a permanent address in Canada...
