I was just wondering for all those who have applications in process, does the e-Cas status actually change and do they write "in process". My application still says Application Received.
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. ecas isn't 100% reliable. Some people go from "application received" directly to "decision made", without ever seeing "in process". So although it's distressing not to get "in process" when everyone else does, don't let it worry you too much.

Hi guys this is really urgent. I am on my student's visa in USA and my wife filed for my Canadian PR in march. File has been processed in canada and it is right now in India CHC ND. I got an email today for my Passport request.
As i am in US which is the best option for me to send the passport?
Should i mail them passport through Fedex/ UPS and include a letter specifying my Indian address so that CHC ND can return the passport to that address. OR should i tell them to send me second passport request when my file is in final stage of processing and that time i will personally go to india and send the passport from there.
Please guys help me out.

I think Second passport request is better. Do that , because anyway it is not recommended to send your passport thru mail.

It is ILLEGAL to send your Indian passport out of a country by mail or courier. Your only option is to go to India personally and get it stamped at New Delhi.

Hello All,
My wife sent her passport to New Delhi on June 7. But now we need passport back to make a copy of Singapore Entry / Exit pages, Singapore police is asking for those pages before they send Police Certificate to New Delhi.
Could u please tell us the best way to request passport from New Delhi . Is it via Email , Mail or letter ?
Thanks
Hello, For all those in your situation, who may be thinking about sending your passport across the border via mail, I would like to share my story. I have the first hand experience of getting penalized for this. I am a PR, but before this I was on a work visa and before that, a student. In order to get a work visa and then PR, I had sent my passport to Buffalo and Los Angeles via Canada Post for stamping of work visa and PR visa. This is standard procedure and CIC had advised me to do so. But recently, my Indian passport expired and when I sent it to CGI-Vancouver to get a new Passport, they imposed a fine on me for the violation of the Indian Passport Act. I had to pay $220 ($110 for each time I sent the passport via mail). When I tried to tell them that CIC had asked me to do so, they said "Well, you can discuss your case with them if you like". It was the matter of my passport and I have to plan to travel back home for my sister's wedding, so I didn't wanna take any chances. So I ended up paying the fine and now my new Passport application is being processed (hopefully). I am not suggesting one way or the other. I just wanted to share my story.

CHC-ND usually asks for the passport very soon after the file is transferred there, during the initial review stage. There are other reviews on your file before the final decision is made which can be as early as a month too. CHC-ND accepts such requests for a second passport request. However, when the second request is made you HAVE TO SEND THE PASSPORT then. CHC-ND only mails passports to Indian addresses or Nepali address. Nepal passports however CAN be sent across the border from New Delhi to Nepal. Just write a detailed letter as to why you cannot send in your passport now, and about your future travel plans to India.
