Hello all...
Finally after a wait of 142 days.... PPR came on 3rd August....
Went to VFS Mumbai yesterday....and submitted my passport
Total time taken in VFS was 1 hour...which included a waiting of 40 minutes...
Had gone there with the intent of getting my passport couriered back to me...
The lady at the counter after realising that I stay in Navi Mumbai politely suggested to not opt for courier as last couple of weeks...she said...there have been technical glitches in the courier and SMS service and suggested me to just come back over and pick the passport myself...
She only took Rs 637 from me for the transmission charges...did not take any SMS charges...(which I assumed is because of the technical glitch)
She told me to track the same through the number provided and connext with the call centre post 7 to 10 working days ....she said...I may also get a call from them when passport is ready for collection....
Cheers

Thank you @sid1987 for sharing such valuable information. There are many more queries which require your help.So family,
I already live in canada for past 3 months . Moved from us to canada on work oermit.. now have pr..
Few tips:
1 the funds what canadian govt tells you is tip of iceberg.
If you planning to settle here without job get ready to shell out money or planning to stay here and look for job .
1. Most places atleast in ottawa lock a 12 month lease and before signing lease, they will ask 2 months rent.
2 . Public transport is awesome, you can make do for sometime without car.
3 . Get your driving extracts from india, yes in india they give you that contact your rto. Itvsaves you lot of shit snd u get g2 dl atleast.
4. Now for 2 people if you live normally expect to shell out 800 to 1000 each month. This is when you don go out to eat etc stc.
5. Banks have lot of catches so read all carefully.
Rest message me any thing you eanna knwo
You can nominate a representative. The person should carry consent form and id details and on the safer side a letter from your end.Can I nominate someone (my driver) to pick up my passport from VFS once its stamped? I will be submitting it on Saturday.
@zagcollins very detailed. Thank you for sharing experience about VFS MumbaiI'll just add to what has already been written. This is my experience at the VFS Mumbai Office at BKC; FYI, they are moving this office permanently to the application centre they have at Mahalaxmi from August 27, 2018 (This is the case for VFS offices across India, but from September 2018):
1. Go to the 5th floor of the VFS building, AUS-CAN offices right next to each other.
2a. Token number,
2b. wait for token to be displayed on screen/called out,
2c. submit documents, pay, take receipt and leave.
Pros
1. All 6 counters were working at 3pm.
2. I had taken the wrong photo size, which I realised when I reached the counter at 3.55 pm . They accepted my application past 4 pm (cutoff time for application submission) despite the mistake solely being mine (3rd floor Schengen visa office has a photocopying machine + photo booth; INR 120 per applicant photo cost for 2 photos). For those interested, PPR photo size is pretty large and not your typical passport size. The external photo studio guy I got this done from was a _____.
3. The staff is super polite and helpful.
Cons
1. 9 am apparently is the only time it's empty. Rest it's crowded (at least 20-30 applicants on a floating basis constantly; agent timings acc to the website is 9-11.30, but saw many of them past 3 pm)
2. While process oriented, they do seem to get lost from time to time and start calling out token numbers instead of displaying them onscreen.
I am not sure if they follow a different process in your country.Guys, would you please help me with two doubts.
1. I received PPR a week ago and informed them immediately about a change in my mailing address. I am still waiting for the visa office to respond something. However, they say on the letter that I have only 15 days to send the documents. Should I wait more or should I move forward?
2. On the PPR letter they request the COMPLETE address that I intend to live in Canada. How could I possibly know that? Did they ask you guys the same stuff? What did you do?
Many thanks!
When you apply you need to select a Province and City. Mine is also FSW-O. Not sure why they are asking you for canada address. Never heard about it before.My stream is FSW-O. I did not select any province specifically, but I am going to Surrey, BC.
I spoke with CIBC Rep. Advised me to open the account in Canada upon landing and then do a funds transfer. Carry funds for the initial few weeks.Canadian Banks offering the option to open Bank accounts internationally for PR holders and getting the same activated once you land in Canada.
