I submitted Visa application on Humanitarian and Compassionate basis.

After 2 days I recieved and email that ""your application number is changed from V******* to S******. You will recieve passport letter shortly""

"S" is mostly for student visa applications and for Humanitarian & Compassionate basis it should start from "H".

Please let me know why they changed to "S" and what I should do?

Are you currently a student in Canada even if you are studying online? Assume there is sudden critical medical event or a serious change in health of a family member because 2 days is very fast.

No I am not student. And wondering why they assigned my application number "S".

Any idea what is the validity of TRV these day if we apply using PHAC letter.

It is very dependent on the reason for your travel. Usually it is shorter than normal TRVs.
