Could you please tell what is the main difference between sending passports via VFS or directly to the Embassy? Could you briefly describe how does the status change in mycic account during the process of visa stamping? Please advise, thank you

you cannot send passport directly, VFS is the only way, or else Ottawa if you are inside Canada.

Hello

I only know about India and Canada, whereas, you can choose any of the 1st 2 methods if you are not in Canada. Personally i would suggest to go in person to VAC.

21st Nov at Pune, no updates yet..
I called up VFS a few minutes ago, they said we can write an email to the high commission but i guess it would take them very long to reply.
I am not eager to get it back, but the thing is that i have to travel on 8th :(
