Hi, Anyone recently travelled from Delhi To Toronto (Delhi - Montreal - Toronto) ? Can you please share your experience on
1. Covid test procedure
2. How early do we have to be at the airport ?
3. Experience with Arrive CAN app
and any valuable tips / inputs are greatly appreciated.

Thanks

My dad recently came from Delhi to Toronto to Montreal. Like I mentioned in another post - you have option of 2 types of PCR tests. Fast one gives you results in an hour or so and costs about Rs. 4000 and the normal one is about Rs. 500 and takes about 8-10 hours. You need to arrive earlier at the airport depending on the type of PCR test you are doing, although you are welcome to leave afterwards and come back. They will email you the results that you can show before boarding.

ArriveCAN is relatively straight forward. It only lets you register within 72 hours of your flight, asks you a bunch of questions and then produces a QR code that you can show digitally or print. That's all!

Hello - I got a new message in my CIC account today with a letter for pre-arrival services.
ECAS for permanent residence application status has changed to Decision made.

File was transferred to New Delhi visa office on Sep 15th 2021 as per MPs office. No updates in the file was transferred to NDVO and I was not notified via email. Is that normal??

What is the pre-arrival service letter for parents?? What are the next steps in the process and how long more its will usually take. I was expecting a request for Passport from visa office.

When sending the passport to NDVO using vfs, do I have to send the passport and other documents of the PA and the dependent in separate packages?
And do I have to pay vfs to return the passports back or is that included in the application fee??

This is normal. VO usually sends PPR to principal applicant's email on file.

Right, each individual's passport and docs need to go in a separate package. When u request package from vfs, pay for both pick up and return.

But the passport request letter ask to submit in one package.

All required documents must be submitted in one single package

Good day All,

Please I need the most help I can get from you.

My mother's PGP application is still in process since May 2019, She is currently with me in Canada on a visitors visa, but has being diagnosed with Endometrial Cancer. I am trying to look for how she can get treatment asap even if we have to pay out of pocket.

Please any help you can provide would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Good day,

I submitted additional documents (PCC and proof of relationship) for my mother on October 13th but no activity since then. Her ecas status is still In process. Is that normal? Her Medicals and Biometrics were completed in August 2021. I heard people get passport requests within 10 days after PCC and additional documents were submitted.

I'd like your advise please - if my mom comes to Canada on a visitor visa now and she gets a PPR while she is in Canada, how do we deal with it? Do we have to send the passport to India or can we get it stamped here in Canada and complete a virtual landing? Would appreciate the response.

@prontissimo - Hope you are doing well! Did you hear back from IRCC post sending additional documents in Oct?

Regards
Sid

timeline varies for everyone. I submitted PCC last year and still no DM2. I received pre-arrival services letter back in September and still no updates. Your mom can travel to canada on visitors visa. once she is here, update her address to your address and she will be able to do virtual landing
