I am planning to apple for Super visa for my parents. They may not be travelling immediately but wanted to keep it ready. The application requires to provide Medical Insurance. Since I dont have a specific travel date, how can I get the medical insurance in advance without a specific date? Any help?
Insurance is a pre-requisite for applying super visa irrespective of when they travel is gonna happen.
you will buy insurance based on travel dates you will be putting in application; all insurance companies allow you to change these dates later based on the actual travel plan.
All the 14 steps are done - and the package is delivered, and also received a notification from VFS with the followingFor those who want to know more about the 2-way courier service by the visa offices in India, here is all the detail.
1. Receive the PPR letter from IRCC.
2. Go to this website link:
https://vfs-cic.mioot.com/forms/PS/
3. Fill out the webform and enter the required info.
4. Once submitted, you will receive an email having the payment link in it within 2-3 days. Please keep an eye on your email, because once received, the email payment link will only be valid for 12 hours. If passed 12 hours, you will have to submit the webform (step 2 above) again and wait for another link. Doesn't hurt in any way, but takes extra time.
5. You may receive more than one email with a payment link in it. Make sure you only pay once. Even if you try to pay once again, you won't be able to. The link will say your payment has already been received.
6. Pay for the service. The fee is approx Rs. 1000 INR per passport. (In case of more than one applicant, you will need to pay for them separately.)
7. After the payment, you will receive another email with an AWB number in it. This AWB will serve as a tracking number for your passport package to the visa office.
8. Keep your passport package ready and sealed. You must make separate packages for each passport, even if all the applicants live at the same address. The mandatory documents are:
i) Passport (I dare you to not include this!)
ii) Consent form (complete and signed), provided by the visa office in the email.
iii) Courier and SMS form (complete and signed), provided by the visa office in the email.
iv) Passport submission letter (PPR letter/Golden email letter, whatever you may call it) provided by IRCC.
If required, they might ask you for any extra documents. But the ones above are mandatory.
9. Write this at the center on the envelope for the 'To.' address.
To,
The officer,
VFS Global Canada.
The exact details will be provided in your email.
10. Write your full name, address, phone, AWB number and the application number at the 'From' address.
11. Soon you will be contacted by the Blue Dart courier. They will come to the address that you mentioned in the webform to pick your passport up.
12. You will need to give the above AWB number to the courier service guy. And they will send the package to the visa office.
13. Your job is done here. Now, take a 'Cutting Chai ki pyaali'.
14. You can track the courier using your AWB number here.

Do we need anything specific to arrange for the return of the passport - I think we paid for 2 way courier earlier
Could you please let me know how you approched the MP, what exactly did you wrote to them? May be i will also try the same after waiting for a little bit more.
https://www.ourcommons.ca/members/en/search
Use this - search with your pincode, it will show who your MP is. And then it will also show the MP contact information. You can reach out by email or check on your MP's website if they have a specific process to raise such requests. For example, in our case they gave very specific steps on what/how details need to be shared including some basic forms as well (on our MP's website)
Edit - They can only check what's the current status, don't expect too much of information coming out of this.

No, I don't think we need to do anything further. 2-way service is paid for and now we will receive passports back to our home once stamped. My parents sent their passports a couple of days earlier than your parents did, I guess. So, mine will receive earlier, I assume. I'll keep you updated. You do too.
Just buy insurance with dates in 2022, provide tentative dates. The insurance quotes will not suffice for visa application, you must BUY it. But, you won't have to pay anything right now. Your insurance payment starts when the parents board the flight to Canada.
Once the visa is approved and their travel dates are booked, then you will need to update the insurance company on the change in the travel dates.
In my opinion, there is no harm in providing extra documents than required to IRCC. If the application is still pending and if there is any way that you can submit the docs again, I'd say go for it.
LICO requirements don't change drastically every year. It's only a slight change.
Also, I'd say you provide them with as many income proofs as you can, e.g., your bank statement, pay stubs, NOAs, T4, job offer letter, etc. whatever you have.
Hey Abhiancha, could you tell me about what you have done for passport stamping? Even my parents paid an amount of 3000 each at VFS office when they gave biometrics. We received the PPR today, could you tell me on the procedure. Thank you
