Took my oath today (Jan 19, 2019) at Mississauga. All assembled inside the building. A staff member asked all the guests to go inside the court room and sit, and asked candidates to wait in a queue. The invite letter and PR Card were checked. Then another staff member took the PR card and asked...

Received my passports duly stamped from VFS, Chennai on 21 Nov 2014. It just took 4 days. The VFS office at Chennai is in Fagun Towers (not Mansion). Go early and you will get car parking nearby. Process is very simple. Hardly takes 30 min. Cell phones and car remotes are allowed inside the...

Nothing different. Same info but it is an authorization so that you can submit your passports in your nearest VFS office. They will send them to Canadian VPO at Delhi. You need to enter your passports' information in a sheet and attach photos along with your passports.

I sent mail on 28th Oct to change the VPO, and got reply yesterday (13 Nov) from New Delhi office. I have 30 more days to submit the passports. Submitting on Monday.

Me too. :D

Frustrating. What happens if we couldn't send the passports within the 30 days limit because of CIC's delay?

Any luck guys? Any one got any response for visa printing at New Delhi?

Not yet. Frustrating the way CIC works. I have sent a reminder too.

Have you got any reply from CIC yet mate?

Hi jaiarora2k, kris19 and mtr2o13, I am also in India and sent an e-mail to CIC (28 Oct) to advise how to send the passports to New Delhi office but no reply yet. Have you guys received any response yet? Anybody knows how long they take to reply? Kindly help please. -Thunderbird77

Got the PPR mail at around 8 am IST today. Need to inform CIC that I am in India so that they may advise how to get the visa printed in India. Not sure why they couldn't have seen the Visa Processing Office, which I mentioned as India, as per application and sent the directions in one mail...

I am waiting too. Thanks, Thunderbird77

Though the information was unofficial, it is not "false or unsubstantiated" as you mentioned. You can see many members who got their GCMS notes have mentioned that their BF dates are in December. Some also mentioned CIC has admitted in their mails that process is delayed due to some VOs have...

Sorry if my information caused unwanted concerns. Even though that info was unofficial, the way things are going now make me believe that. I am also waiting for PPR. It is frustrating to check the mails every day only to find nothing. This delay is causing me to change my plans dynamically...

I am afraid there will be no updates till December this year for the Nov 2013 applicants. I heard some high ranking officer left the department (CIC) and everything went haywire after that. Nothing goes as per the norms. The 'In process' status never gets updated. People are getting PPR...
