Hi - Anybody has sent their passport for visa stamping (visitor visa) to the visa office in India recently? How long does it take once you submit the passport to VFS? thanks in advance

Hi, Thanks for the response, but my question is not on whether they need to submit biometrics. I know they don’t need to submit it again. My query is on filling the biometrics section in the VFS consent form. Does it refer to the biometrics submission only for this application? In that case they...

Hi, I am applying online for extending my parents' visit visa. My question is regarding their proof of funds. If I am sponsoring their stay here, what should be sufficient amount to satisfy the visa office? I am single and my parents would be extending the stay for another 3-4 months.

My parents didn't receive any stamp in their passports when they landed in Canada. Should I give the date 6 months from their...

Thanks. Any reason to apply in April and not March. The process says we should apply “ at least 30 days in advance”. I guess that means we should apply latest by April, but can apply before as well. Is that understanding correct?

Thanks. Is the 175 days from the time i apply for extension on the website?

My parents are in Canada presently on visitor visa.The validity date on the visa is of 2032. They arrived in late November 2022. Their passports were not stamped with any dates at the Toronto airport, but I guess they can stay till 6 months at a stretch, which would be May end. However, I would...

VFS sends email notification when the passport is sent to the visa office and when the processing is completed by visa office. I guess they send it to the email if provided in the courier/sms consent form.
