    Ankara Visa Office Applicants Check in here! :)

    Cheers, there are 2 parts, application fees and RPRF fees. Application fee has to be paid upfront, RPRF is optional at the start and can be paid later. Best to pay it upfront to avoid delays like us. https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/fees/fees.asp#rprf

    Hey guys, We finally got our PR visa issued. After countless emails we figured it out. The delay was because the right of permanent residency fee was not paid. The embassy never communicated that with us or our MP. We got the approval within 5 hours of paying that $500. If you are facing...

    If you don't have a tracking from VAC it means it is not at the embassy yet. That text means the travel agency gave it to VAC , in a week or so you'll get a tracking and after a week it will get to the embassy. If you are lucky the embassy does it fast (2-4) weeks. and if you are like us months...

    Congrats, VFS tracking will change soon. Based on my understanding VFS only picks up the passports on Mondays, Wed and Fridays. So check the tracking tomorrow. Amazing news for you buddy

    personally MPs can only do so much. My MP has been trying but hasn't made much of a difference. 3 months since we gave our passport to Nilgam, 2 months at the embassy and no updates... with many got theirs back weeks ago. SO random

    Ankara Visa Office Applicants Check in here! :)

    Yeah i constantly check my GCkey, no updates. We are almost certain the passport is gone missing somewhere in the embassy. It is as simple as you say, but they don't really care. My MP has requested an update as well as sent a letter to Ankara to see what is happening. They do not need to assess...

    Nope, I have emailed the embassy a few times, they reply with the message below ( we have got this reply a few times) and it also doesn't make sense to blame VAC , since the passport is already delivered to the embassy... I have emailed and called couple of different MPs. One of them said there...

    Ankara Visa Office Applicants Check in here! :)

    No, no updates. MP says our file looks good and no issues but there is no updates. VAC is actually open for 3 days now. Our Immigration consultant said it may be due to the fact that we applied for TRV which is approved too... but who knows what is going. We went with PR visa , now i wish we...

    Does anyone know any other way to get in touch with the embassy other than webforms, MP, and embassy's email? We tried all the options, and have only heard the excuses blaming "covid" , or "VAC oprates 2 days" bla bla bla... This is getting extremely frustrating with no end sight. 2 months to...
