Decision Envelope at VFS

[Shivangi20]

"The decision envelope for your application, tracking ID No. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx has been received from the IRCC Office on 2019-08-09 02:03:51 PM GMT Standard Time at the Canada Visa Application Centre, Canada Visa Application Centre,New Delhi and is ready for collection. For details on the location and hours of operation of our VAC, please refer to our website at: https://www.vfsglobal.ca/canada/india/ Please note this is an auto generated e-mail. Please do not reply to this email."

I had applied for Temporary Resident Visa via VFS on Friday 9th Aug. Within a few hours of my application, I received this message.

Can someone help me decipher this message? Has the decision been made and I need to collect my passport? I had opted for the courier so should I wait?

Can IRCC actually process the application in 1 hour and decide? I haven't received any rejection/approval mail yet.

Call VAC to confirm if indeed there was a decision made.
You already submitted your passport. Did you apply via paper and you have an existing biometrics? Cause normally upon submission of TRV , after a day or 2 the biometrics will be requested. You did not mention that you submitted your biometrics, so it looks like you are just re-applying a visa.
If you opted for courier, then just wait for the decision envelope.

Hi Kat3onah,

I had already given my biometrics the same day and yes my application was via the paper method.

I would definitely call VAC tomorrow. Just wanted to ask what does this "decision" mean and if indeed a decision has been made or they have just forwarded my application to Canadian Visa Office in New Delhi?

I sincerely don't believe they can process someone's application so soon (span of 2 hours).

Yeah its a bit strange. According to this link the estimate number of days is 12 for India.

You can link your application to an online account. So you can view the status as well.
