Why do you need extension? When do you need to submit your passport and how much more time do you need?

Would send in a webform explaining that your passport is already being stamped with a TRV so it will take time to get passport back and send it again. Apologize if the passport may be a few days late. Don’t wait for a reply just send in the passport as soon as possible. A few days is usually not a big deal.

Hi,
I am in a similar situation. The IRCC issued a letter within 2 days of submitting my study permit application, but I didn't received any notification and missed to check the same in time by login into their website.. and when I checked later, I found the date is already expired ( 30 days) - since I checked after 30 day. Did IRCC extended the date in your case or you just submitted the passport to VAC and they accepted it?

In the mean time, I already submitted a webform for extension.

Same with me. Applied for parents visitor visa on March 14. On March 21, they visited for biometrics and dropped passport in UK VFS. I received PPR today but the passport is with UK VFS and they might take 5 to 6 weeks for its processing.

Raised webform, do they generally extend? I was reading for PR PPR, they extended by a month. Visit visa should be simple?

NO easy way to contact IRCC. They can get the passport stamped in US itself. All they need to do is to follow the guidelines for Canada visa submission post PPR. You can get passport stamped in any country, if you have the PPR. From what I know, receiving passport back in US takes less than a week. The only thing will be they won't have ID for a week or so. But it's generally never a problem, my parents never carried their passports with them in US and Canada (unless they have to board a flight or something).

My name is Yingzhe Guo, I got approved for my student permit and I sent my visa to the New York Canada Visa Office within 30 days as requested. However, When I send my passport to the New York Canada Visa Office via TT Services, instead of selecting student permit, I selected original passport submission under the application category, which caused me did not get my S-1 visa stamped on my passport. My letter of passport request has now expired, should I apply for an extension? How long would it take to get my extension?

Can you please share that worked for you? Did you wait for webform reply or sent the passport asap?

Yes they accepted my passport and even extended the validity for passport request letter.

First thing I did was raise a webform for application outside Canada and requested for extension. Same day, I submitted the documents to VAC by mail.
along with my submission, I included cover letter explaining "in brief" the reason for delayed submission, about web form request for extension and then requesting them to accept the passport.

Received passport back in 10 days with VISA stamped.

So go ahead and submit the passport as soon as possible.

Hope it helps.

Thankyou so much for shaing these details, its really helpful!!

Just one more question, in the cover letter I plan to mention that I didn't receive email and I also checked my account late and I will apologize and ask them for extension. Would that be a good enough reason from your experience?
