Takes about a 7-10 days for it to update. Hang tight...
It's very random now. Seen cases where it gets updated in 2 weeks as Application Received but no updates after that. Others where it remains in No status for a month and moves along in a week through all statuses.

No, you don't need to book an appointment for a dropbox if you are eligible. Once you are eligible for a dropbox appointment, it will show u detailed instructions with courier info and a return reference id for Canada post.

Hi,

I am in Canada on WP. I had previous H1b for 6 years and then got picked up in the lottery. I want to check if I can qualify for IWP.

Me and my wife have a canadian PR and plan to complete the DS160 while we are residing in Vancouver, i believe that makes us eligible for dropbox? Do i get the dropbox steps post completion of DS160? Do i need to fill out any other subsequent forms?

It will be helpful if someone can share experience like how to mail the documents and how to collect. Do we need to go to the below center to drop and collect the documents.
