Hi Bimpsy, my parents are also submitting from Nigeria and received Passport request Match 9, 2023. Please do you know if they need to go to the VFA office to submit or send by mail via DHL?

Also the VFA site is a bit confusing as I wanted to book the passport submission appointment but it appears it may be only walk in.

Do you have any info on how this is done? I didn't submitted my own application in Nigeria and don't know the process.
I have heard mixed feedbacks on this, some say DHL no longer offers return and that they have to go to VFA to pick up. In my case, they would drop it off themselves on Monday in VFS VI.

Application submitted: December 05, 2021

Request for extension for submission of PCC: 11 Aug. 2022

Waiting for next steps after this.

I have not been able to link my application to any online account - it says application could not be found.

Hello Friends,
I need some advice.
-Additional documents submitted on Sept 2022
-No response yet except GC key status states provided documents have been uploaded.
-Waiting for next communication.
-I am planning to book flights for my parents in April second week.
But not sure, should I wait for PPR request or call them on Visitor visa (they already have visitor visa) specially the web form response time is not clear.
-What if I booked the flights and get PPR request? Not having enough time to submit passport to vfs and get it back from vfs
-What if they come here, I submit the webform to change in address and meantime get PPR?

Thank you.

Same timeline, submitted my Parents Passport on 28th Feb, Received at Delhi IRCC on 2nd March. The VFS tracker still shows in process at IRCC office. If anyone know the exact number of days it takes for Passport to be stamped and returned?

There is no exact number, but for a recent case it took total 18 calendar days to get passport delivered back home, from the day it was dropped at VFS Pune.

I am having difficulty linking my mother-in-law's PGP application to her GIC account. So please help me with the following questions:
  • Whose account should the application be linked to? The applicant's (my mother-in-law) or the sponsor's (my wife)
  • Is the Application number and UCI number the safest way to search? If so, is it applicant's UCI or sponsor's UCI?
  • Are there any generic pitfalls (other than the ones listed by IRCC) that I should know about?
