Passport to London Visa Office Timeline

[Walter06]

Hi,
I have sent my passports on 1st June, 2022 and they reached the IRCC office at London on 6th June, 2022. I did not hear anything from them post that and hence reached out to the London Visa Office on Friday last week for an update. They gave a response which is stated below:

' Please submit your inquiry related to your application via our website’s case specific inquiry form, by selecting your program as the application type.

This will allow your enquiry to be triaged to the Case Processing Center in Canada responsible for your application, who are best placed to review your enquiry and to provide you with a timely response.'

This response tells me to raise a general webform which I have done post their email. Did you get a similar response initially? I would assume since they are the ones processing my application right now, they should be able to provide me with an update. What was your experience with them?

Thank you in advance.

I got the same response, Kinda confused though.
Do you have your passport’s yet?
Your response will be greatly appreciated.

thank you.

Guys,
i am currently living in the Netherlands, and i need to submit my passport for stamping.
IRCC London takes lots of time for stamping according to what i read here (around 2-2.5 months).
Is there any other IRCC office i can send to that will be faster?
Thanks.

Unfortunately, I was not aware of this information and I have sent my passport in September to VFS London. Mine is under processing since 9th Sept. 5 weeks have passed already.
Seems like atleast 8 weeks it would take, as per others experience.

I received an update today, my passport has been dispatched from IRCC LVO. Exactly 6 weeks they have taken. I did send emails on weekly basis in last 2-3 weeks as follow-up, not sure if that helped my application to be processed faster..

Where did you send an email to follow up? Or did you send web forms?

I had just sent one mail per week (mostly Mondays) to ldnimmigration@international.gc.ca
There would not be any response from them, sometimes an auto-response or just an acknowledgement mail.

Mine was under process for stamping at London from 6 Oct, anyone know if I can get my passport asap, whatever it has stamped or not. I contacted VFS London and they told me they can’t help me. I need passport in emergency

Hello, i got final decision this morning. Is there usually a new message sent cause I don’t see anything in the portal new other than the update that application was approved. And how long from the update til you received the dispatch? Thanks, and appreciate your response.
