Has anyone got their passport back from the VFS after visa stamping recently? I want to know the turnaround time. I have sent my passport on Oct 12 but haven't received it back. The last update was - "Your application, tracking ID XXXXXXX has been received and is under process at the IRCC Office on Mon Oct 18 2021"
Same timeline for me too ✋

waiting for COPR and PPR

My question is I have already booked for 14th November. I know we can't travel on COPR but is it possible that once I confirm my address and wait for PR card but even if it don't come, can I travel back to India and my friend can ship the PR card to India and I will travel back?

In short Can my friend send PR card to India and can I travel back to Canada ?

@legalfalcon can please share your thoughts on this?

Thanks in advance

Hope everyone will get goodnews soon.
IF you have received a COPR, you have a PR status and you can travel anywhere across the globe. However, to return to Canada you will need a PR card or a PRTD.

If you leave Canada and you receive the PR card after, your friend or relative can ship the card. However, please remember that PR cards when shipped are subject to being confiscated by CBSA unless accompanied by proper authorization. If confiscated, you will have to apply for PRTD, return to Canada and then you can submit a form to CBSA asking for a release of your PR card. There is no penalty and it is not a criminal offence, but on a case by case basis, CBSA may confiscate immigration documents that are being shipped outside Canada.

@legalfalcon what if one send photo and all other documents for PR card after PR Approval and them leave Canada and apply PRTD as well in some other country, would it affect the PR Card application.

Same Here my outland dependents as well listed in portal. Did raise Web forms & GCMC notes although no response as of now. Try raising Web form to update address for Dependents and your query as well. Hoping they will be looking soon.

Happened to me. But don't worry. If your dependent's address in the file is outside Canada, you will get PPR.
