Has any one recently applied for PRTD ?
My PR card will expire on Aug 16?
I recently applied for Travel Document by email on 29th July 2021 . Does anyone have any idea regarding the processing time?
Please advice.

Hi,

what is the status of your application. I am asking this because can we apply for PRTD before the expiry of PR card as my PR card is expiring on September 6th, can I apply now for PRTD or do I have to wait until September 6th?

Yes, you can. I applied on 29th July and got request for Passport a week later. I waited for 5 - 6 days before I filled the VFS webform. Idea was to make sure IRCC gets my passport for stamping after August 16th (when my PR expires).

We affixed photo to the application, scanned and sent. Also to be on safe side we attached a soft copy of the photo in the list of attachments.
No, we haven't attached air ticket. But we did mention our intended day of travel, if restrictions open up.

All pages. They explicitly mention all the pages (including blank pages)
Thanks for the info, I sent today and I have got an automated email stating "Acknowledgement of Receipt"- PRTD

Now I have to wait for the decision through email, is that correct?

Yes. It took us exactly 1 week to get passport request. Keep checking your email. All spam and promotion mails as well.

Hey did you receive your PRTD ?

I am stuck in a weird situation. I came to India with my daughter last month. I have my PR CARD. I sponsored my husbands visa which got approved earlier this year. He sent photos for PR CARD but we still haven’t received it yet. He plans to travel early next month and apply for PRTD.

how much time does PRTD take to comethese day ?

Hello. Yes, I did receive PRTD. It took 1 week to get Passport request email. Then took about 1 and half weeks to get it stamped from the day I mailed my passport via Bluedart. I followed few messages in this forum few days earlier and looks like it slowed because of situation in Afghanistan. I hope it wont add more than 2 - 3 weeks for this process additionally.

Hi

I got a passport request today, can you please let me know what all the docs(passport, passport request letter) you sent and how did you send it(separate envelope or bluedart will have the envelope). Did you send the photo of yours in the envelope too?

The email mentions that we have to contact PassportSubmission@vfshelpline.com for 2-way courier service.

What are the next steps, just send an email to the above email address or submit a request through this link, and after that?
