Hi RSub,

As per the Indian immigration laws, I cannot send my passport outside the country where I reside. Passport should be sent through a local VAC and my concern is the letter that I got for IRCC does not mentioned the VAC center at NY.
Seems like a weird rule that most people ignore. What if you're staying in country A and you want to go to country B and they don't have any embassies in country A?

My status changed to approved yesterday in the portal, and fedex tracking just activated earlier today.
Wow congrats ! I am wondering why my fedex tracking is not activated ! Also I am trying to reach them , I have sent them an email as well but no response . Also I haven’t been able to call them and struggling to find a way to cal them or get in touch with them .

Thanks. Hang in there - everything I’ve seen in these forums points to IRCC being completely arbitrary and out of order in processing both applications and passports. Hope it’s just a random delay and you get it back soon!

Hey guys (@ntnmadan @pat_pat @CVUser1234 ) I have my wedding planned in india and have to travel mid july. Should I send passport now to ottawa from US. Is it dumb to send it now? Can't miss it everyone will literally disown me. Anyone got an extension for something like 90 days?

40-45 days is plenty of time for the passport to get stamped at VO Ottawa, in my opinion. The typical processing time seems to be 10-20 days.

I don’t think you should waste anymore time . It take 10-20 days max for them to approve your passport and make sure you generate the fedex label without any mistakes . So that you can get your passport on time !

Hi, Did anybody get a new photo required email from CPC-Ottawa for COPR? If yes, how long did it take for them to process COPR and send the passport back? I got an email on May 31st indicating that photos I submitted do not meet specification and I have to send them new photos in 7 days. I couriered it the next day via Fedex, got delivered to Ottawa on June 2nd but no progress since then. Appreciate your inputs on this.
