Submitted Passport to NDVO via VFS: Join and Share Timelines Here

[Aragorn165]

For those who have received their passports back from VFS, how long is the visa valid for???? Like by when do you need to land...??

One year after your medicals were done

I had not opted for the service giving updates through sms/e-mail. So, I checked it myself, on the VFS site itself.

Just an hour back,collected the passports. They have given a Visa stamp on the passport and also provided two copies of COPR document,which are to be carried while landing at Canada. Another document has all the details regarding what all needs to be done or carried while travelling to Canada.

Ah. Well, congratulations, and safe flight! I hope your life in Canada is a fruitful one

Currently, the trend seems to be 13 days at the fastest.
Which VFS office did you submit your passports at?

Anyone opted for blue dart service for receiving passport? How was your experience?

I am not an expert on this, but I think the change in circumstance comes AFTER the birth, and not during pregnancy? My advise would be to submit the passports with a cover letter explaining the pregnancy, but again, I am not too sure on this matter. Let's wait to see what others have to say.

The PPR letter says, to inform them for pregnancy as well.

Alright, just went through my copy, and you're right.
So in that case, I think the best solution is to:

a) Email CIC (which you have done)
b) Raise a CSE (I would do this right now)
c) Submit your passports before October 8, with a cover letter, to which you attach print outs of your emails to Ottawa and NDVO with timestamps

Does Bangalore Visa office stamps Visa and prints COPR?

They do not, it has to be NDVO

Yeah, I don't know what's going on there. Like my application was closed yesterday morning, but VFS still apparently does not have my passport back yet :/

Are you 100% sure?

May be south Indain applications are going to Bangalore for work load distribution. Its just printing the COPR and putting in the visa sticker in passport. There are no checks or nothing after PPR.

No bud..
I sent my passport thru Bangalore VFS.. It's currently in Delhi
All passports must reach the Delhi high commission of Canada for COPR and visa stamping
Bangalore visa office only deals with student permits, tourist permits. That too intake of applications only I guess.
The major work is done at the Delhi office.

Yup. All PR applications are processed by NDVO. No exceptions. The other VOs are for student and visitor visas, and the like.
