Thank you!!!

Yes I received these emails a day after I mailed the passport. The tracking number is for you to check the tracking on VFS website. The AWB number is for the return of the passport which will take approximately 7-10 days. You will receive a lot of emails from VFS during these 7-10 days. The wait is almost over for you!

On another note, I just received the passport back. It’s now time to go back home! :)
how many days it took you to get passport stamped back from ircc? 2 days?

I have applied visitor visa for my mother ,here is the timeline

Online Application date: 26 Oct 2020
Biometric correspodence Letter: 31 Oct 2020

Received 2 way instrction letter today ,but have not received PPR yet.
Application status on cic website is still showing in progress ,what does that mean ? Is it approved ?

Why would they send two way instruction without sending passport request letter ?
Where did you apply from? How did she get through biometrics?

I think they have stopped the phone line. As that was too cumbersome process and not feasible for masses. Now only email is the way ahead. Also for email response is within 2 working days excluding the day you send the mail. Hope this helps.
Thanks

Reached Toronto today. The process was hassle-free. Air Canada was awesome!

Mom’s passport got stamped for 2 full years (supervisa). Now onto her PR application wait. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Thank you! I am sure you will post this sooner than soon. :)

We weren’t asked to show any documents, maybe because I was accompanying my Mom (I’m a Canadian citizen). I had submitted all info on ArriveCAN app, and also filled out the paper form. We did not print anything but I did see people showing a lot of paperwork, so I would suggest having everything printed just in case.

Good luck with your application. :)
