Two Way courier services VFS New Delhi - India

[shashankjv]

Hi all,
please advise,
Can we send passports to different VFS centre as opposed to centre where we gave biometrics?

Yes, I think. As my friend got his parents visitor visa stamped in USA gave Biometrics in India.

Update on my case: I reached out to IRCC. Informed them that we sent wife passport after getting the PPR in the CIC account. She checked and said that the passport was returned because apparently the medicals were not updated. She said it looks like they were updated yesterday and that a "ghost application" has been created and once everything is transferred over, we will receive a new PPR and to use that to submit passport for stamping.

I asked how long will it take. She said cannot provide any timeline but if nothing happens in 2 or so weeks, to call back again and explain the situation and hopefully someone can help then.

Update 2: Just now received a pre-arrival services letter.

Does anyone know how long does the PPR take after the pre-arrival letter?

Hey, did you get new ppr or any update?

Hi. Yes. I got a new PPR letter the next day. Haven't updated on forum yet as I am still waiting for the passport etc. It reached IRCC on 1 Dec 2021. Still waiting on it now. However, this time I did not get a return AWB. I instead got some e-ICR from VFS.

Man, don't know what this new mess is about...sent an email to vfs office...waiting on reply now.

Hi Everyone, my parents received their passport request and sent their application separately but my mom forgot to send SMS/Courier return form(Fill this only if you have paid in advance for availing this service). She got confused as she thought this was something to do with payment link and therefore she did not think she paid in advance. Please help.

She submitted her consent form though.

Should I scan and send it to VFS ? What will happen now ? Her Passport is currently in VFS centre in Chandigarh.

Link to form: https://www.vfsglobal.com/Belgium/India/pdf/F-OPS-10a-Courier-SMS-Request-form-Office-Business-address.pdf

If the address for delivery is different than the address in the passport, then the delivery address to be notified.
This should not be a matter of concern otherwise.

I am still waiting for the medicals to be updated and new ppr. Is your file processing from Delhi or Canada? From where did you get PPR?
I think It will take a while to get return AWB

Last time we got return AWB number right away. This time they sent the e-ICR..let's see what they say on the email.

The PPR was issued from CPC - Ottawa it seems. I think the file of my wife is in Delhi IRCC. Primary office is probably CPC-Ottawa. Not sure anymore because they created a "ghost application" to process it due to error in medicals etc. We have a new application number and all that was on the new PPR.

Is the address just " the officer, vfs global canada"?
Do I need to provide specific address like chennai address or delhi address and building number? I am not sure

How long does VFS take to reply with AWB number once payment link is shared and payment is complete?
Do they always share the AWB number or work on it in background and Bluedart executive directly comes to pickup?

Ok... I got payment link on Friday afternoon around 3pm... Was hoping their process might be automated and AWB would get generated by Saturday... But I guess I should count my hopes for Monday i.e. tomorrow

I'm planning to drop the packages myself to Bluedart once I receive AWB...has anyone done that?

Bluedart also will receive based on some AWB number...
VFS will provide the details by email... and you can track in Bluedart website when they are going to collect..
