Hi Everyone, I have applied for my mother's Biometric appointment for her visitors visa at chennai VFS and it's done successfully on Jul 21, 2021. Next day received passport request from IRCC but haven't received any email from VFS to arrange passport pickup by bluedart, whom should I contact? I have emailed VFS center, awaiting for their response meanwhile checking here to know the process
VFS will not contact you automatically for passport pickup. You have to raise a webform in their website to arrange for the pickup and they will reach out to you.

I am in similar situation. Am a PR holder, got married recently in India and applied for my wife’s TRV on July 8 2021 in India. Completed biometrics on July 20 2021, status shows biometrics completed. I guess I will now have to wait few weeks or couple of months to know the result.
hmm lets hope for best

Hi Friends, need a quick suggestion. I have applied for my mother’s TRV in Feb 2021, and got the biometrics done on 12th July. I don’t see any movement in the processing of the visa. Though my wife is pregnant and we are expecting our baby by November, we have not mentioned this to be the reason in the request letter.
keeping the current situation in mind, do you think I should raise any web form/anything that can expedite the process?

You might want to wait until restrictions are lifted. (Travel advice and advisories for India) Current processing time for a TRV in India is 154 days, not including the time it takes to send the application between a VAC and their office as well as the time you need to give your biometrics.

Hello Everyone,

I have applied for visitors visa for my mother . Recently she has completed her biometrics and it's updated successfully. I am a Permanent Resident and my husband is a Canadian Citizen. We have mentioned the same in our application and have uploaded all the related documents as well.
Today they have uploaded 'Information letter' in our gckey account.

Subject: Request for an Authorization for Exemption from Canadian Travel Restrictions for the
Purpose of Family Reunification
Good day xxxxxx,
We have received your enquiry and can confirm that a review of your application remains in
process. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) will be in touch with you when
a final decision is made or if more information is required. To obtain more information, please fill
out the IRCC Web form in order for it to be sent to the responsible Canadian visa office directly.
Due to the ongoing situation, IRCC offices are experiencing processing delays. Rest assured
that they are making all the necessary efforts to process requests as soon as possible;
however, having to respond to status updates on applications will affect the processing times.
Also note that during the review of your file, you are not considered to hold a valid Travel
document. As such, you should not plan or undertake any travel to Canada until you are
advised.
We thank you for your patience in this difficult time,
Sincerely,
Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada

But I didn't raise any webform or send emails till now.
Can someone please say what does this mean??
