Hello all,

My parents received a passport request. Can we send it to any nearest location or do we need to send it to Delhi. As it is lockdown in Delhi, does anyone know the process of getting it stamped and this passport request letter is valid only 30 days.

Please let me know
thank you

Hello @dsinghd ,

I have a question for you. When CIC asked you for the flight itinerary did they mention anything about the visa validity? I mean did u book your return flight for 4/4/2021 and showed that on the travel itinerary based on which the visa was issued?
Wondering if it is safe to book a return flight for a random date and submit it to CIC? I got the PHAC approval letter today and it says the validity as 1 month.

Thanks in Advance!
how long it take please?!

Just received PHAC approval for my wife. The validity period for the document is just one month and we haven't applied for the TRV as yet, will probably submit it in a few days, what are the chances that TRV gets approved within the validity period? Also, if the document expires during the process, can you reapply.

Thanks

Hello everyone!! I have applied my mothers visa on Dec 13 2020, to support my pregnancy, didnot get any updates yet. I have sent an email to ircc to prioritize the application on 31st march, being my mother a immidiate family member. They should have replied within 14 days , but didnot hear anything from them yet. Is there any way, they would prioritize the application.? Is anyone on same boat.

Use new webform method as they have stopped replying to an email. Here is the details. https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/coronavirus-covid19/visitors/visa.html#existing
