Hello Anura@06, congratulations!!
Could you help in below query:
I assume you applied via new portal (and not gckey). If yes, did you fill out separate applications for your father and mother, or was it just one application (one parent as primary other one as secondary).
I am asking as I am not getting that option in new portal. In the past I had applied in gckey and there I had applied keeping one as primary.

I think I found the answer: basically to click on group icon and update both parents names and applications

I applied for Visitor Visa from USA on Sep 23rd. No update after Oct 18th biometrics. Now I have to change my passport (personal reason although expiry is after 6 years) in December and travel to India for a period of 3-4 months. What if I receive PPR after I renewed my passport and temporarily residing in India? Is it ok to send new and old passport together? Can I send it to the requested consulate from India itself? For ex: Send passport to my wife in the US and send it to consulate for visa stamping via US address?
Any suggestions are appreciated..

Everything but mine and couple of our friends here :)
Hi all,
1) If all applications are processed in New Delhi, shd we contact delhiimmigration [at] international.gc.ca for any requests / inquiries, rather than the ones at Blr/Mum?
2) Does PPR notification come via email and are there 2 mails, in case of 2 applicants (dad and mom)?
3) Can the passport be submitted in person in the VFS center? What is the appr. duration for this stage..?
Thanks.

I am a CoPR holder and i am waiting to land in Canada in about 4 weeks and then after landing and collecting PR card,hope to come back to India(in Jan( to get married for a few days and travel back.
With this being the case,can i apply for Visitor visa for my fiance without mentioning my relationship and then apply for spousal a bit later after i land back after marriage in Jan?
what would the timelines be like?
Don’t hide anything from IRCC. It may prove counter productive!! Apply for her trv before marriage. Then you need not hide anything. Also, if her visa is not approved before her marriage to you, you have to upload the change through a webform.

Yes you can contact at Delhi immigration. The PPR intimation will be made via email and separately for you mom and dad. At present no vfs is accepting passports personally. When you go for biometrics you can inquire there.
