You are correct. Flying via Amsterdam doesn't need any additional documentation for Indian citizens. Flying though Germany does require PR card or valid U.S. visa . I confirmed this with embassy last week and it is mentioned in VFS site as well. Yes one cannot travel through London without PR card. It's mentioned in VFS site as well irrespective of what people say here.vinaj said:
Yes, the rep is very nice. He checked my file and told me that my file is waiting to get processed.

We have a similar thread running over in the PNP forum (yours here has a lot more posts though). I'll copy what I just posted there:
---------------------------------------
Dammit, I got an agent that didn't care.
It was like getting blood from a stone from her. The first thing she said after she asked my landing date is that there are currently mailing delays and I should get my card sometime around mid December. I had to ask her to take my UCI so that she would actually check my file, which she reluctantly did. She verified all my details (address is correct, etc etc) and then told me that my card application was not yet in process.
I also asked her if the application status would show up on ECAS, and she said the reason it's not there is because processing hasn't started. Then I asked if it will show up once they do start processing - she said yes, but I very much got the impression that she just wanted to get me off the phone.
So in summary, despite the 45 days having passed since I landed, my card is not in process. There are mailing delays which apparently add another 3-4 weeks on to the card delivery time.
I'm going to wait until the online estimate updates again, which I can only assume will increase. Then when I pass that date again, I will call again.
Good luck to everyone else with this too! Please call up and see if you can get any other information from them! We need to pool our resources and crack through CIC's secrecy! 8)

What difference does it make if one cannot access his ecas,?I cannot see my ecas. What status your ecas shows? Complete or in process?vinaj said:
am not sure what difference that makes... But i can access it and some people including you can't access it... maybe there is a reason behind that...takhan said:
Mine shows complete and a sixth line has been added that "you landed at calgary int airport on sept 29th". this was updated on Nov 1st
45 days is just an estimate and doesn't include shipping and production time. If you need to travel - do it by all means. Just apply for Travel Document at local Visa Office (50CAD). I hope you get your PRC before your departure though.etikala said:
