apply TRV within Canada and get stamping in India

[parthgusani]

Hey I am in a dire situation and need help. This thread is the only information I could find on this subject. I have applied for trv on Jan 7 and I need to leave for India in a couple of weeks. Can I get my passport stamped from Ahmedabad or any other place in India? Is it even a thing? Or do I need to apply for it again as I specifically applied this time and selected"within canada"! Would that cause a problem? What are my options here? Please let me know if anyone has faced a similar situation recently. Thanks!

Yes you can but you need to wait for the passport request letter. Once you get that you can fly and get it stamped in India.

Hi @Thakur77 ,
You cannot come back without a TRV. If the TRV applied within Canada is approved you can get your passport stamped with the passport request letter once your application is approved.
Please consider the timeline of your application approval along with the passport stamping timeline and then plan your trip. There are few locations like Delhi which are accepting 2-way courier request for passport stamping. You can check for the details on the VFS website.

@rdesai90 Thanks for your reply. My only doubt is, would I be allowed to submit my passport for stamping in India if I initiated the visa process in Canada and got the passport request from here? Would that make any difference or they would process the same? Thanks.

You can get your passport stamped in India as long as you have the passport request letter issued for your TRV application.

I had a word with cic agent over the call. She said we cannot stamp our passport outside canada.

You have to wait until you get the request and only then fly. That's what I did.

But will that make any difference by waiting for the passport request letter cause it's anyhow going to be sent electronically to the mycic account only right?

Any reason why? You don't need approval to fly out. The request is only for stamping and required when entering Canada.

Yes, you can leave and if passport request is approved you can get your stamping done in India.
