Passport submission and pickup:
We submitted passports (mine+2 dependents) at New Delhi VFS on 28-Aug-2023. It was under process at IRCC since 29-Aug-2023, with no update till 7-Sep-2023.
By the grace of God, and well wishers, stamped passports email for pickup was received on 7-Sep-2023, and I picked up the same day as they had long weekend offs.
All passports were in separate sealed envelopes, containing stamped passport and COPR (2 copies). One copy had photo affixed and other one had no photo.
I'm not sure if this is usual process, but in my envelope: my stamped passport, COPR (2 copies), and the RFV email printout and one pic of all dependants were there. We submitted 2 photos while passport submission, one was returned.
The VFS team was courteous and helpful. It took less than 5 mins once I was inside the room for passport pickup.
Thank you all for sharing your experience here.
Wish you all the best for your process.
