Hi, right now I'm in Canada and I applied for my TRV on dec 2nd. it's mentioned that the processing time would be 53 days from the date of submission, but due to emergency conditions in my home, I have to travel to india asap. I am wondering what would happen if I travel right now and if it's possible to post my passport directly from india to the visa office after it gets approved? does this work or should I cancel my TRV or is there any other option that you might know of? I am on a valid work permit which is good until 2022 may. I can choose to create another application mentioning that I'm applying outside Canada(after I travel to India) but the processing time shows 260 days!!! I'll be stuck in india until then and my work permit will be just wasted. can anyone help me in providing the options that I can choose. thanks
I don't think you have any option here. Probably you can talk to IRCC directly but you cannot send passport directly from India. In India you need to send through VFS but they wont accept passport request until you have official letter from IRCC with India address. Even my spouse wants to travel but due to emergency but luckily she got passport request last week. She applied TRV from Canada on Nov 2nd and we are waiting for passport.
People are still waiting from Sept 15th as per this forum. I have applied on Sep 21st for myself and I got approval notice on Nov 27th, so its totally random.So we cannot say processing time.
Submitted on SEP 21st
Passport request: Nov 27th
Passport submitted: Nov 27th
Passport returned from IRCC: Dec 7th
Passport delivered to me December 9th
