Question on Canadian Tourist Visa
I gave my biometrics and got an email from them to send the passport, along with 2 copies of TT Services Consent form and a 19.9 dollar money order for "TT Visa Services service charge"

I am traveling with my wife and 2 children. Do I need to include 2 copies of TT Services consent form for everyone or just one is sufficient?

Do I need to pay 19.9 dollars for everyone? or is one service charge enough.

Canda Visa Application from US
24th May: Submitted application online
26th May: Got request for Biometric
Had no date available until 11th so did a walk in
30th May Biometric done
9th June: Passport request

11th June: shipped by UPS overnight.. (consent letter 2 copies, passport request letter, passport and the money order of $19.90)

12th June: reached there at around 10 am ( tracking from ups)

No communication after that about the package, tracking nothing

19th June : checked the portal and saw that there was an update about application being accepted and a start and expiration date, counterfoil document number.
Also said travel document okay to travel with.

Got an email, saying account was updated, assumed it was the same thing.
20th June: no update, checked the tracking from the ups return label number just to see if my package has been shipped.
Finally checked again at 12 pm, said package was dropped at 10:30 am, Assumed that is my passport
21st June: morning got my passport before 8:30 am.

PS: I had not received any communication/ tracking regarding my package being sent to the IRCC. But yes I got my passport on time.

Try sending your application early if you have planned trip.

Canada visitor visa process experience
I would like to share my experience about obtaining Canada visitor visa from USA:

May 19 - Registered on the CIC portal using GC Key to fill the online application

May 22 - Submitted the application form with all the necessary attachments and paid the fees

May 23 - Obtained Biometrics Collection Letter in CIC portal

May 23 - Booked appointment online to provide biometrics at USCIS ASC - the earliest appointment slot was for 2 weeks later

June 7 - Visited USCIS office and gave biometrics (make sure you take your USCIS appointment scheduler letter as well)

June 7 - On the same day, Biometrics details got updated in the CIC portal

June 13 - Obtained the Biometrics Correspondence Letter and Original Passport Request Letter

June 13 - Printed the required documents - Original Passport Request Letter, Consent form (very important - check VFS Canada website to download Consent form and sign)

June 14 - Drove to NYC VAC office near Times Square and submitted the passport with the documents, paid $19.90 with card and provided return envelope with USPS shipping label

June 14 - Same day received email with tracking ID saying the visa application is dispatched to IRCC office; The VFS tracking website also showed the same status

June 17 - Received email that visa application is under process at IRCC office

June 17 - Received another email " Your processed decision envelope has been dispatched from the IRCC Office to the Canada VAC in USA, NY"

June 17 - Checked the CIC portal - status shown as 'A final decision has been made' and displayed the document status with expiry date (indicating visa is approved)

June 18 - Received email "An envelope of your decision that has been processed has been sent from the IRCC office to the Canadian Application Centre,NY"

June 18 - Received another email "Your processed decision envelope has been collected from the Canada VAC in Canada VAC, NY"

June 18 - USPS tracking number got activated (passport was dispatched)

June 19 - Received Passport with Canada visa stamp - multiple entry with visa expiry date of 1 day before passport expiry date

The entire process took almost a month for me. So, if you wish to apply through online, it is advised to plan in advance and apply accordingly.
