Hi everyone
I received my passport request on June 6, and I sent it to the VAC on June 14, since then I haven't received any letter of acknowledgement from the VAC. Am a bit unsettled about this. Also how long will it take to get to the Embassy for further process.

Urgent Contact Method
Hi all,
So I received my passport request last Sunday, and I mailed out everything on Tuesday, it reached their Wednesday morning, after that no communication from the VFS. I need to travel to Canada for a conference in the next 5 days, is there a way to contact them? Their chat system is not that helpful.
Suggestions would be appreciated
Thanks

Canada Visitor Visa processing delayed beyond defined processing times
I have applied for Canada visitor visa from the US. After the status was updated online on 5/22 that the case has been received, there is no update until today (22nd day). My biometrics is completed already and the final decision is pending.
I hear from my peers that they received an email to send passport to VAC in the same week they submitted the application. My case is pending for 3 weeks and still I have not received the email to send passport.
Does this delay mean the case is highly going to be rejected?
My current status is under a non-immigrant visa (L1). Can this be a reason for denial?
Anyone experiencing this situation now OR have faced the same in the recent past? Any help/insight is appreciated. Thanks!

Canada Visa-Passport request
Hi All,
So I got my passport request letter 10 days after my Biometeric.
I had a few questions...
1. Do we have to pay the $19.90 transmission fee (money order), even if we have paid for Biometric.
2. What address does this fee go to?
3. Can someone explain me the return label part, which we have to send them?
Thanks

Canada Visitor Visa experience
Hello,
I would like to take a moment to share my experiences with obtaining a Canada visitor visa. The immihelp forum was extremely helpful to learn about the process, timeline and problems other applicants were faced with.
4/25/2019 - Created the GCKey profile and started uploading documents
4/27/2019 - Submitted the online application
4/29/2019 - Received Biometrics collection letter e-mail
4/30/2019 - Scheduled biometrics appointment on 5/9/2019
5/9/2019 - Provided biometrics at the USCIS office. The Biometrics ID was updated on the same day in the online account
5/16/2019 - Received e-mail that my account was updated. Checked online account and noticed the Passport Collection letter request and Biometrics correspondence letter which is a confirmation that Biometrics details of the applicant was updated in Canadian immigration system along with expiry date etc.
5/21/2019 - Shipped the required documents along with self-addressed envelope via UPS 2nd Day Air
5/25/2019 - Received an e-mail with tracking number but the tracking number did not work in the tracking website
5/25/2019 - Passport dispatched to IRCC
5/29/2019 - Passport processed and dispatched from IRCC to VFS. I was notified via e-mail. I could see counterfoil in online account that showed the visa expiry date.
5/30/2019 - e-mail stated that passport was collected from VFS but I interpreted it as shipping confirmation.
6/3/2019 - Received the passports.
During the time the passport was under processing at VFS / IRCC, the tracking website was down. Chat / calls to customer service is not helpful at all as far as tracking the progress is concerned.
