ICT Canada Process and Question
Hi,

I am from India, staying in the US on an H1B and my wife is on H4. We have a kid who is a US citizen. My company is applying for an ICT transfer to Canada. My company sent me the letter to submit my passport (both for me and my wife) for me for stamping.

I plan to move to Canada in April and was wondering what visa would be required for my son (us citizen)? Does he need a visa to go to Canada with me given that only essential travel is being allowed currently?

Thanks,
Ankur

WP GSS category application timeline and Shipping labels query
We are a family of three (daughter is a US citizen), planning to travel to Canada by road

Following is our timeline as of Jan 21, 2021:
1. Biometrics Completed - Dec 1, 2020 (at NYC ASC)
2. Medical test results - Dec 19, 2020 (at NYC Albert Levy)
3. Medical Result approved - Dec 22, 2020
4. Waiting for Passport Request letter - checked Jan 20, 2020 (portal says: reviewing eligibility, no additional docs needed, background check being processed and application is in progress)

I was reading that the next step of receiving the approval letter is to request a two-way shipping label from VFS? Is there any way we can request a label before receiving the approval (assuming that the application is approved?) as it may save some time.

Your help is really appreciated. Thanks

WP GSS Category Time from US to Canada
Hi All,

Do we have anyone in this group whose WP was filed in GSS category from US to Canada and can suggest average processing time in these current delays? I have seen some posts where regular ICT WP has taken around 2 months to get passport request. So probably GSS ones can be faster, any suggestions would be helpful.

Canada WP timeline and question
I applied Canada WP from USA, here are the dates:

1. Application sent - October 8, 2020
2. Biometric completed - October 20, 2020
3. Approval and Passport request received - Dec 21, 2020
4. Sent request to VFS for shipping label - Dec 29, 2020 (Delay on my end as I went down to NY CVAC office but they declined in-person dropping of passport)
5. Payment link received - Jan 7, 2021

Completed payment and now Waiting for shipping labels.

Can someone suggest that shipping label is sent via email or by post? And how much time could it take for passport to be returned with stamp? I am sending it to New York CVAC. I heard they are quite slow, already experienced delay in providing payment link.

ICT WP Processing Time from US
Hi All,

Need your suggestions, my WP is applied at NY office on Dec 18th in GSS category which gives 14 days processing time, lawyer also said that this might not be entertained due to COVID and normal 15 weeks processing time as per CIC website might apply. My US max out date is April 30, 2021.

Do you guys think I can get the WP ready to move to Canada before that based on current processing times? If it delays further do i have option to stay back to wait for a bit to avoid unnecessary travel to India in COVID times.

Thanks in advance for providing inputs.
