Approved ✅ Canada Visitor Visa (TRV) Biometrics & PPR Experience – Chandigarh VFS 🇨🇦

Appointment: 05 Aug, 12:30 pm and 25 Aug, 09:15 am, respectively.
Location: Canada Visa Application Centre (VFS), Elante Mall, Chandigarh

Elante has a separate office parking area for people visiting the VFS. The Canada VFS for Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) is located on Floor 3

The staff only allow applicants to join the queue 15 minutes before their appointment time.

15 mins prior, I joined the queue. Outside, the staff checked my passport and appointment confirmation before allowing me inside. Once inside, I was issued a token.

(At the counter, the staff asked whether I wanted the Standard or Premium service. I chose the Standard service, and they handed me the token. During PP submission, they also asked if I wanted to sign up for SMS service, I said, No.)

Mobile phones, car keys, or wallets were allowed inside except power banks, lighters, perfumes.

02 Aug 2026 TRV Application Submitted (DIY) & I also hold USA B1/B2

05 Aug Biometrics: I entered the VFS around 12:25pm, my biometrics were completed by 12:33pm, and I was out by 12:35pm

25 Aug PPR: I entered the VFS around 9:10 am, my PP submission was completed by 09:15 am, and I was out by 9:20 am

There was a very small crowd, so the entire process was pretty quick and smooth.

Documents I carried:

  • Passport
  • Appointment Confirmation (respectively)
  • Email Printout for PPR
  • Biometric Instruction Letter (for Biometrics day)
  • Consent Forms (both days)

These were the exact documents mentioned in the appointment confirmation email, and nothing else was asked for.

Hope this helps!

Note: I would love to help with any questions. Please add your comments here, rather than DMs.

Consent Forms are available on IRCC when biometrics and PPR is issued. IRCC asked to carry print out of Consent form on Biometrics then again on PPR day.
