Passport stamping/processing times at IRCC's New Delhi office (or similar regional offices) can vary noticeably between applicants:
- Some applicants report waiting around two weeks with no update after submitting their passport for stamping.
- Others report a turnaround of about two weeks total (e.g. one member's parents' passports were sent on the 28th and returned by the 11th, roughly two weeks later).
- Treat these as rough, anecdotal data points rather than guarantees — actual processing time depends on office workload and can shift over time, so check IRCC's current published processing times before making firm travel plans.
- If you're well past the typical range with no update, consider following up through the appropriate IRCC channel (e.g. a webform) rather than waiting indefinitely.
