Please can anyone help me with a number to call the Canadian embassy. I made a family application and submitted our passports for visa stamping on the 1st of December. My wife and I received our passport back on the 8th of December, but till now we are yet to get our son's passport back. The VFS tracker still says it is under processing at the application center. The thing is we have a trip to the US on the 25th of December and our son is only 2 yrs old, so we cannot leave him as there will be nobody to care for him. I have sent IRCC several emails but no response apart from the auto response. We have till the 22nd to get the passport back. Has anyone else been in this position? I wonder why the passports were not returned together because all 3 were received at IRCC together based on the notifications we got. Is it because Kids do not do biometrics? Anyone with a number i can call for the embassy, pls share.
