Plus the avg. processing times are just an estimate and not usually a commitment. Nevertheless, I got my counterfoil placed exactly 15 business days after I submitted my application and 15 calendar days after I send my passport to Ottawa. Good luck!I was told it would be approved within 15 days and another 5 days for your passport to be returned to you.You would have waited for close to a month just to get your TRV and you used expresspost.
