Yeah seems confusing..I suppose May 1st just means that since then all documents have to go through VAC
Just stick with the 15 days deadline I suppose...and ask VO directly for a submission extension for spouse

You really do need to investigate properly as regards extension !!! I submitted my passports yesterday and it clearly statesman that letter " on no account would an extension be granted". . You might also consider having your family send their passports to you asap to you can put them all in .

I know this "lingo" might seem strange..lool

As far as I understand ghost update might mean:

1- When you log on to your CIC account you find that your overall application status says "updated" even though you have not received any emails nor are there any visible updates in the lines inside your application (eligibility, background checks etc.)

2- when you log on you find that your overall status says updateb AND there is an update in one of the lines BUT you still have not received an email informing you of the update

BASICALLY it just means that there is some kind of movement or progress in the application which may (or may not in some cases) indicate an imminent step forward in the application

Hope I'm right:)
Correct!!!

Hi all!

I just received a letter from CIC asking me to submit my passport to the London Visa Office.

I am a bit confused though as to exactly what I am supposed to do. I am an Indian citizen currently living in Norway.

In the letter, it says that I need to first figure out if I need a visa to travel to Canada and to check that I must goto this link -- http://www.cic.gc.ca/ENGLISH/visit/visas.asp -- and it seems like I do need a visa to travel to Canada.

Then it says that I need to goto the VFSglobal website to find out how to submit my passport.

So, am I supposed to go through VFS and pay the fees or am I reading it wrong? Also, how long does it take to get the passport back as I have travel plans on July 15th.
