Visitor Visa (from India - outside of Canada) applicants of October or November 2020

[sb0821]

I received itinerary request from CIC today. Should i go ahead book flight first beacuse they need the actual dates, flight details etc. As they will be included on visa letter. @sb0821 You said you booked tickets after getting visa. Were you able to book exact same flight afterwards which you gave CIC when they requested itinerary?
My concern is that I cannot provide random flight details to them right ? And later travel on a different flight/day ?

Congrats! it depends on the availability of the fights. But if you know the travel dates just book it.

Just be careful about return date when booking, as the visa expires 90-days from date of issue. And not 90-days from date of departure.

Hi..
For a 3-month visit visa, what is usually the maximum coverage limit everyone is taking, for medical insurance? For someone with pre-existing conditions like diabetes, hypertension and cholesterol.

I know for 12-months insurance; 100,000 is recommended.

Quarantine Plan

​

I, (name), travelled from Delhi to Vancouver in Air Canada flight# AC045 destination until (city).

Once I reach (city) Airport I will take a taxi to my daughter’s place and I will self-isolate myself for 14 days as required by the Canadian Government. I am travelling to Canada to provide care for my daughter (name) (xx weeks pregnant) who is a Permanent Resident of Canada. My daughter & son-in-law lives in (city) in a 2 Bedroom apartment with 2 full bathrooms, 2 balconies and I will be using 1 bedroom with an attached bathroom and separate balcony for the quarantine period of 14 days.

Food and other necessities will be taken care of by my son-in-law (Name) in one-time disposable cutlery each time, with all the necessary precautions like sanitizing, wearing gloves, face mask, and face shield while dropping the food at my bedroom doorstep. Once he is away from the bedroom door I will take my food, so that I don't make any close physical contact with him. I will make sure that I will use gloves, face masks, and hand sanitizer whenever necessary e.g. while handling food utensils, etc.

Please contact my Daughter or Son-In-Law for more information as I have language barrier to explain in detail verbally.

You mean that you have PGWP and want to send your passport for stamping in UAE???

So you have a PGWP and you don’t have a valid TRV/visitor visa to enter Canada. If so you can apply from UAE but it will take months to process.
