I have been told that you need appointments for Entry Visas

Can anyone remind me again at what time does the appointments for BLS open, is it at 8PM? I need to travel in 4 weeks time and Surrey office keeps changing if visas can be processed by walk-ins or need appointments.

If you have urgent need to travel, just fill new forms with photographs and everything and stand in line, don't ask them to transfer , just show them the immediate need and they should be able to print it for you within 24 hours with the new application

That is awesome, congratulations!!

IMO, these statements are conflicting, Statement 1 - "To help make this process easier for Canadians, Service Canada has implemented a new process. As of now, Canadians who provided a duly completed application by mail more than 20 business days ago, and are travelling within the next 20...

Wait till that time otherwise they will send you back, is what was told to me, honestly i don't want to stand in line and then after 8 hours being sent back, i would rather be sure so that atleast they will hear me out

This is just a transfer request option, which doesn't mean anything, this is just for people who cannot get through the call, also this guarantees nothing. I would rather have them working on something substantial like clearing applications that are due past 13 weeks as a start

What date did you put for the passport transfer request? I am in similar boat, I have asked them to transfer request to local office and put the date of need as 12th August considering I need a visa for India travel which will take ~2 weeks with 2 weeks as buffer if things go bad, however I plan...

What is funny is they keep asking for Proof of need of Passport on twitter and then they suggest don't book travel till you have passport, so what else do they need as a proof? A doctor's note?

I was on call with a service agent and I was told that once the transfer request is made, the Ottawa office basically just sits & waits for the local office to decide if the application will be processed or not, so we essentially miss out on days of work, last time I called them they said both...

I completed 14 weeks today, entering 15th week tomorrow and I am currently on a call with the agent and she is saying she will send an email to the officer, by officer she means her supervisor and her supervisor will analyze and decide if she is supposed to get in touch with office, she is also...

Been here , done that. Basically the agents who deal with us on phone have no way to get in touch with the officers , so all they can do is post notes on the application so that when the officer will eventually open the file which could be after 6 months, he/she can chose to read those notes or...

Ask the customer service agent, if the latest fingerprints were received and updated in the system by the officer dealing with your file?

I remember there was a link shared by someone where you can get email notifications if there is an incoming canada post letter/parcels, can anybody share that again?

Question for travelers to India on Entry Visa, what is the vaccination policy currently, do kids need to be vaccinated to enter India? What about USA, i have a transit halt in US, do kids need vaccination for transit?

Did you call them or they called you to provide update?

Following this... April 27th application submitted, no pp yet

Same application submitted on April 27th, no action after that, just under examination, have tried to move it to local office, never received any callback from local office.

Congratulations, how come your local VO called? Do you have immediate travel plans?

there working hours are really narrow, basically call only works after 9AM till 4:30PM PST, after 4:30 even if you connect, worse case scenario no one will answer when your turn comes
