My experience : Canada Post (Ordinary) - Montreal to New Delhi - 9 days (LOR) and 10 days (CAQ) DHL Express (Delhi<-->Canada) - 5 to 7 days

Who all are headed to Montreal for Jan 2013 session? Maybe we can help each other out in travel/accommodation. Just enlist here with your course commencement date and city. Thanks :)

Thanks everyone, hope all goes well for you guys too! Thankfully, for me it was just a piece of cake :D Just go by the book when you file the application. Better submit more docs than less information. Thats all I'd say.

Got Visa for 4 years :)

Delhi

Passport Processed and ready for collection. Going to collect it on Monday. Fingers crossed! :-X

I also applied in VFS New Delhi on 3rd October personally (without consultant) under University. Requested for personal collection of passport. Still waiting. Is SPP visa issued faster than University? The wait is indeed so boring :(

Congrats! Hey when did you apply exactly?

I really like to read posts from this guy not because they have infinite wisdom, but 'coz they are laid out in CAPS and are colourful at the same time :)

Try applying for some scholarships. I can point you to some Govt and Non-Govt ones if you are from India. You can also contact the University/college and ask for some financial aid if any.

It all depends on you :) I've just presented my perspective on this. I am getting 20K/year and still I have showed support from my father just to be sure. Moreover we cannot judge here with our own insignificant powers on an insignificant forum as to whether our financial status is weaker or not...

University checklist does not mention these documents (General Checklist indicates some of these under Additional Documents and Recommended Documents section). I added these to my files just because I did not take GIC/Loan but was applying under University Checklist (as it had option to attach...

Can you tell me where and what program you got admitted to? And how much financial assistance are you getting?

I seriously think that mentioning a sponsor/property (if you are not taking a GIC/Loan) will increase your chances and assure the VO about your backup plans in case the stipend is somehow suspended for some duration. It can be a worst case scenario as the financial assistance letter from...

The checklist docs on the VFS webiste (http://vfs-canada.co.in) answers your query. Just FYI here, its recommended to apply 3 months in advance and no later than 1 month before your session starts. Average processing time for 'initial response' is 15 days. I would advise you to read all the docs...

FYI, Financial Docs Submitted Fellowship (financial assistance) letter from university Letter from Sponsor (my father) on office letterhead Letter from Sponsor mentioning his current occupation, salary and number of dependants Letter from Sponsor's employer (Govt) mentioning designation...

Call Immigration Quebec at around 7 in the evening and clear your doubts. (Select 2 from 1st menu then select 1) Thats the best way. They will help you out for sure. I had called up Immigration Quebec guys twice and my university once, DHL in Canada in my whole process to get precise answers.

Thanks for the info :)

I submitted my application (under University category) on 3rd October and the average processing time as per the website is 15 working days. Can people who have already applied before from India/Delhi tell me realistic times for initial response?

Study permit guide says 'Yes' if you are going for 6 months or above for studies. So I did. I don't know if its necessary or not.
