He clearly applied thru paper because he got his passport back. With online, you only send passport when CHC asks for it and they ask for it if visa is approved

The length of the visa varies based on your situation. The visa officer will give you a visa based on your application could be 6 months, 1 year, 4 years. After you get the visa, the expiry date on the visa is the last date you can enter Canada. At the airport, border services officer will...

That's not true. There is no expiry date on the account. There's a 60 day expiry date for a started application.

They just go by the tracking number of the courier service. The courier tracking will tell you what date it was received at the embassy

No you do not get confirmation message form CIC. You just get your passport back. People have reported anywhere from 4 days to 2 weeks. So don't stress out

I might not be the best person to be advising you about it. In my case, I just attached my wife's one month old job letter with Rs. 12,000 salary. She didn't have a bank balance or any property. She just wrote a letter saying that I want to go see my husband and wrote an affidavit promising that...

Here's the letter I wrote and also got it notarized - Dear Visa Officer, I am writing this letter in support of the visit visa application for my wife, XXXXXX. The purpose of her trip is to visit me here in Canada while our application of family class sponsorship (Application # XXXXXXXXX) is...

I'm sorry to hear that you had a bad experience. They probably should've treated you better. But your post said you need answers. Don't see any questions. Could you explain what your question is/are?

Great news guys...PR application processing time from islamabad has gone up from 29 to 31 months. :D Sorry about the sarcasm. I sent my wife's application in May so I'm in for the long haul too. however,this can be good news in a way that since wait times are SO excruciating, they might be...

I applied for a multiple entry visa. but for the length of the visit i said less than 6 month. I don't know how the VO decides what legnth to give it for but in our case he gave us 4 years which I'm glad about.

Via TCS

In my case it seems like they stamped it the day after they got it because visa valid date is 07/31/2013. I've seen people on this forum who had to wait for weeks to get their passport back as well. so it varies by case i guess

put it in an enevelop. write the address of the embassy which you can get from CIC website. go to your nearest TCS location. and send it.

There is room for one more doc upload at the bottom after schedule 1 I believe. upload all your extra documents there
