You are right. Thanks! It's been a while since I last stayed as a visitor.

Always give yourself a month from the date they receive your application, regardless of whether you apply online or on paper :) Good luck!

Hi Thanks for starting this thread! My application package will arrive on March 1st. Good luck to everyone!

I see what you mean. Was your extension granted? Can't you leave before March 11th? Why did you request to extend your stay until March 11th, instead of a later date? Either way, you must be careful regarding the date you enter and leave Canada as they will have records of that.

Perfectly fine. Enjoy your trip!

I'm glad to help. Yes, I sent my passport to CPP - Ottawa :)

That's not a problem at all. Enjoy your trip!

You have a job interview or an interview with CIC on March 25th? Either way, give yourself a month from the date you submitted the application before starting to get worried. Good luck!
