    if i can't submit passport in 30 days..then what?

    Would it be canceled or denied? I may be in a similar boat soon. Cancellation isnt a problem. My fear is that they deny and then you have to tell the world on every single occasion that you were denied a visa...all because they dont give a clear timeline.

    Did I read that correctly? 55 days from the US?

    For #3, I showed a job, a property ownership and worker status until over a year from now. I do not know what could possibly be a stronger tie, short of a green card which doesnt need a Visa to begin with. This time the only difference is my wife lives with me in the us (I sent a copy of her ID...

    Did I read that correctly? 55 days from the US?

    I really hope so. I'm tired of filing for Canadian visas and going through this ordeal so many times. Takes forever to scan all that crap (I swear to God my mum did not change since the last gazillion applications) Last time they gave me just a few months. The particular expiry date matches...

    Did I read that correctly? 55 days from the US?

    Last time it took almost 1.5-2. I want to apply for the current one, in anticipation since both the application and notes will take too long. I do not expect refusals, just delays but I order them out of spite nevertheless. Last time I ordered after approval to see exactly why it took forever...

    Did I read that correctly? 55 days from the US?

    Most likely my country isn't listed then.the page did indeed interrogate me about the passport country of issuance at the very beginning. Plus it's me and ircc, even of my country did theyd cancel it turn day before I apply. Given that gcms notes take 2 months, should I just apply from now in...

    Did I read that correctly? 55 days from the US?

    Hmmm I cannot find anything about it there. Note: I applied online. I searched a bit and saw articles (not from ircc though) that the system automatically identifies the application. I already uploaded all docs like financial support etc but all I want is fast processing.

    Thank you Bryanna, Can you share official links to this program? How do I apply? Is it available to non-Indians?

    No last name/surname in passport - how to fill application

    Not sure if it helps but I saw in the US some people use 'FNU' for an unknown family name. Maybe Canada has a similar provision? Consult experts though!

    TRV for australian PR

    Pros: he has Australia PR Cons: he is Egyptian, he is unemployesd, he is a young male (I imagine hes single since you didnt mention a family). Sounds like IRCC will deny him outright. I'd wait until he's an Australian citizen and skip the pain of dealing with IRCC. Alternatively...does the PR...

    Did I read that correctly? 55 days from the US?

    It was 11 days last June. Now granted they took forever for my case but it was a system glitch. What made it go 5x? IRCC always, always finding ways to f### me over.

    Did I read that correctly? 55 days from the US?

    I cannot believe I'm back at this point so soon but unfortunately I have to go to Canada soon, and go through the visa ordeal all over again. Checking the processing times says it takes 55 days for applicants from the US..FIFTY-FIVE! Did I read that correctly? Does that apply for both paper and...

    asking for delay

    Isn't it required that you apply for SOWP from inside Canada? How come there's an interview?

    Useless GCMS notes?

    Sorry for the late reply. Extenuating circumstances.. @bellaluna, you're spot on. Buried within notes, found out this PRECIOUS line 2 months in, proving they were the ones in the wrong after all: "Biometrics results not received to date due to GCMS system glitch. New bio request letter resent...

    Useless GCMS notes?

    Angry at how slowly my app went (3.5 months instead of the expected 11 days), as well as the short period (approved only for like 6 months), we ordered the notes. They came late of course (because IRCC, duh) Nothing useful. Over 50 pages of just status updates & lines saying status: system...

    interval between 2 visits

    How do you get a human on the phone? (if outside Canada) If you're in Canada, how long did it take to get someone?

    Do we need to download and sign the Family information form while applying online?

    This is correct. You check a box which is basically a blanket declaration when you log in, that counts as signature. The main form has to be digitally validated however (with the barcode etc).

    Visa granted for a few months only!!!!!

    Wow...you know, we haven't thought of that! You're such a genius!! Because my wife was helping and suddenly just decided to sit down. And he also called his in-laws and they were all so available that day but decided to stand there and not help him when they heard that I should have been...

    Visa granted for a few months only!!!!!

    I'm not going to apply every freaking year. The US give 5 or 10 years regardless so only the Canadians are being so stupid. It clearly says multiple entry so those morons are really only limiting the time-period. Also remember that they need to staff the process so applying every 6 months is...
