    Sample passport request letter

    Is there a way to find exactly what's written in the passport request letter? I've received TRV's twice before, but can't find the letter on my computer. Tried googling it but can't find the text anywhere. Can someone who received it recently paste the text on this thread (of course, anonymize...

    Do I have to submit my passport in the same country where I made my application?

    Hmm, but is it certain that I will have to submit passport to the Delhi visa office? I have a friend who applied for a PR in Canada, but submitted passport in India.

    Yes, I have a US B1/B2 that let's me go on short-term business trips. I can't be employed by a company based in the US, but can work for my Canadian employer.

    Do I have to submit my passport in the same country where I made my application?

    I made an online application on April 12th from India and haven't heard back yet. I may have to go to the US soon though. What happens if I get a passport request while I am there? Can I just submit my passport to the nearest embassy in the US? Background: I am an Indian citizen, I have a job...

    Working before applying for a PGWP

    So I finished a PhD from a top Canadian university in December 2014 and started a PostDoc at the same university in January 2014. I'd asked the university immigration expert for guidance in the matter and she'd said I could start working as long as I applied for a PGWP within 3 months. So my...

    I work in Toronto. Got stranded in India

    Thanks, this does help. Good to know that other people have made the same mistake! I'd hate to be stuck in Amsterdam departure area for three days. But you were lucky to get it stamped within 7 days! I've been waiting for three weeks now! Perhaps 10 yrs ago they were not this overloaded. Can...

    I work in Toronto. Got stranded in India

    I still haven't heard back from them. So I am trying to think of reasons why they might be facing difficulties processing my application. When I look at document list for paper application it shows Family Information Form as mandatory. But in my online application MyCIC didn't ask for the...

    TRV Applied but no news so far

    I had applied on April 12 and am still waiting. I'm curious... you said last year you applied online and they rejected because of insufficient documents. Is it even possible to provide insufficient documents online? From what I understand, it doesn't even let you submit if you don't upload all...

    Does CIC process applications chronologically?

    If you go to the processing time webpage at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/ and choose "Visitor visa (from inside Canada)" here's what they say: "7 days. Working on applications received on April 14, 2016." I have many questions about this. Today is April 28, 2016, so 14 days...

    Dehli - India - Parents Visit visa

    Exactly. Why does it take months for some applications? I don't think the problem is that it takes months. I think the problem is that we have no idea why. I wouldn't mind so much waiting for two months as long as they kept telling me what was going on. May be they are stuck with something...

    New Delhi VO - Online TRV application timeline

    I just called them. The automated voice says: "If you applied online after March 7, then your application is yet to be processed. The processing time is 38 days." But then when I check my status, they also say that the processing times are available online. And the online processing time says...

    New Delhi VO - Online TRV application timeline

    That sounds like a mistake. Give us more detail. What number did you call? Did you speak to a person or was it an automated voice service? Was this processing time for all applicants or those submitting in India? Also, I can't really parse your statement. Are you saying all applications...
