Hi Everyone,

I am a Canadian citizen and my boyfriend is Mexican, we've been living in Cancun for the last year and a half and we want to visit Canada together. We'll be staying with my family when we visit but my parents won't give him a letter of invitation - long story. I've heard that applying through VAC online is really fast, like 1-2 weeks for your answer. But I'm assuming that doesn't include the time it takes for them to receive your application?

Can you apply online, like can I scan all of the documents and send them via email or do they need to see the originals? Is this possible, does anyone know? Your help would be GREATLY GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!!

1. 8 days at VAC, 10-15 days at Mexico City.
2. No, you have to submit either in person or through DHL see: http://www.cicmex.com.mx/en-MX/selfservice/CAN_application_processing
