the acknowledgement email and receipt of the online docs/info on 7/13/2016.

I don't know if I can call or email anybody to get an update.

Yes, a marriage certificate is necessary if your father is going to be the principal application or vice versa. For 10 days visit, you may not need much funds to show, but to prove the ties you must show them 6-9 months old statement.

For documents look at the following link:

Hi,
Applied TRV online 24th July
Avg processing time 8 days
I called today to confirm (9th Aug) why i haven't received anything yet.
The CIC agent checked my file and contacted the department. They said they have sent my application for some verification and i should hear within 8 weeks . :(.. no additional document is required and there is no issie with my application.

I am extremely worried. My tickets are booked for 21st Aug.

Is it possible for me to get the approval letter and get the stamp from my home country. Any idea is appreciated.

I'm in the exact same situation myself, submitted online application for TRV on 12th July and biometrics on 13th, no other communication except acknowledgement and online transmission emails since the 15th of July.
I filled the complaint web form and got automated responses. My issue is the conference I need to attend starts today so I'm really upset about it and wonder if I'd still be given the visa considering the event is already underway.

Hi All. Nice to see this thread. I just want to know when CPP-Ottawa receive the passport do they update the status in online application, saying passport recieved??

Send passport on 4th. canadapost says passport was delivered on 5th. But after that nothing. No status update mentioning the passport received nor my return tracking number is activated. So I am just wondering whether my passport is in a limbo? My friend sent his one last week and got the thing immediately. Relatively mine taking a longer time than i expected :(

Hi guys ,
applied for TRV online within CANADA
....................................................
Applied for Trv online July 21 2016
Reception of the application received from CIC July 21 2016
Passport request received July 29 2016
Passport sent to Ottawa by privet courier (Loomis express) the envelop including my passport and the letter of request and a prepaid privet envelop (Loomis express ) and that was my mistake because it is showing that i have to send an express post envelop for the return of my passport
Passport Received by CPP Ottawa August 04 2016
No update in my cic account so I called cic to make sure they received my passport , they confirmed
August 12 2016 I called again to see if there is any update because nothing showed up in my account , agent checked my status and told me that they send me my passport August 09 2016 with a ''courier'' :eek: :eek: :eek: , the problem that I think they did not send my passport through Loomis express because I am tracking it every day but it is not scanned , and the mailing address in my application is different then my location .....

So my question is : is it possible that CPP Ottawa send my passport with regular mail ?
What did the officer mean when he told me that '' they send my passport through a courier ??? did he mean Canada post or Loomis express ....

it's been 3 days now and nothing received or changed , I leave in Newfoundland ...


Please help guys and thank you
