During applying time I was in USA because I reside in USA as a student. since the approval delayed for 45 days I decided to visit my family in Kuwait. during my presence in Kuwait I received the approved online visitor visa and they asked me to provide my passport. My question is can I send my passport to the VAC with Priority Express Airway mail from Kuwait or I have to go back to USA and send my passport from there only?
Approved Online Visitor Visa: Passport Return Times
- Thread starter weekendtourist
- Start date
I submitted an online application for visitor visa on July 14th and have not hear back from them at all. I got a couple emails notifying me about updates, there nothing was changed when I logged into my account. I have a trip arranged on Aug 14th and really worried right. Anyone has any ideas what should I do now? Thanks a ton for any help!
Yes, I did send them messages a couple times, but never got any reply. 
Also, just in case, for the passport stamping, can I bring it to the VAC myself to shorten the process? or I have to mail it to VAC, and wait for them to mail to embassy to stamp it and then mail back?

I have been admitted for a french language and culture course at McGill University in Quebec city for January 2017. I have fully paid for my course and also paid fully for off campus accommodation.
I am 23 years and hold an Associate Degree in Hospitality Management and a flight attendant certificate, I want to work as a flight attendant or Restaurant supervisor or manager in a big hotel that is why i want to learn the french language which will give me an advantage.
I own a grocery and cosmetic shop and the business has been registered in my name.
DOCUMENT I WILL BE SUBMITTING TO THE EMBASSY
*Acceptance Letter
*Accommodation reservation receipt
*My Business Registration Certificate and Tax Receipts
*Tenancy agreement for my rented shop
*University Certificate and transcripts
*Few receipts of good I purchase to my shop
*Personal Bank Statement with $2000 CND and Reference letter from bank
*Statement of Purpose
*Letter from my Church to give evidence of my role and duties in Church
*Tenancy agreement of my rented room
*Sponsors Bank Statement with balance of $4600 CND and reference letter from the bank (My Sponsor is my Biological mother)
*Sponsorship Letter

*Copy of sponsors passport
Do I have a strong case to be a successful applicant?
NB:I am using a sponsor because my business is only a year and 2 months old

Hi AaryaD,AaryaD said:
Could you please share the process you followed to submit passport for stamping in India?
I am in the same situation. My mother applied for Visitor Visa online and it got approved. She cannot submit passport in person and there is not enough information on VAC website on submitting passport via mail.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks.
