Have you linked your application online if yes then the BIL is under the heading messages about your application. If you haven't then suggest you do so as this online linking provides real-time information and also has all your detail details which might come handy in future.

I linked my account online and the BIL was under the heading messages about your application so if you do so you may also get it from there. The other option is to contact CIC and request them to send the letter.

I have applied for visitor visa online today and paid the fees. What are the next steps for me. Will I be notified by CIC regarding the same like when to provide my biometrics and all. Also I have got some bar codes on my application, do I need to submit them somewhere

Thanks, even I just got it. Thanks again. And any idea how long does it take to receive the visa after biometric submission
For my case a day after I submitted & paid online, I got the biometrics instruction letter.[/QUOT

Approximately 3-4 weeks after biometric submission. However, it varies for some reasons (location, holidays, etc.)
