Sorry Edwin, to say you are wrong.

VANOC is handling a majority of the process, the CIC just stamps it. Most althletes do not even need a Visa, their Olympics ID card is their visa.

There has been no slow down in application processes due to the Olympics.

VANOC is the Vancouver Organizing Committee for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.


That is the kindest answer I have heard, BTW VANOC is a bad word to some Canadians :)
