I applied in Sydney, Australia and got the approval letter in 24 hours. I got exactly the same letter and my passport was stamped too in 3 days. I have just come back from canada in the last few days.
If you include all the documents and its a decision ready file, it doesn't take too long. They request the passport and verify it once before stamping it.
June, as long as there is nothng wrong with your passport - the visa should be stamped and u will have the passport back soon.
congratulations and safe travels for your furture trip.
cheers
as what robbiefernando posted, i applied online on June6th for TRV and on June 7th when i wake up, the request of original passport is in my CIC. i am chinese citizen and currently working in philippines. i dont know if this is good or not even. it sounds bit too good to be true and it just happened. i am going to send in my passport to the Manila embassy since both of my selection of my current residence and apply location are philippines.
just hope they dont ask you to send in the passport for rejection stamps...that will be interesting.
my application is simple.. single entry tourist visa..staying around a month..
Canadian citizen invitation letter provided, my friend will cover my expense while i am in canada.
my company employment letter ( what company might matter )and past 6 months of pay slips and 3 months of bank statement. not rich though.
my travel history most majorly in S.E Asia
wish me good luck and all good luck for you guys..
