Dear All,

I wish to inform you that i got a mail from ADVO on the 20th of November. I was informed to send my passport & photos to ADVO office in 30 days. Plz what does this mean? Secondly how can i send my passport & Photos to abu dhabi's visa office without been there physically.

Thanks.
Congrats Angelaehis!

This is the PPR from the Canadian Embassy that everybody anxiously waits for. Hope the email reads that they are ready to issue your visa.

You may send your Passport and photos through Aramex or any other courier company and they will take 10 working days to return the passport to you.

Hi all,

Greetings from Canada! ;)

I finally landed in Toronto on 21 Nov and when the Visa Officer said 'Welcome to Canada', the feeling I experienced cannot be expressed. I landed around 3.15 pm Canada time and was done with the immigration, SIN, baggage collection and customs by 4.45 pm very fast and no problems at all!

I pray and hope that everybody is united with their loved ones really soon!

For those who do not receive their passport within 13 working days, I would suggest to write to ADVO immediately and also request your MP to enquire about the status as ADVO may not respond to your emails but will definitely respond to the MP's enquiry.

Feel free to ask any questions that you may have and if anybody would like to volunteer to update the sheet I could give them access to do so.

I wouldn't rely so much on ECAS updates esp for Medical Records - ours say Medicals updated but our medicals expired in September and we do not have any request from ADVO.

As long as you have made the right arrangement to send your documents, correctly and if possible using some tracking mail service, you can always check to see if documents were delivered. Your new medicals are going to reflect on your Visa Stamp, stating the duration of time for you to land in Canada - so nothing to worry about.
impresso dude thumbs up for ur answer dude thanx alot soon INSHALLAH u ill b hearing sumthng frm ADVO dun worry bruv ! Cheers

Which airline you took, Jenpin? I am asking because I'll be planning to go by Emirates because of the Internet facility but if any other airlines provide such facility from Dubai then I would think about it.

Btw, how's the weather? People who have lived in Gulf for many years are not used to the Cold weather.

No since there is no other family member in your application.

Qs: my 3rd question is do i fill this below form as well on page 12-15 from information guide;
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION FORM
To be completed by ALL applicants aged 18 years or older

Indeed, Form IMM5549 must be filled in alongwith IMM5406E, IMM5669E & IMM5490.

I'll check on your Qs for forms for Abu Dhabi residents and would revert.

Yes. You are required to fill up the residency Questionnaire ( guess it is Form IMM3911) while the Residency Questionnaire FC3 to be left out.
This form could only be filled in by pen.

Same here... it feels scary right! But good to know it was easy for Jenpin...btw how does one get SIN at the airport?
Does Pearson Intrl airport Toronto gives the SIN card right away?
