Hi there everyone.

I really need anyone's advice and experiences applying for TRV from Philippines. I'm trying to guide and help my cousins there apply to visit me in Vancouver this spring/summer, some are still in school (ages 17-20) and some are working (age 22-25).

How long does it usually take after the initial appointment at the embassy? Do they need the original of my Invitation letter (I'm mailing it from Canada). Once they get a TRV, even if they request only 3 weeks to stay with me, technically does the TRV stay valid for 6 months? Or we only find out at the customs port in Vancouver when they get their stamp?

If you have experiences getting approved or denied, I'd really appreciate your feedback and tips.

Thank you SOOO much!!!!!
