Also if you’re going for a long time say 3 months you can just go and I’m sure cic processing will be done before then and you only need to send the passport to your country’s visa processing centre. But if it’s a short trip then i wouldn’t risk it!
TRV From Inside Canada - Normal Processing Time Has Passed
- Thread starter Usama Chaudary
- Start date
There is something I don't understand! Why does it say on their website that the processing time of such document is 5 days and it took you 3 months? I'm panicking right now since I applied last Monday and no response have been sent to me!!!
I went through the same thought process! It took me 2 months which was still way over the specified processing period! The only response I got from them was that it requires additional verifications and so the processing time will be more
What if i go to india (flight is on 15 dec)and then send the passport back when i get there and my friend can send the passport to ottawa and then once the visa is stamped and she gets it then she can send it back to me in india . i am only going for 25 days though.
I asked today someone who applied for TRV extension inside Canada, waited for the passport request letter, then printed the letter and submitted his passport and letter in a Canada visa center in his country and it worked since he stayed for 20 days.
As mentioned above you can just submit the letter and passport to the indian office for Canada visa application and they will stamp it there.
Thank you for your help guys,
Question: can i not visit a visa center here in canada and get it stamped if its an emergency ?
Hello, Guys can some one please tell me what to select when you are applying for a TRV as a student in the first question it asks what would you like to do in canada , should i select student or visit if i am already in canada ?
Hey sneha do you have any updates for your passport? Mine according to UPS was received on November 27th and I checked my Canada Post tracker and it is active now. But cic hasn’t sent me any notifications since the passport request. I talked to cic and the lady said it’s common for the officers to not put in the notifications even after they have stamped and sent the passport back. Any thoughts?
Hey Zeeali,
I did not receive any updates since the passport reached the office in Ottawa. Even the Canada post tracker is not active for me yet.
You even spoke to the CIC agent? I never get through to them unless i call 100098 times : (
good luck! if your return tracker is activated it shouldn't take long for the passport to be with you
Hi guys, i have submitted the online application on the 24th of November. I still didn’t receive any passport request eventhough the processing time (6 days) have passed. Who should i contact? Thank you so much
Unfortunately 6 days is too little of a time passed to know exactly what’s happening.
