Many thanks.

Many thanks Doda. You mean they normally stamp the visas on the passports 5 - 7 days after they receive it, right? To my understanding, as long as it is delivered to CHC in London less than 30 days then it's ok, even if it is more than 30 days when they start working on visa stamping. Am I...

Thanks for your answer. I just wonder how they count this 30 days. If they regard 'receive' as the time delivered to the CHC (which is 8 Aug), then it's ok; but if they regard 'receive' as the time they start looking at her passport and finalise her application (very likely over 30 days), then...

Congratulations! Do you know on which date they sent your passport back?

My final timeline 23 June: submitted application online (resident in North Europe); 11 July: received original passport request email; 24 July: sent my original passport (because I needed my passport in mid July to go abroad); 26 July: passport delivered to Canadian High Commission in London; 1...

Hi Doda, Thanks for the link. My passport was delivered to CHC London last Friday 26 July, and it has not been sent back yet? Do you think it's normal and have you got any idea roughly how long further I have to wait? Many thanks.

Many thanks for your information. Do you know if there is any telephone number at CHC in London to ask about this?

Hi, I submitted my online application on 23 June, and received the passport request on 11 July. Let's hope for the best for your case. You may also send them an email asking about your application, it might work.

Hi, many thanks for ur reply. From ur experience, it might be a bit early for me to start worrying. I will wait for another day or two to see if they will send it back.

I am living in Northern Europe, I applied for the visitor visa online and received original passport request in mid July. I sent my passport to Canadian High Commission in London and it was delivered on 26 July. When can I expect my passport to be returned? I enclosed a prepaid self-addressed...
