need help for applying re-entry visa

[kcire]

Hi. Just would like to share my experience applying for TRV thru Buffalo (thanks for the help to job_seeker).
I applied for TRV multiple entry and submitted my application directly to canada consulate in buffalo. I have included everything per checklist except for an itinerary and added some supplemental docs in support of the application. My TRV was processed in less than 2 weeks and have it in hand. BTW, some of the docs I sent was returns to me along with my passport and the visa.

 @ kcire when did you apply for your re entry visa?I submitted my application last january 16,until now i did not receive my visa.

 @  Cancel:
 I submitted my application 26 January 2012 directly at Canadian Consulate Buffalo. TRV issued 02 February 2012 and I received my passport with the visa on it along with the documents that, which I supposed not needed last 08 February 2012.

You will have to pay the fees as indicated by the website in Buffalo (not online, should be bank draft, etc). You will then have to mail it to Buffalo (in your case to Fort Erie since you are in Canada and follow what the instructions for mailing say). Probably do the first hurdle first (complete the forms then print them out).

If your mailing address is in Canada:

Taking advantage of our proximity to the Canadian border, we have made arrangements to have your mail collected in Canada. Your documents will be mailed back to you from Canada.
The Post Office in Fort Erie will not accept commercial courier deliveries (courier packages must be sent to the Buffalo, NY address).
If you wish for us to return your documents to you, please purchase two prepaid 24 x 32 cm Xpresspost - National envelopes at any Canada Post retail outlet.

Enclose one envelope in the other envelope. This second envelope we will use for when we need to mail you. Add the documents you wish to send to us.

I have a problem filling up the application, what should write in the section: "Details of visit to canada" Q#2 "indicate how long you plan to stay in Canada"..{date-from & to} And Q#3.."Funds available for my stay(CAD)...?? what is the possible answer here when you are holding working permit???Please HELP!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

[job_seeker]

Try the expiry date of your passport or your contract. If you have savings place the amount of your savings in CAD or the equivalent of your one month salary. You're working here so the officer will know you receive monthly salary.

to adhelsky, the date you must put is when is the date your coming back to Canada until the validity of your work permit...about funds, if you have savings account try to put a certain amount...

I have just applied for my re-entry visa as well and I sent it to the address in Fort Erie. I mailed my aplication form last Jan 30, 2012 and the visa office in Fort Erie recieved it on Jan 31,2012. And I got my re-entry visa last Monday Feb 13, 2012. Your can use xpresspost regional to save you some money instead of the international as what others are used to. For your fee, you can go to your local bank and ask the teller that you want a bank draft payable to The General Receiver for Canada. Hope this helps. Cheer up!

I got mine! It took only 3weeks to process from Buffalo NY.

Hi, I am under the LCP and planning to apply TRV thru Buffalo. I heard it somewhere that I don't need to provide the proof of funds listed in the checklist if I'm a caregiver. What can u say about this?
Thank you
