Request for passports for visa stamp

[bostonkelly]

Received letter dated 16 Feb '07 from High Commission requesting passports for issue of visa. Have several questions and would welcome feedback.

1.) Have made plans to travel to Canada from 5-27 March. Do I need to inform High Commission of my plans?

2.) How long will it take the High Commission to return my passports with visa?

3.) Does it make any difference in return time if I post my passport or hand deliver on day of week they note they are ope to receive passports?

Any feedback would be greatly welcomed. Just to note, London office seems to be having a quick turn around from date medical is taken to date request for passports for visa issues as I had medical only on the 19th of January 07.

Good luck to everyone.

Hi! I applied back in April 2004, received my B# back in mid June 2004. I was called to take my medicals the very end of October 2006.

Do you have friend or family in Canada? I would suggest if you do that you get them to send the name of there local MP and contact MP to have them chase up your application. I did this back in Sept 06 and was surprised how by October I was called to take my medicals. Just a bit of advice.....

Good luck with your application. It seems like ages since I applied that I'm finding it hard to imagine that within a short time I will have my visa.....

No need to send them your plan for travel. But I even ask you not to make any travel plan until you get back you passport. Normally it takes 30 days so far I have heard but I am not sure, when i submitted my passport they told me that it takes maximum 6 week to get passport back and I am waiting for my passport. I have submitted my passport to Dhaka high comission who will send it to Singapore.

Hope you have little idea after this

1.  No.
2.  Maybe a month if you mail it.  Maybe the same day if you personally go to the visa office.
3.  Yes.
