7 1/2 months

Done with the application process already. Preparing for departure, most probably in early June.

Just be a little more patient. You can estimate about 1-2 months tops for every step to be accomplished by Embassy. Sometimes delay originates from the courier service too From the time we submitted to Embassy our documents up to the visa issuance, it took only about 6 months (this includes...

Give it about 1-2 months, they might be asking for your passport already! Good luck!

Let me clarify: You were the one holding your money when you landed. I presumed total money you brought in was equivalent to the total amount required for 4 members, say about CAD$20,000+? Or was it about only the amount required for 1 person, about CAD$10,000+? And immigration did not ask...

We did receive our passports already with the visas stamped in it last 10 Feb. Yup, the letter did not say any about visa stamping. It just said they needed to receive original passports to further the processing....blah blah... Nonetheless, I positively read between the lines and assumed...

As far as I know, any thing is still tentative unless you have the visa in your hands. Passports should be valid and not expiring soon, details on passport should be the same as the fill out forms submitted, etc. I think this is the reason Embassy always reminds us not to prepare yet for...

Passports returned already last 10 Feb with expiry on 29 Sept. We're good to go! My passport expires in Jan 2010. Will have to leave at least 6 months before it expires. Cannot maximize our stay, have to leave by June-July this year.

Since the topic is on fund requirements... would you have an idea if immigation really checks the amount you will be bringing in is the amount they are requiring? In our case, 2 adults, 2 kids, based on website, we should be bringing in about CAD$19,700 (estimate?). What if funds brought in did...
