    COPR arrive with the Passport. It did take 5 days for us, It actually arrived late Weds but she could could only make it Thursday morning. If it is delayed sadly it is useless to call or chat with VFS but I would think you will get it well before you need it.

    EVA/Air Canada is the best right now at $625 one way. They start creeping up after the 14th but I think they will jump when the black Friday seat sales end.

    There are not any seminars, the pre-arrival services are optional. Last step after the passport is the GCP/PDOS, my wife completed her GCP already and just needs to get her sticker and she can fly anytime.
