Hi jesuscaresjesuscares said:hello ultra99. After undergoing two applications ( i.e a temporary resident visa for a family member and a study permit for myself) I can assure you that once you send in your passport after the original passport request was sent to you by CIC you will receive a visa stamped passport. Also take heed from ms.mech, if you haven't submitted your passport within 30 days of your receipt of the letter, your visa application will be refused!
