How long is the visa issued for?
I know before it was 6 months or when medical expires (whichever one that comes first) .
But it seems it's changed now, so for those who have received, how many months/weeks where you given.

Found out yesterday too that AVO closes 1pm Friday , I just smh. My husband and I went to their office and the head security said they were closed for the day. We got there 1.30pm

From what I gathered, it's either the expiration date of your medicals or the expiration date of your passport, whichever comes first. In my case, we did medicals on nov 6th 2016, so our visa expires on November 6th 2017. Funny cuz we only got our passport back today and have to rush and get ready to depart for Canada by the 6th of Nov.

Went to find out about our app on Wednesday.
Of course they were not going straight to the point why so much delay, but was asked to submit supporting documents. Which we did together with letter and dropped it yesterday though We couldn't see anyone since they were closed for the day when we got there but the head security took it and said they will look at it on Monday.

Fingers crossed, I'm not expecting any sentiment, our minds are already set for 12momths.

Thought I heard they do not let anyone without an appointment in the building. ...

I hope you're leaving before 6th and not on 6th lol. The latest date you can land in 6th November.

When my brother came, it was 6 months visa or before medical expires.
This was 7 years ago. You may be right but I don't think passport expiration at all. And hope u will leave before November 6th

If you still have the medical receipt that contains your UCI and other relevant info for your application, you should send it to AVO with the other documents. If you have already mailed in your passport and the other documents, you can scan the receipt and email AVO with your details.

@Pake, I think there is nothing you have to confuse this is a passport request you have been waiting for since you send in your application congratulation! I think what Ugoswife is telling you is what you have to do asap. You can email them in case you don't have the receipt that you have done your medical valid until Jan 2018 and pls send in the passport fast cos we are also happy here when we see good news like that everyday.

@Ugoswife @bbccanada thank you both so much.yes we have the receipt of the exam we will just include it in our package. I Will let u know about the rest.
