Hey fam!
I am posting a final timeline for people who are still in doubt about the passport/visa processing time. Hopefully it clear your doubts.

16 sep- I filled in wrong application for TRV, IMM 5707. (DO NOT FILL THIS FORM)

17 sep- I received an email saying my application has been submitted.

12 oct- I dont see any update so I researched an little about the correct form I was supposed to fill. All THANKS to the wonderful people on this thread who told me I submitted the wrong application

13 oct- I withdrew IMM 5707 and submitted IMM 5257

14 oct- My application was sucessfull.

16 oct- My visa got approved.

17 oct- I sent my passport from Toronto to Ottawa in express post. It literally took 1 business day to reach.

18 oct- Tracking showed my passport reached office and was collected.

26 oct- Return tracking was activated

29 oct- Passport reached my house in Toronto

I hope all of you get your visas as soon as possible. I know it is a very frustrating time but all you can do is be positive. If you think that you have filled in a wrong application, I suggest filling in a new one as soon ad possible.

Once again thank you for all the help!
Congratulations @Mrd3m0n !!!

Hi,

This is little urgent. I found out some mistakes in the form submitted so I want to check if I can withdraw my application or if I can edit it.
Can you please let me know the complete process of withdrawing?

It will be very helpful.

What about (From To) dates in question 7. I'm asking because I entered the dates of my work permit there :(

Hi Sneha,

I found some mistakes in my application form submitted which is why it took longer than usual. I would recommend you to check your form again.

Hey Pallivika,
Your Fiance applied for his TRV inside Canada in July? he didn't get his visa yet? that is strange. I am sorry i know what position you guys must be in
Usually people wait till they get their visa and then leave Canada- that's practically good thing to do.

If your fiance applied in July - he should call the CIC agent and ask what is up with his application.
