Sorry to hear this. How about you reach out to BLS directly, and see if they can sort out this inconsistency? It's BLS responsibility as well to ensure biographical data is accurate.

Hello, has ANYONE here, upon receiving their OCI, applied for a Special Work Permit online - which is required for purposes such as undertaking research or working at a foreign diplomatic mission in India? My question is: how long did it take to obtain this Special Work Permission (which...

Congratulations!! That gives me hope.

I'm no expert, but as per most recent stats, my wild guess is that it's unlikely. I hope that I'm wrong.

Hello, could you please share the link for the Vancouver spreadsheet?

No, they won't. Even if they get to your file after the proposed reason and date of travel has passed - your application will NOT be rejected solely because of that.

I have a multi-entry Visa. Sorry, I should have clarified.

So, I ended up visiting various Canadian cities for a total of 5 and a half months from late August 2018 till January of this year - due to too many reunions after 6 years**. I have been back in my home country: India for 3 months now. My girlfriend and I got back together and I am now...

Hi @Saratkum, the whole process took me a week. I mailed the passport to VFS, they took a day or so to forward it to the Embassy, which upon visa stamping, sent it back to the VFS, who took another day to forward it to DX Delivery -> who did signature-delivery it to my residence before 8:00 am...

Hi @Saratkum, I can confirm for you that throughout the processing period of 54 days, the application status always indicated that the 'review for eligibility' was pending/not yet started, and it went straight to the final decision; so, there were no updates at all in between. @natl and others...

Application approved today after 54 days. @Lucy87, could you please advise how long they took to send the passport back to you? @HK198433, did you hear back anything?

Hi @HK198433, any updates on your application yet?

Yay!!! Congratulations! So happy for you. Just to confirm, they never even updated your 'review for eligibility' status, and it went straight to a final decision?? Once you get back your passport, do us a favour & let us know, how long the is visa valid for! Cheers!!

Not even close. And, I don't see a chance on mine before yours', and it should not. I still can't believe you have had to wait for this long with no movement so far. They must; the decision-making process is still got to be the same as paper applications. Did IRCC respond to your CSE for...

Hi @HK198433, any luck with the IRCC reviewing your eligibility yet? I hope you at least get to see the second wedding.

Hi @hez26, hopefully this thread can help! https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/trv-application-timelines-in-london-uk.567267/#post-7039615

Okay, I understand. Although,I'm not sure how @HK198433 would feel about 44 days as a normal processing time. But I should have sent in a paper application. Unfortunately, my purpose of visit was really limited to the wedding, as that was the truth. Just a quick follow-up: Will it be a bad idea...

No, it does not work that way. Sounds like you were only able to stay until May. They don't renew the entry while crossing the border by car.

Dear @Bryanna & @scylla: It's been 44 days for @HK198433 and 26 days for myself since we submitted online applications in UK. I understand the latest processing time as of June 24, 2018 is 27 days. Two quick questions: 1. Are these timelines normal at all? -> considering IRCC has not even been...
