    Separate Landing: Does primary applicant need to be INSIDE Canada?

    Thanks guys, then I guess I'll not travel with my wife again... too expensive to travel from India just for landing! Finding jobs in Canada has been a pain as well! :(

    Separate Landing: Does primary applicant need to be INSIDE Canada?

    Thanks zardoz! This really helps in planning :) Just checking though - if anyone has done this before, could you please confirm - we are cutting it too close to the visa expiration date. Can't afford to fly out and fly in.

    By the way, I saw that you sent your passport to Ottawa for stamping from USA. Did you fedex it?! I asked them to change visa office to New York. Did fedex approve sending passport from USA to canada?

    1) Wondering... how come you are in the US if your visa is not stamped?! Typically it happens with students who just graduated, but they go back to home country and get the visa stamped. I believe it is mandatory to have a visa stamped prior to entering any country - guessing you are from India...

    Just in case anyone remembers my situation, my wife is in India and I am in US. I had initially sent CIC an email to change my VO to USA. They had asked me to send it to Canada, but due to the legality involved with sending the passport across international boundaries, I refrained. I had sent...

    Thanks for all your responses! I think the technicality might permit to send me the passport to Canada - but I'd rather not do that, considering I'm already in the US on a visa. Don't want to get into trouble with two different authorities. I will email CIC and explain them the situation, I'd...

    Don't worry about VFS if it is not mentioned in your email. VFS is a service used typically in India (and some other countries), where they want a middleman / agency to manage the work - maybe due to high volume or due to unreliability of private courier services. Thanks Vishal! I emailed the...

    Well, in that case i'll just do that math to their recommendations. 1. If height of entire photo is 70 mm 2. Chin to crown is 31 to 36 mm 3. Face is centered Therefore: distance from top to crown = Distance from bottom to chin Hence: (70-36)/2 = 17 mm (minimum).... and (70-31)/2 = 19.5mm...
