Hey guys, I applied for my passport May 19 in person, but still hadn't heard anything back. As I'm traveling soon (Sep 22), I called the helpline and got my file transferred to my closest local office (downtown Toronto). However, I'm concerned/worried as the agent said I could receive the call...

Hello all, I'm wondering if we need to translate anything on our ID documents such as passport and identity card that appears in foreign language even if the information in foreign language is irrelevant (such as how to return a lost card etc.)? I have a Pakistani passport and ID card and both...

Hi, As a Pakistani, I have National ID Card (NIC). The front of the card that identifies me, has my picture, and has all the CIC required information from an NIC such as name, date of issue, date of expiry, is in English as well as Urdu. However, the back of the card, which has my address as...

I have listed only one job in my work history that's with my current employer in Canada with which I've been for more than a year. This is the job I'm basing my application on. Is it alright if I don't include my other work history in the work history section but include them under personal...

So should I say no to the question that asks if I have a job offer? I checked and I'm not getting any points for the "arranged employment" section of CRS anyway.

Hey everyone, I'm really confused if I have a "valid job offer" and hence if I should answer yes or no to that question. I'm on a PGWP (which is open, obviously) and I've been working for my employer for more than a year (hence applying under CEC). However, there was no LMIA issued for my job...

Not them, but I applied for TRV and the online account said it's approved so send your passport.

As per the response I received from the Ottawa Case Processing Centre, if you have the visa approval letter from CIC (it shows up in your online account once they approve your visa), you can use it to have the visa stamped at any visa office around the world. So assuming your visa gets...

Oh God, okay that solves everything lol. I was so stressed! I can finally breathe now sigh. Thank you so much!

Which country are you from if you don't mind me asking? And could you please let me know how I can find the contact info for the VAC in my country? As in did you call or email yours? And lastly, could you please also let me know whenever CPC in Ottawa replies to you? When did you email them? I...

Hey guys, Can someone please let me know if it's possible to get my passport stamped with the TRV from another visa office once it's approved within Canada? My TRV got approved but since I'm traveling out of the country soon and reading about the mailing times for others, I don't think I'd be...

Your best option is just to apply online ASAP and see what happens. It's very crazy/random at this time so noone can say how much time it'll take. Another option is to apply via the visa office of the place that you're traveling to (if that's practical given the processing time for that visa...

Hey guys, Anyone who's gotten a TRV stamped recently, could you please let me know the time it took CIC to mail back your passport after they received it (I've heard it can take up to 3 weeks?!). My TRV got approved today and they're requesting my passport, but I'm still in a tough spot since...

I FINALLY got the request for my passport today (Nov 19). I submitted my app on Oct 26. Full-disclosure, in an effort to speed up the process, I submitted the application with the electronic approval for my extended work permit that got approved on like Oct 25 or so, since I was traveling soon...

Thanks for your kind words, but I've completely lost hope on getting my passport stamped before I fly out. Even if they approve it at this point, I'm too late to send it to them and wait for them to return it before 30th Nov. I'm so frustrated they're still following these ancient processes of...

If that's true (that you can get visa stamped from whichever VAC as long as you have the approval letter), that'd be amazing and actually so convenient and finally one good/right thing that CIC would do. I'd really suggest starting a new thread for this question as it's unlikely this will get a...

I just joined this boat :( Submitted app on Oct 26. Haven't heard back anything yet. Called CIC once and enquired using the Web form twice and they all say your application is still within normal processing times even though CIC website says it's 5 days? I don't get it. I'm so damn stressed. I...

Hey Junaid, Could you please let me know which city you applied in?

Since I'm applying for the TRV on the basis of my work permit, they'll only issue it until the expiry of my work permit. Since my current one expires in Dec 2018 and I'm returning Jan 2019, I'll have to wait for the renewed work permit to apply to get the visa validity for my purpose.
