Hello Experts..

I am an indian Living in US Florida and on H1B currently. I applied for Canada visitor Visa and got the confirmation for submitting passport.

By mistake I sent all the documents to Philadelphia lockbox address instead of New YORK.

Please suggest what should I do as I am do not know the number of Philadelphia address and my USPS tracking says it is delivered to WELLS FARGO PA 19178

Please let me know I am worried as my passport is there

Online application for Manila VO this month: took 10 calendar days processing
And then it will take 3-5 business days upon submission at VFS Manila for the passport to be returned.
Oh, today is the 10th day since i lodged the application. I hope to get an update, and hopefully a positive one. :)

My application has been with the status: passport received, application under consideration for a week. Any thoughts on how long to get the final answer? It's been 15 days since I applied for a TRV
I will really appreciate any thoughts,
Thank you :)

Hi all,
I applied for TRV using IMM5257 inside Canada on 31st March, 2016.
Yet no reply. I have a valid study permit till 2018. I am wondering if anyone went through similar situation while applying TRV inside CANADA.

Hi,

I am applying for visit visa extension of my parents. I am making a joint application where my father is principal applicant. While uploading forms and documents in place holder on CIC GC Key website under my father section, I do get place holder to put his digital photo. However ,I dont have any place holder for my mother digital photo.

Is it some thing normal or I did any mistake.

Please guide
