I'm sure it's your visa, waise. No worries there, it must be with Gerry's or on its way.

Yep, I confirmed a seat for September 2 through my travel agent, and cancelled the other bookings. PIA, direct flight to Toronto, will buy a West Jet ticket to Vancouver.

Owais, I basically just let my agent handle the tickets (Al-Taqi Travels in Blue Area, Islamabad), but my guess is that the bookings were sent in to the airlines as requests and the confirmation for September 2 has only come in recently. So it was always going to be a risky process, but I was prepared to lose a bit of money to get to Canada on time. Al-Taqi Travels is super-reliable and they've always gotten me flights in the past.

BeautifulSoul, that's a pretty decent timeline ... I think you can expect the visa by the end of August or beginning of September for sure.

J, thanks for your kind words -- I hope your second application goes better. If you want, I can send you the letter I wrote to the CHC after my visit visa was refused to help you respond to them (I most definitely encourage you to send them a politely-worded but firm response that so that they know that their refusal decision was not a very good one).
