Hello!

I understand from the comments that it takes up to 5 or even 6 weeks but does anyone know on what basis do visas get stamped? Is it first come first serve? Also, does it matter if you've lived there before and have had a Canadian visa issued in the past? I mean would that speed up the process, if anyone's aware? or is that redundant

PS: thank you to those who helped me with my previous queries. I was away for nearly 10 days and didn't get a chance to log on to read any of the messages or say thank you. So, Thank you.

I know of a woman who also went and got hers stamped because she gave them proof on how badly it was needed and also the 4 weeks time frame has elapse.

Did you get any receipt for submission of PPs or got any date for pickup.

I also submitted and they told me to check after 4/5 weeks....is it normal?
