Hello all,

I see the processing times are really long at the moment (on the website they say they are processing the demands received 31st of December). I was just wondering what about flagpole ?? Is there a benefit on doing it online ??
Thanks

Potentially, but wondering why there are not more people doing it. Is there an issue with that?
Also was wondering if it is better to go to United States (I am from visa-exempt country) for 1 or 2 days and then come back to Canada.

for those who exceeds the processing time:
