I am writing this letter to find help from you guys. I submitted my passport for visa stamp through VAC in London on 30th July. At first, I thought the process only takes 1,2 days but I found out on the internet that people shares that it usually takes 2 weeks for visa stamping.

Unfortunately, I booked my flight and it will take place on 7th August. Now I am really scared that the passport can not make it on time. I am still a student who do not have much money so I did not buy insurance for it. The flight ticket is a lot money to me.
Please help me to find out ways to speed up the process. The whole visa process costs me a lot of money ( visa and biometric fee , flight tickets to go to Poland VAC and couriers and passport transmission fees ). The whole process costs me nearly 800 euro. Now I am so desperate because my plan is about to crumble and I will be broke if I have to buy a new flight ticket. Please help me.
 
Unfortunately there's nothing you can do to speed up processing. All you can do is wait and hope for the best. We never recommend booking the flight until you have an approved visa. Good luck - hope you hear something soon.

:(( . that is my bad when booked the ticket but CIC required me to upload the ticket for them in the visa process. Now it turns out to be like this. I am really f***ed up with this visa process. So ridiculous and costly

All you needed to do was provide a planned itinerary - not an actual purchased flight. Anyway - nothing you can do now. Good luck - hope you have an answer very soon.

Good news that I have just received the tracking number from VAC. That means my visa is already stamped. It will arrive at my place on Monday. Thank for your advice,scylla.

Best regards
 
That's great news.
