Hey,
I've emailed CIC but they have not responded and I need an answer as soon as possible, so hopefully you can help me out.
Here's the deal, I am currently a student here in Canada, and recently renewed my Student Permit (took 15 days). Later, end of last month, I started processing my Temporary Residency Visa because of a trip I need to make outside of Canada next week (24 April, 2014). Today, I got an email saying to send in my passport to complete the process, I was not expecting this since the Student Permit came in an envelope. This would not be a problem normally, but I need to know when I would get my passport back!
I called the help desk number on CIC website and all they said is they don't know the processing time but that CIC would be closed starting tomorrow until Tuesday for holiday, so they highly doubt it would come back on time, and then suggested that I email CIC (which I did right away and haven't heard back). She also said that I could leave the country and have it sent there (I would express it overnight and include the package to express it back). I'm a bit iffy about this suggestion though, and I did ask it in the email.
Any idea what would happen if I express it tomorrow (even if its not through Canada Post)? Is it even possible to send it from outside of Canada and receive it again outside of Canada?
Thanks for the help.
