any pros or cons for using an NRE account? Like if we don't go to canada (god forbid), when the cash is sent back from Scotia bank, will it remain as NRE cash itself or get converted to local cash ...anything of that sort?

amount is refunded to same account from which it came and in the form in which it came. (scotia bank and your bank take care of this.)

Hi All,

I just saw this thread as I was searching for the same query. To further elaborate, if anyone can help

I am staying in UAE since last 7 years and I have an NRE account in ICICI. I have to get GIC for canada study permit. I am planning from Scotia bank. So Can I transfer the funds to scotia bank using my NRE account from Dubai or I need to visit India for this.

Kindly help.
Thanks,
Abhijeet

Are You Sure , I guess processing time is incorrect , here atleast i have given biometric
Hi Karanveer,

I just want to know after how many days of your visa application you gave your biometrics. As I am also planning to submit my file here atleast I can give biometrics but not in India. Covid 19 situation is getting worse so that is why I am thinking of it. Please let me know. Thank you in advance. Btw what is your status of visa. Did you receive it.

Within two days of submission you will receive Biometric letter , and can give biometrics with next available appointment.
Further my file is still in process , cant say when it will be get visa. Also my college needs to be on DLI Covid list for Visa to process further.
