URGENT URGENT - TRV Passport stuck with CPP-Ottawa office

[DK84]

I have to make an emergency visit to India sometime next week. I had originally planned my trip on 27th February 2013 from Saskatchewan and booked ticket for the same day and had sent Passport to CPP-OTTAWA office in Ontario on 29th January 2013 for TRV based on my work permit in Canada, later on I came to know that I had missing documents and probably Office would return my application back in around 10 days stating incomplete, however I took chance and sent the missing documents in next 2 days by Courier to CPP-Ottawa. Now I have to make emergency trip to India next week and I am stuck badly as I neither have my passport nor visa.

Now I am thinking to apply Multiple entry visa to Canada from India based on my work permit in Canada, Can anyone please advise what is the proedure to apply for TRV to Canada from India based on work permit and how long it takes to get Visa ? CPP-Ottawa office neither giving any updates nor returning my passport back. I left quit a few email but not genuine reply yet accept auto generated and they don't have telephone number as well.

I am sure if I send new application to CPP Office once I get my passport, they would surely take atlease 3 more weeks now.

Would it be advisable to get TRV in India in around 10 days time. ??

I would stay maximum about 10 days in India.

Please advise ...Thanks !

It's possible but you need more time. First your passport will expire in 6 months. If you apply re entry visa they will issue you up to September 2013. One month before your passport expiry. Or you can renew first your passport then apply re entry visa single entry only since they will based it in your work permit expiry. Processing time in Manila 10 working days. You need letter from employer that you will come back to work plus need to get OEC in POEA.

How to apply re entry visa:
