There is no such thing as "minimum average time". Once the passport is in, they take 2-3 days to seal it, then it goes through Canada Post.... depending where the consulate is and where you are times might vary.

Why would it be?

Because the Guy at the New York Canada Consulate office asked me did you attach USPS return label, i Said no instead attached Fex Ex Express, then he stared at me and said OK, please drop here.

I felt something not good with his expression when he said "OK DROP HERE'.

Other thing i attached with in USA return receipt, is this right or wrong, because i am not sure from where i will get Visa Stamped my passport....Is it from New York or Canada...?..

This is may be silly question but this Canada Online services made me to ask this kind of questions (I feel online services are not that user friendly & Customer Service also Pathetic )

Did you read the instructions about mailing? It would appear not.

If your mailing address is in the USA:

Include a self-addressed United States Postal Service/USPS Express Mail flat rate envelope with the correct postage stamp affixed. Metered postage is unacceptable.
Keep a record of the tracking number on the USPS Express Mail label so that you can track delivery of the envelope at www.USPS.com.
For USPS Priority Mail envelopes, you must also attach a Delivery Confirmation form with correct postage stamp affixed. Metered postage is unacceptable. (Priority Mail envelopes do not have a tracking number.)
If you do not provide an acceptable return envelope, the visa office will mail your passports and original documents via regular mail with no tracking number.

TRAVEL AUTHORITY when applyong for visa

Hi! I'm a Governement Employee here in the Philippines. Is a Travel Authority a requirement when applying for a Canadian Visa? Or it's juta needed when I'm about to leave the country. Because when I went to Beijing and applied for a Chinese Visa, no travel authority was needed when i applied for the visa. Please help me. Thanks!

Hello Guys,
I have applied Visitor visa on 28th Jan 2014.
Today is 3rd March 2014, but my application status is still on open (Received Application).
I am not sure why its taking so much time to process my visa application.
I received email from CIC twice stating that my application is updated, but I don't see any progress in my application.

Anyone with same case like this??

Hi every
Please any one tell me what is the different b/t multiple enty visa or visitor visa.which one is easy to get .single enty visa or multiplw entry visa .
I live in canada since july 2012 as a PR rite now I want to apply visit visa for my parents.

 

[zhuyanfei]

I submitted my application online on January 17. (F1 student in the U.S.)
Also got two emails notifying about the "updates," one soon after the submission and the other about a week later, but nothing changed in MyCIC either time.
It still shows "OPEN" after nearly two months.
Absolutely horrid and incompetent.
