I submitted my online application on Feb 12th but dint hear anything yet. You have to send your passport and other documents (if asked) only when they ask you to send. (as per their instruction they mentioned while submitting my application) Link to comment

Aarav27 Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 I applied online to Canada TRV on Feb 12th and got a message from CIC today on March 13th to submit the passport. Link to comment
aratishr Posted March 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Also, after sending the passport to the Canadian Consulate in NY after receiving the approval for Canada visa that was submitted online, how long do they take to send the passport back? Do they ask for any documents even after receiving approval for the application that was submitted online? Thank you for your response. Link to comment
mattah Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 rt_shr: If it is approved, they will not ask any docs i guess. For me they did not ask anything other than passport. After approval , we need to send the following:- 1. Approval letter (It will be available in CIC as Pdf) 2. Passport 3. Return envlope (If no return envolope provided, they ll send ur passport back by First Class USPS) How long it will take to get the passport back? I sent them the passport and it reached the CIC on March 12. I am still waiting to get the passport back. Link to comment

mattah Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Hi Sharma, Sure, i will update once i received the passport. Initially thought i would take a week to get the passport back. But already one week passed (mine reached NY CIC on Feb 12th). Still counting the days... 1..2...3..4...5...6...7..etc... PS: I have booked the visa stamping on Apr 8th. So little bit tensed here. Thanks, Anand. Link to comment

mattah Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 @Sharma.. Yes, i am also hoping the same. I don't know why the hell they are taking so much time and making us tensed at the last moment. Now i am thinking that i should have applied TRV in mail instead of online :( Link to comment

ROWENA Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 Hi to all, I am also in the same situation of applying for Canadian Visitor Visa. Should I schedule first my interview and pay necessary fees at the US Consulate in Toronto before I send online application to Canadian Embassy in NYC? Do I need to send copy of confirmation of my Visa Stamping appointment together with my application package to Canadian Embassy? This is not mentioned in the website. Should I indicate US Visa Stamping as purpose of my temporary visit to Canada? Thanks in advance. Appreciate any help. Good luck to all. Link to comment
mattah Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 @ROWENA -- Should I schedule first my interview and pay necessary fees at the US Consulate in Toronto before I send online application to Canadian Embassy in NYC? - Not necessary. You can even book the appointment after getting the TRV Do I need to send copy of confirmation of my Visa Stamping appointment together with my application package to Canadian Embassy? This is not mentioned in the website. -No not needed. Should I indicate US Visa Stamping as purpose of my temporary visit to Canada? - Yes. You can. Even you can mention as tourist. There is no hard and fast rule that you need to mention stamping as purpose. Either you can mention purpose as stamping or you no need to mention the reason as stamping. Link to comment
