Don't ever try to drop your passport wait till your USA embassy interview unless it's not urgent, then you can reschedule your US interview and submit your passport to Canada embassy. You have up to one month to submit your passport. If I were you, I will shift my U.S interview and drop passport for Canada stamp.

Thank you.

Hello house. Just thought I should share this information. My wife's visa was approved last month September. I decided to get the GCMS like I did the last time to see the steps leading the final decision. I found this in the notes:

Travelling with spouse and child,child born in USA,purpose:tourism,some activites on itinerary are inappropiate for a 1 year old(i.e.CN Tower Edge Walk),travel his:UAE,USA,Singapore with family,attached personal and husbands banks statement,funds:CAD but not available in personal bank statement,booking.com confirmed,flight receipts for whole family included.

I believe the above were the initial notes by the first reviewer. The notes from the final reviewer is missing as this review is negative but the outcome was positive thanks to God.

Reading this made me wonder about the first reviewer. It is obvious that the CN Tower walk is for adults. The child can be with one parent while the other partakes in the tower walk. I didn't think it would make sense to start explaining how we intend to handle parent duty rotation for such a short visit.

Funds not available in personal accounts(current & savings) really got me wondering because I always held that proof of funds extends beyond that. The reviewer probably felt the funds should have been liquidated to reflect in the account instead of leaving it in mutual funds.

Abeg my people una dey see this thing the way I see am too? Omobendel24.

Yeah, I'm in sync with the VO's note and your deductions therefrom though I've somehow not believed funds not readily available in your personal account is good for visa application especially funds in business/corporate accounts.

Oh, you mean too that you made payment for the flight tickets for the family before applying?

@mim1031
Since you sent message to CIC you don't have to worry they will answer you soon ....how many days application now

Your observations are duly noted. We didn't pay for a flight. We asked a flight booking agent to prepare a flight itinerary for us.

I posted in the giving birth in canada thread that I was deducted $198cad by the hotel on the same day we got the approval. Probably what the VO meant by booking.com confirmed . The hotel has refunded the money though because we canceled and replaced with another booking due to change of date of our trip.

Now 57 days , I applied from the UK and processing should be 53 days from here

@mim1031
Don't not worry you already sent message to them by next week anything can happen just have faith BVL and PPR will come at the same day

Good day, please has anyone travelled recently and were you stamped in with an exact date that you had to leave written on your passport?

Is it normal for my review not to have started after 40days?

Online application submitted on the 22nd Sept.

I don’t have an email about commencement of eligibility either but when I log into the system I see that eligibility has started

Are you sure they send emails about this?

@Jj17cv and others.

My online application which was submitted on the 22nd September only has UAE as my travel history and an unused valid UK visa. However, after submission, I did a trip to the UK for 10days in the month of October.

It is necessary send a mail to them and attached the stamped visa, passport, boarding pass and other information to show additional travel history.

If yes, how do I get there contact mail?

I don’t think it’s important to send any boarding pass showing you travelled to the Uk because when you were applying you obviously added scanned copy of visas on your passport so they can already see that there is a valid UK visa in your passport. That’s just my own view though

It hasn’t even started in my case, got me wondering if it’s going to take 74days.
Truthfully, I’m starting to loose hope, just trying to stay positive too

Angie32:

@Angie32 lol, I dunno whether to say it's great oo, as my siblings graduation has been done and dusted.
Am just positive.

I really dunno how you guys know the location that is processing the visa, I only read here that London processes online applications, no proof on my profile, please how can I check?
