Hi everyone:

I would appreciate a response to this question. I am currently on an H1B visa in the US and it expired in December. I am planning to make a trip to Canada in April to renew the visa. I am working with the same employer and it is just a standard renewal. I already have an old H1B visa stamp in my passport. I also got my new I-797 and all other documentation that I will need to do this renewal.

My questions are as follows:
1. How safe is it to go to Canada and get this renewal done? I am not a permanent resident of Canada - I am an Indian citizen with H1B visa.
2. How long would it take to get this renewal?

I would appreciate any responses. Thanks!!
 
If you have all the required papers, it's very safe.

Also, Ottawa used to return passport the same day.
