Guys,
When and how did you manage to get the appointment. I am looking for the appointment for the last month, but did not find any in Toronto Consulate.
 
Hi kumar,

Can you please tell me which is the nearest SCOTIA Bank to the consulate for depositing the Visa Application fees.

I have an appointment on Nov 16th 9AM.

I will probably reach Toronto by 15th and pay the fees so that I can be in time for the next day appointment.

Thanks in advance.
