Hi Vault,
I had submitted my Passport and it is reached in CIC Buffalo on July 31st, 2003 and it is 11 days is over. How many days usually takes to get it back? Is it 2 Weeks or 10 days? I had sent by FedEx with Return envlope
Normally it is 2 weeks. In other words it is 10 working days.
I have a plan to go to India and back as soon as I land in Canada. And also I want to come back in a month time (probably early Oct 2003). I am not planning to wait for PR to come in. Is it okay to travel from India to Canada with same Landing paper? I have read some where, Landing papers are good for travel till Dec 31st, 2003. Or do I need to have a separate travel doc from Canadian embassy in India? If it is yes, how long it takes?
Once you land, your landing paper will be stamped with Not valid for travel stamp, and if you plan on landing directly from India, the Airlines will not allow you to board or complete the journey. In case if you decide to go this route, you will have to get a travel document/one way visa to enter. I am not sure of the processing time by the Canadian Consulat ein New Delhi.
I would like to suggest that you wait for your landing papers and your passport to arrive, and check the expiration date. If you will be coming back from your trip abroad before the expiration date, then land in Canada directly from Abroad. When you land, make sure you have proof of funds, and a list of goods to follow.
I have applied for myself and family. Do I get different landing papers each one of us or just a single doc which include everyone?
each person will have their own landing paper.
Pls reply me as soon as u can, it would be really appreciated.
Thanx & Regrds
