L1A Stamping in Canada 2014
My experience is very old and long. But I still want to share my 1-2 weeks of experience before and after visa.
My company decided to renew my L1A at Ottawa Canada. Some of the issues I faced in US for US visa were-
Taking a Pic which as per US Visa Guidelines and same for Canada Visa also. No one is aware of the procedure and Somehow the photographer inside the Walmart was kind enough to understand my requirement to take adjusted took pic which fits US passport which is closely matched with US visa requirement.
A week before travel, I had a knife cut on the index finger. Though I had applied some basic first aid to the wound it was visible and open. I traveled to Canada with the wound. On the day of interview, In the first counter where documents were sorted and finger prints taken. He gave a stare at his monitor and asked me- "Whats there on your finger"?
I said- It is a knife cut.
He gave closer look (stood from his seat and came closer). Looks like your index finger mark is not appearing well. So you may need to come back once it is completely healed. and gave a yellow/pink slip (dont remember)
I was confused with the explanation of "Completely healed".. I have to wait till the skin come over and marks. I went to nearest pharmacy and showed the wound and said about my requirement. The parmaist opinion after scrutiny of the wound. The cut is quite deep and it may take about a month for "completely healed".
My company wont wait or bear cost for a month stay hotel :) He recommended a gel and a medicine which will close the cut in a week time. The travel got extended for a week and as promised by pharmacist, the wound got little better (but was still visible). I went for the interview. This time he accepted. The guy in the counter identified me and said, "I guess you are fine now". Issued token and was waiting for my turn.
Me: Good Morning
VO: Good Morning, (he saw my pink/yellow slip). Why was this issued?
Me: I had a finger cut which was not healed.
VO: He gave a smile. How did that happen?
Me: (with a smile).. At the kitchen while cutting veggies
VO:(contd smile).. Thats funny... (going through my docs).. "Where are you working"
Me: XX company
VO: Your salary and tenure
ME: $ZZZ. and 10 years.
VO: Your Visa is approved...
All those crazy things happened around me ended well :) I still have the mark of the wound in my index finger. :)
