My experience with the process
Hi Guys,
All of you have been extremely helpful, and I wanted to add my experience here.
October 23rd - Applied for visa online for a business trip to Canada
October 30th - Received request to send out passport
November 23rd - Sent passport after 3 weeks due to being out of the country
November 23rd to December 10th - No update on visa, I had no idea where my passport was (UPS did confirm they dropped it at right location). Sent multiple emails to info.canny and feedback emails with no response. Called up the helpdesk which was useless (talking to a broken record)
December 11th - Finally saw some updates, got my tracking ID and also my passport number was updated on the cic portal
December 12th - Decision Envelope dispatched
December 13th - Envelope received by NY VAC and mailed
December 14th - Received my overnight UPS return envelope with passport at 9:50 am
I already missed my business trip as it was support to be on 10th December.
I have to say that out of the 20 visas I have on my passport this was the most cumbersome , frustrating and time taking.
I will suggest either you go in person or go via a 3rd party agent who can follow up in person at VAC
Hopefully this is more transient and VFS is able to catch up to the influx of applications but I am happy I dont have to deal with this again for a while!
