Subject: When do I have to land in Canada after visa stamp?
  I was asked get my visa stamped in my PP in Candadian Consulated in New York before 25th of Sep 2006. If I get stamping by end of July 2006, when do I have to land in Canada? What is my dead line would be?

I´m thinking of landing in Canada during weekend of Christmas 2006.

Is it possible?

Thanks in advance.

Yes you can because your landed visa will be valid one year from the date you did your medical examination.

when you get your visa it will say how long you have to land. like gold visa has already said - that is totally controlled by the anniversary of your medical exam.

Thanks a lot for your prompt response.

Applied : Third Week of March 2005.

Medical Done : Third week of March 2006.

Visa stamping dead line: Third week of Sep 2006.

Landing dead line : Third week of March 2007.

Is this correct?


Thanks,

oh! Forgot to ask you this..

I´m the princepal applicant, my family cannot get visa stamped with me. But they can, before the stamping date deadline.

Can I get my visa stamping without my family now? And can my family get their visa stamped after 50 days (before stamping date deadline)?

as long as the principle applicant has landed first, the rest of the family can follow.

caveat - must fall within deadline provided from CIC. They will verify your landing window but based on what you are saying - March 07 seams correct.

Leaving the passport for stamping (in reply to: When do I have to land in Canada after visa stamp?)
Location: New York.
Date: 19-Jul-2006
Letter says,

You should bring the passport in the morning on Thursdays from 8:30am to 10:30am and the passport may pick-up "THE FOLLOWING THURSDAY" between from 1:30 to 3:00PM.

I hate this, I´ve to go to New York city for this twice!

My friend who went there like 6 months ago said, he got his passport on the same day with 2 hrs.

Did anyone have recent (July 2006) experience on this ?

How desperate!!! (in reply to: When do I have to land in Canada after visa stamp?)
I understand the thirst behind this immigration.

I would like to know any one who had been there to New York City (not Buffalo) for stamping?

Thanks.

Hey Hdotcom and others,

I am assuming you applied from the USA, right? Did you apply in Buffalo?

I applied there and they started processing my application in August 2005. Am I right to be expecting an approval within the next couple of months or it´s too soon?

thanks

I been to NYC and back... They returned passport eactly one after I submitted it. I was living close to the city so it was fun going into the city and grab some arab food near the Canadian consulate. I also found Ethiopian food (rare to find it outside the City) and was glad to wander around Manhattan and check out hot chicks... So many chicks there were so damn hot it was sweaty!
