Hi:
I have a question regarding to the immigrant investor program.
If I have the CSQ and my docs has been submitted to Canada Federal. in July 15, 2016. How long does it take to have the immigrant visa which issued by Federal?
Last time, it is normally taken 6 – 12 months to complete this process. However, I read on the internet (CIC website) it will be taken 40 months. Can you please share with me which one is the correct time line?
Thank you so much for your prompt reply.
Best Regards,

Hi, this is Mrs Maribel S. Dimayuga from the Philippines, i dont know if this is the right office to ask about my and my daughter’s visa stamping. I was asked to submit our passport last june and we submitted it june 7,2016 in Vfs Global. My husband in Toronto Canada received his PR card last july 6,2016.

Thank you very much and im fervently praying we be granted our visa as soon as possible.
