Application in a paper form

If you make application on paper form at the embassy in Canda, the processing takes longer. At the visit, you have to bring origin passport with you, submit the application form attached with a passport photo and pay visa fee (non-refundable). When necessary, you have to answer some supplementary questions. When you visit, the embassy will normally notify you of the date for collecting the visa. Generally, the processing takes 05 business days since the receipt of complete required documents.

You can submit the application in person or by post at your convenience. If applying by post, you must enclose a self-addressed envelope to receive the passport back by post.
