Has anyone from Canada applied for the DTV?
Answer summary
Several Canadians shared their experiences applying for the DTV visa across different locations in Canada. Common themes include quick approval times, with many applicants receiving their visas within 24 to 48 hours. A few noted additional document requests from immigration offices, such as bank statements or letters of explanation. There were also instances of application denials due to minor errors in application details. Overall, Vancouver and Ottawa were mentioned as efficient offices for processing these applications.

Yes from Ottawa. I provided a cover letter explaining my work, a letter from a college and clients, bank balance and client payments. They asked for my taxes showing my company name. Approved 2 days later.

48 hours approval in Vancouver. One of the best embassy to apply from.

I'm in Toronto and applied through Ottawa. I had everything in order and after a week they asked for one more document: a letter from my bank showing that I had money in my account. The visa was then issued 2 days later. This happened 2 weeks ago.
