Ottawa was all right this year METV in just 7 days. Last year was a bit difficult in 35 days.

I had the same issue. They knew my flight date and told me they would issue my visa in time. On the 35th day I called them and asked if my visa will be issued as I flew in the next 48 hours. The Russian women told me word for word “not a chance” then 3 hours later it was sent to me via email.

for next will consider it, with dentist work needed.

Much cheaper for 5 years than paying the $325 for METV and all the extentions for 6months stay

If you can plan in advance that far yes, when the consulate was in Toronto the processing time was 24 hours so I had assumed 3-4 weeks was enough time to process. I was wrong, DTV in record time though.

Ottawa had been a total nightmare in the past for METV basic tourist visa. For the DTV I was approved in 6 days and asked for no further documents just submitted and then approved
