EDIT: Thanks for all the replies guys! Didn’t see the Ottawa website saying 2 months. Only saw the 3 months one when I was applying on thaievisa 😅🙏 Now, we wait for October whew

So, I applied on September 7th and just received this today (Sept 17th). I already replied them asking for more information cause I’m not entirely certain I understood 😅

So on the website, it says to apply minimum 3 months prior hence why I applied in September for my trip in December.

And this part got me the most confused: “If the visa were to be issued now, it would no longer be valid by your planned travel date.”

What do they mean by that? I thought it was valid for 5 years if approved? Can someone help me please. Thank you 🙏

(Idk if this is relevant but I’m applying from Canada for Workcation)
