Thank you, I put the picture for attention 🙂 I can remove it if you like.

Mine took over two months to process after application, a few months ago, but now they are advertising thirty days, so... food for thought. Also, as mentioned above it “technically” is still a tourist visa even though it is called a PE privileged entry visa. This has some downsides, like some provinces won’t let you get 5 year licenses, but also some upsides like the tax refund on purchases if you leave again in 60 days.

@Tod ********

ok thank you

@Wayne *******

i’m letting you know what the current status is

@Wayne *******

I was told a month turn around time by a rep just a few days ago

Jeremy Ashton Your school will give you a letter that you can take to immigration and then immigration will stamp a cancellation into your passport and then you can stay through the date of that original visa

You don’t have to leave the country unless you don’t have enough time left on your current visa for the processing of the elite Visa. You will however have to cancel your ED Visa.

The cost to fly there is high right now, so i ruled it out. Mothers day or something..

I do appreciate your advice though

@Robert ******

You can ignore me :) others will chime in
