@Steve ******

but my close friends family are Canadians returning home to Canada but got refused to board the plane ..

@Dale ********

I don't know much more than this..but even Canadians like is going back to Canada with less than 6.monyhs on the pp gets declined to board the plane

Really? I thought it is universal that it is already 6.montha valid because I know even airlines check the validity of the pp

that's what pulled me here..i love the humour and i get to laugh a lot! If you can't take it, then leave it!

We keep a small condo unit in Ontario where we keep our stuff esp those with sentimental values to me (clothes , bags, shoes, antique home shoes, etc) that I couldn't bring here..we came with 2 luggages each and furnished our rental house from here..

did you go to the office in Scarborough? All I know is everything's done there fingerprinting and medical..that's where you pay too..as far as I onow

Never wait for the last day to renew.

We got ours without an agent..just get all your docs required in order..

Kuala Lumpur but needs online appt..also there is no docs list online to help you prepare ..we got surprised when we went to our appt day to apply for 2 months visa and found out that there are forms to fill up and a list of docs

They won't give you the form at the embassy , only the photo studio when you take the passport photo has them ..but how are you going to get the required docs when your appt is on that day and you only have a few days to stay? So we scrapped the idea left the embassy and just came back on a 30 day exempt and went to the immig to get the 30days and later run to Laos border for another 30 days.no head ache no requirement

@Mosameem ***

that's the one in Scarborough..of course it will be because it's international procedure
