Graham Seal yes, that part I understood. Where I am confused is that once your first stamped entering and starting the 60 days, I thought you could exit and re-enter within that 60 days your visa was stamped for. I didn’t know it could be done over 6 months.
my understanding has always been that the METV is a 60 day visa. It’s valid to be used for 6 months but, is only active for 60 days. So, you can apply for it and receive it and use it up to 6 months later but then your 60 days starts when you’ve used it at entry and it’s stamped. From what is being said, it’s valid to be stamped and re-stamped on re-entry for the 6 month period from when it was issued. That doesn’t sound correct to me and is not how I’ve always understood it to work but, I may have misunderstood all along
I’ve never submitted in Ottawa so I have no experience there. The longest I’ve waited in Vancouver was about 5 days and that was in the Thai Pass days. I’m not surprised. Literally nothing in Ottawa is faster or more efficient
My understanding has always been that it’s good for C days after it’s stamped. So 60 for example and is effectively used once the stamped days are used.
You’re saying that they can effectively stamp it for more days upon re-entry till 6 months from when it was issued?
