We had an interview with MTL and they asked for police report from another country at which my wife lived after 16 yrs of age and proof that she was living in canada as she visited quite a few times to US. Once Canadian Custom did not stamp her passport. So we have collected the evidence and going to fedex with police report and passport.

They already kept the return envelope and took the finger prints and said when they will receive these requested doc they will review and issue visa.

The question is do any body know noramlly once requested documents submitted after interview how much time it takes to complete review and issue visa? We really can't wait months and hoping it will be within a week. is that a good assumption. Anybody any experience one plz help

It will probably take more than a week. I've read some people getting their visas in a few weeks, and some wait over a month.

From what I've seen from other people's experiences, Montreal is really slow with this kind of stuff. Recently I've seen it take up to 2 months to finish this kind of thing, there have been some faster. Hopefully that doesn't happen to you!

If you haven't already, take a look at This thread

According to the experiences here, it seems to be taking around 10-12 weeks for most people. Some are a little quicker, some are a little longer. Unfortunately there have been some issues with Montreal's mail room. It takes them forever to receive and process mail. So even if you send it tomorrow, it could be a month before someone opens it and it gets to the right people.

Sorry for the doom and gloom response. It could be quicker, you never know when they'll suddenly get their act together and things will speed up. Good luck!
