How long did it take to get your visa in hand- Vancouver

[cee-gee 20]

I had my interview on Friday, and my visa was approved (yay!). I know I'm being ####### (as it is only Monday), but I was just wondering how long it took from the visa approval to have your visa in hand? I'm more curious about Vancouver, but am happy to hear from everyone!

Thanks!

I had my interview on a Tuesday in Van and had the visa in hand on Friday (picked it up in Richmond, BC).

I know that I only had my interview on Friday, but I'm pretty anxious. I broke the cardinal rule, I booked the uhaul for Saturday (I couldn't help myself, I was too excited). It's reassuring to hear you got yours quickly, thanks!

Three weeks - only because I had DHL mail my package to an address. I think about a week and a half if I had gone to pick it up.

When I went for my interview, they said about 3 business days, and I just received an email from loomis saying that they have my visa, but it's not ready for pickup (it's in Richmond, and will be going to Burnaby tomorrow). I am so happy right now, one step closer!

I was thinking about having DHL sending it to my house, but heard that could take longer (which sounds ridiculous to me...). I don't know if I would have been able to handle 3 weeks lol, how'd you do it?

I guess the 3 day prediction from the consulate was pretty much bang on!

Now, the big move!!
