Allowing time for official steps
Remote preparation does not remove the need to attend biometrics or other appointments when instructed. Keep the official letter and check appointment availability through the authorised channel.
Do not assume an appointment or processing estimate guarantees a decision before departure. Allow for practical travel arrangements and avoid paying for non-refundable plans based on an unconfirmed outcome.
Before contacting us from Guwahati
Have your nationality, proposed dates, travel purpose and whether a Canadian host is involved ready for the initial discussion. Ask what assistance is included and what the charges are before proceeding. Keep original documents with you unless a specific next step has been agreed.
Our document checklist explains the main record groups. The application process covers submission, official instructions and later requests.
