@Anncs did you get any update on your baby's entry visa application?

For parents applying for minors. How do you add the thumb print as the box for signature/thumb print is so small?

Thanks

Entry visa update from a friend:

Applied : 01 Nov (Toronto walk-in)
Granted and Printed: 03 Nov
Dispatched by courier: 04 Nov (tracking number available)

Well, its not really shipped, only label is created, but still.. BLS picking up passport on a Saturday from the consulate is first time in my experience.

Wow.. I thought the Sunday opening won't be widely known and lines will be short!

The whole thing is nonsense isn't it. Why do they need a smudged out thumbprint of infants -- I read somewhere that the ridge spacing in infant prints could be as small as 100 microns and it collapses very easily on compression -- one would need a high-res non-contact process to capture that.
As they did with biometrics, they should exclude at least kids under 5 from this requirement.

Just drove by the Toronto location and spoke to the nice people in line. Back of the line the people had arrived at 7:30am (now 12pm), and they are about 50 people in front of them. BLS only letting 9-10 people in per hour.

Seems like postal service entry visa process is damn slow compare to walk-ins. Sent application via Purolator on Friday Oct 27, it was delivered on Monday Oct 30, acknowledged by BLS on afternoon of Thursday November 2 after 3 days. No update since

You are in a better situation compared to me. Same timeline as yours - postal delivered to BLS on Oct 30. No update at all.
