There are lots of good advises on TRV on the forums. I think Hassan had some really good ones few pages ago. I remember getting confident about doing it myself by reading the forums back when I was still thinking about doing a TRV.
Two points of importance was:
-show lots of ties back home that will require you to return back home
-don't apply for a long stay/visit
went thru TRV forum, but family class forums are well organized more

TRV forum scattered, like no major forum is there

anyway im trying myself

ImABule: I know what you mean. I'm checking our emails like 10+ times a day including the spam folder. Unless they email to some other addresses we never mention to them like Island guy. But DM before PPR isn't unheard of...Canada Day and coming holidays ahead doesn't help.
Jupiter: We didn't do TRV. I don't know about any agencies. I would assume the online application would be easy enough to do by yourself. Btw, the malware issue might just be on your end.
Irfan: you might wanna get your pictures done before Eid if and when PPR comes, you don't want any delays. Apparently, the photo studios will go on holidays for Eid.
Great Point Bro BonManush. Any idea about photo specification? 35/45?
