Folks - where did you get your photos taken from? I live in the US. The local Walgreens and CVS do not attest the back of the photos.

Walgreens denied it...Costco told me they cant do it as there exists no "Canada" specification in their system. CVS did it finally but hand-wrote the pharmacy address and date. Hope that's alright.

I believe the turnaround time for VFS Delhi is around 10 working days. I submitted my passport on 13 Aug at VFS Delhi.

Yes, according to the specification, handwritten name, address and date should be good. Hopefully, it won't cause any issue.

Was travelling the whole of last week so didn't have time to refer to the forum. Thank you @CanadaVisaForumMember, @Toronto2018, @bimale4bipeople, @syedahraza for sharing information

I am posting some information with respect to Bank account opening in Canada

 

[tbn2k18]

Some of the popular banks that people have mentioned (order varies depending on your preference)
TD
RBC
Scotia
CIBC
Tangerine

Check for the nearest branches to your location and book an appointment for account opening discussions.

Documents required;
ID document - can be your passport/ Visa/COPR etc
Address Proof - Your COPR copy, Goods to follow list etc where address is mentioned
For other documents if any visit the bank website

Its a fairly simple process to get the Checking account started and also apply for most likely secured credit cards.

To build credit history try to use 70% of the limit of credit cards (shopping, buying tickets etc.) and clear dues on time.

Just submitted passports at the hyderabad VFS. The guys kept pushing me for courier service but I declined. They are really pushy.
Anyone who submitted here and already received their ppts?

@tbn2k18 any information on private health insurance? a compare-contrast of sorts.
