Hello,
I am an Indian citizen on a H1-B visa in the U.S. I want to apply for Canadian tourist visa online. I am planning to visit Canada in January 2016. I have a problem though - I am visiting India for a month from Nov 11 to Dec 14. I will be back in the U.S. on Dec 14.
If I wait until I come back from India and then apply online, then I may not get the visa approved and my passport stamped before January. So, my question is, can I apply online just before I leave for India (because I know I have 30 days to send the passport once they respond)? Is it a problem if I applied for the visa and then travelled to India?
My idea is to apply online just before I leave (around Nov 10), then hopefully they'd respond to me in 10-15 days, so I'll have until end of December to send my passport to them. So I can come back to the U.S. on Dec 14 and send my passport to the embassy. Is it OK to do this? Or will I have problems because the uploaded passport that I submit with my application will not be the same as the passport I send in (it will have more entries from my travel to India)?
Thank you.
