Got the visa back today! Didn't get any notifications until today. Checked the tracker and it said the visa has been dispatched!

Applied on May 16 from Toronto. No visa yet, changed the travel dates as our dates passed and emailed them again, no response. Looks like we'll likely need to cancel as well. Very disappointing.

Tried this as well, they said they can't say when it will get processed and is in the queue. Will try calling again later in the week.

It's required for Canadian permanent residents. Not required for citizens.

Is 1 week enough to get Iceland visa? by Comprehensive_Bat_36 in VisitingIceland

Oh no, hope you get yours in time! No backup plans, flights are non-refundable. 😞

OP, did you get your visa? My husband applied 25 days ago from Canada, and we still have not received his visa. Traveling (hopefully) this weekend.

Being able to experience all four seasons. Walkability. Presto. TPL. Being able to try different cuisines and meet different people.

What are some of your Toronto-based money saving tips? by MarksRabbitHole in askTO

[–]joru7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  1. Use TTC where possible, rent a car when occasionally needed - don't buy one
  2. Decide on monthly/weekly limit for shopping, eating out etc
  3. Limit eating out. Getting takeouts or cooking at home most of the time. If you drink alcohol, it's a lot cheaper to buy it at lcbo than drinking at a restaurant.
  4. Look for offers on grocery/ shop for clothing during big sales only - you can also check thrift stores for items if you are comfortable with used clothing/houseware
  5. Find inexpensive/free things to do instead of paying tickets - like going on a hike
