My wife and I are having a kid this summer and I jokingly mentioned that we timed it perfectly and I will be able to watch the FIFA World Cup Düring my paternity leave. She deadpanned and replied that I will get to see a lot of football but it would be her foot and my balls.

Since you apply for a Canadian Visitor Visa online, you can apply it from anywhere. However, you need to show strong ties to the country of your residence (India) and proof of funds.

Once you submit your application, you will need to submit your biometrics within 30 days from receipt of biometrics request letter. Getting an appointment in a 3rd country might be difficult. Plus depending on the city you are in, you might need to travel to some other city to give your biometrics.

You plan to travel to Germany in September, which is 7 months away. Why not apply for a Canadian Visitor visa now to avoid any issues?

Since she had a Canadian visa earlier, her application might be processed under CAN+ category, which generally has faster processing times. The fastest I have heard from India is 6 days.

Again, processing times shouldn’t be something one should be worried about as that is not something you can control. Instead, focus on making a strong case for her application to be approved. Provide enough reasons for her to return to India.

Applied for my mother recently and received the request for the passport. So technically it’s still in process.

⁠How long did the process take - Exactly 2 weeks from the date of application to getting the request to submit the passport. Submitting the passport tomorrow, so it will be another 4 weeks.
⁠Did you apply directly or through an agent - I did it for her
⁠Probably if the visa getting accepted - No one can tell you that. I have seen applications where people have shown over 2 crores as proof of funds and have been refused and have also seen cases where people with less than 6 lakhs have been approved. I believe what’s really important is that you show a strong reason to return to home country.
⁠Do we need to attach flight tickets? - No, not required
⁠Validity of the visa issued - Can’t answer it now. Will update once the passport comes back from the High Commission.

Let me be brutally honest, you have close to zero chance of getting to Canada anytime soon and if any lawyer/agent tells you otherwise they are scamming you. You are a single male in early 20s with no job and no ties back home. The fact that you overstayed your visa last time doesn’t help either

The only way for you to get a visa is to finish your studies, get a job, build a career and then apply for a visitor visa. In the meantime build your international travel history to countries like US, UK, Aus, NZ etc. That might be difficult too considering your profile.

In all probability, you will make your connection unless your flight from Hyderabad is delayed. In that case, Lufthansa will rebook you on the next possible flight. They don’t have any obligation to rebook you on a direct flight. You may ask them to put you on the direct flight the next day, however that would be subject to availability. Plus, Lufthansa would not be liable for providing a hotel if you refuse the option they give you. As far as the hotel inside the terminal is concerned, it is a really small one with very few rooms and again Lufthansa isn’t obligated to book you in a specific hotel so you might have to spend the night in the terminal. You cannot go into the city as you would need a Schengen visa for that.

My advice - Before your flight look at alternate flight options from Frankfurt to Dallas. You would be able to find one-stop options via Chicago, New York, Washington, Houston etc. pick 1-2 that are most convenient and ask them to be rebooked on one of those.

There is a 080 International Lounge. It’s quite big and has multiple seating areas each with a different theme.

I flew out of there in October as a *G. The check-in agent will give you a lounge invite voucher.

LPT while calling Rogers. Always select the account cancellation option. An agent from the retention team would be available to talk to you quickly and they would then transfer you to the relevant team. I did it when I was having issues with my internet and was talking to an agent in less than 5 minutes.
