"Indicate how long you plan to stay" in Canada visa?
Say I need to travel to Canada within a week. Generally, visa processing takes one month(for Indians). Although the first travel date is in the next week, I will also have requirement to travel multiple times in the following months.
Now my concern is that whether or not I miss the next week, I still have to go in the next month most probably.
So if I give the From date as next week, will the visa officer reject my application? as I can't get the visa by next week? Does it work like that?
- I apply today
- By the time the visa officer processes it, the From date already passed
- What's the decision of visa officer?
If I get the rejection after long delay like a month, I will have to again apply in which case I may also miss the next month's plan.
Edit:
Requirement: Multiple Entry Business Visitor
The field states "how long you plan to stay" but the required answer fields are in the form of "From" and "To" dates.
Origin country: India
Thanks

The visa officer will adjudicate the application and its merits at the time they receive it. The VFS does not have the mandate to adjudicate applications, they only review it for completion.
Thus it depends on the time the visa officer receives it, not the submission time. When it is received after the event for which you planned to visit has passed, it is supposed to be rejected because it fails the trip purpose consideration. Refer to the Operational instructions and Guidelines for Canadian visa officers.
