I dare say compared to just getting a visa to visit a country like India or Poland, this is within the range of tolerability. </font>

Based on my personal experience within the last week, getting a Polish Visa in YVR was a 'piece of cake'. I dropped off my application at the Consulate last Tuesday, paid the fee and courier costs and was told that the application should be processed by the 24th and I should have my passport back within a few days after that. To my surprise my passport, complete with a Polish visa, arrived at work on Friday morning. By the way I paid the standard visa fees and not the expedited processing fee.

Total turnaround time including courier less than 72 hours.

Level of tolerance needed none.

I hope topic starter's brother-in-law gets the same type of service from CIC.
