They gave him the ususal song and dance about "Go back to India and try from there." His response was that he was going to India on a weeks notice for his sisters wedding, that it was going to be held in some out of the way village, and that he wouldnt have time to coordinate a trip to the nearest consulate. He also said that travel in India was not like here; one canot catch a flight and leave; travel often means a month of waiting time for train reservations etc etc. Believe it or not, the consul relented and gave him a one year multiple entry!!! I have got this news second hand, and it might lack accuracy in minor details, but what I **can** testify to is the bright look on the fortunate guy's face whenever anyone mentions Canada and Visas!!!
