Hello I was wondering if anyone had applied for a visa at the Turkish embassy in london. I checked online and it says that enquiries take 6-8 weeks to come through.

Hello

Is it possible for a person with a master's degree, doing a second masters in the US to apply for immigration to canada? the person does not have any work experience and is an indian citizen
