Default I got the visa !

I got the visa grant letter yesterday. I applied for a skilled migrant - class 175 visa and the immigration office I had applied through sent me the scanned copy of the grant letter yesterday.

now the questions are:


1- Do I have to stamp the visa on my and my family's passports or i can travel with my grant letter only? (And can I used the scanned one they sent me?)
2- If I have to stamp the visa, how long will it take?

Thanks for the replies in advance !

yes each applicants passport has to be stamped, it takes a day here in India if you go straight to the high comission, if you go through VFS it takes 2-3 days.
