Hello, I have a question. My parents passport got stamped with immigrant visa. How long before they need to enter Canada? In the past, it used to be 6 months from approval…the validity of visa states expiry in August 2025. So do they have until August to visit canada and become immigrants?

Congratulations!

I think your parents need to land to Canada by August 2025 to get PR.

Can you share your timeline? What is your processing office? Mississauga or Vancouver?

Today I received a letter that asked to submit passport within 30 days. The asked to submit passport to the nearest VFS in my country and then the passport will be sent to Singapore Canadian consulate. My question is any idea how long it takes for Singapore to send back the passport? Our family have religious trip booked in January last week. I am confused do i wait to submit the passport till we return home or just submit to VFS.

You will most likely get it within 2 weeks, but if you are worried you can always just request a 30-day extension and submit after their trip.

Your parents maybe in security screening. Did you order CBSA or/and CSIS notes? Did your parents have military or government work experience?
