Hello everyone,
My wife just recieved a 'request letter' stating amongst other things: "Your application for permanent residence in Canada has reached the final stage of processing. Before itcan be finalized, you must follow the instructions below within 30 days of the date of this letter. "
Then they also asked for submitting passport and stuff (photos)
ECAS is also showing 'decision made' but CIC tool is still showing 'background check in progress'.
Is this basically an acceptance?
The only problem is that her passport expires March 9, 2019. And the Serbian Government says that she cannot renew her passport until September 9.
Wondering if we should send everything ASAP (Monday morning in Belgrade) or contact CIC and ask for an extension until she receives her new passport. Is she able to send in her old passport to Vienna, receive the visa, then when she gets her new passport, get the old stamp transferred over to her new passport?
Best of luck to everyone else in this!
