Hello guys,
I am on work permit now, so i applied for extending my temporary resident visa which approved on 2 weeks ago and I sent my passport for stamping the visa. I got my passport back but On the page which visa printed as VISITOR instead of WORKER. What should I do next? I have been trying to contact IRCC but no luck to get an agent>

Several people reported that, I guess its a new changes to issue V-1 for any extension in Canada.

Is the new TRV validity close to the expiry date of your passport ? Is it way beyond the validity of your PGWP ? In a way its a good thing.

One more question please. How long after the passport was sent did it take for them to stamp ? Thanks. Don't worry about this TRV. If you look at these links, many people have got it.
