Here in Manitoba you can go without appointment but there will be a line up outside because of covid but you can also make appointment before you go that way they'll let you straight in
Wow more than a month? I was thinking it would take a max of 1 month. Even some ppl who mail their photo would get it in a month. Portal was supposed to be faster.
I also crossed the land border to Canada, I had a valid visa when I crossed the border, now I'm not sure if I can go back after PR. @Mussawar586 can you please let me know what a waiver means? Thanks.
