    I got an email saying my test was invalid because i didn't provide visible valid photo ID despite the fact that I showed my permanent resident card at beginning of test.

    Hello. I currently have a visitor record that's valid for 5 more months and I'd like to visit the US and come back to Canada.

    Got Visitor Record but NO Visitor Visa (online application)

    Current status in Canada is a worker. I'm thinking about submitting paper TRV application so that I can send along my passport at the same time instead of waiting for them to request it. It makes sense right?
