He doesn't need a new COPR. He can just point out the mistake to CBSA when he lands.
He’s already emailed Vienna and is waiting for a reply. They will most likely say that they need to reissue his COPR, in that case is it still up to us or will we have to request a new one? I’m asking because we’ve made travel plans and if we need to request for a new one who knows how long it’ll take :-/
Perhaps we should have just ignored it instead of addressing it, I have a feeling it’s protocol for them to tell us to send it back and have it reissued. Hopefully it doesn’t take too long.
Honestly, yes, you shouldn't have bothered contacting the VO, as it is a simple clerical mistake. They likely will tell you to return the document to be re-issued.
Since you seem to know everything do you know if theyll ask for my husband to submit police certificates again in order to reissue his COPR? They expire early May and I don’t think Vienna will get back to us via email anytime soon. I’d rather him gather everything he needs now so that we’re prepared.
Ok they’ve replied! They’re asking to reissue the COPR and counterfoil and for my husband to send his passport, COPR and copy of the email they’ve sent him. They’re not asking for two photos but from what I’ve gathered on the forum they’re usually required? Should he send two photos anyways even though they haven’t asked for them?
He’s going to go back to the VAC to send everything, he has to pay the fee again which sucks but at least we know the documents are secure. It only took 7 business days for his passport to be returned the first time so hopefully it’s not too long of a wait for the reissuing.
They will just move the photo from the old COPR to the new COPR, so I wouldn't think they need new ones.
