Hello everyone !!
I am an Asian and I mentioned my eye color as "Black " in PR application and the same is written in my COPR. But recently I came to know that black eye color is actually very rare and such people have actually darker shades of brown. Looking closely, I realized my eye color is dark brown too.
I still have over a month before I leave for Canada....
1. Should I raise a CSE with CIC now OR ....land with this COPR only, notify the officer at port of entry and request him to correct it ? ( Though I doubt both approaches since it is clearly a mistake on my part and don't know if CIC would correct it at this point )
2. If the officer at port of entry doesn't correct it, should I apply for amendment of COPR after landing ? (I have heard amendment procedure takes 5-6 months ....and correction of mistakes made by applicants is completely at officer's discretion) ....Secondly, will they withhold my PR card processing in that case until my COPR is amended or print one with black eye color only?
OR,
3. Should I leave it as such .. if I do so ....can I run into any trouble in future for not having actual eye color on PR card ...at airports while travelling to other countries ...or returning to Canada from international trips ....or while applying for PR card renewal or citizenship application ?
4. Also, if I keep it as such.... what should I write in future...like in my driving license papers , PR card renewal application and citizenship application etc...stick with BLACK only to maintain consistency of documents or go for actual color of eyes which is brown ??
SENIOR MEMBERS.... Please help !!......... your opinions will be much appreciated !! As you can see by the length of this post, I am really worried at this point !! I am feeling kinda lost right now...
