My husbands passport took just over 2 weeks to come back so you should be ok!Thank you, Manzana!
Regarding the address, they never asked us for one; what they did ask us was the which city we intend to live. We said Calgary, and that is all.
And about the passports and COPR, we'll just cross fingers!
Thank you again!
Thank you both!!
Yes on a separate paper my husband wrote his name, his country and the address in canada where he will live.
When we sent ours, we sent the original birth certificate and marriage certificate. So it didn't need to be certified that it was a true copy by the lawyer. However, we did have to get it "stamped" by the government office in his country to get it "legalized". It is very confusing and some people said we didn't need to do that but we did not want to take the change in it being sent back or delayed so we just did everything.
Congrats!
We got our passport back about 2 weeks after, so yes you should be good!
thank uu
We used UPS from Canada. In the envelope that you sent your passport in, you were supposed to include a prepaid envelope for them to return your passport with. The return envelope is prepaid and already has the address label on it.Thank u ! Quick question! Im so confused about the prepaid airway bill. They enailed us sayig they received rhe passport but need the prepaid airway bill, my husband send hid passport via dhl and they told him they charge him after they receive the passport in Guate, but immigration emailed us today asking to send the prepaid airway bill and im so confused is that a sobre prepagado? Who did u send it with and how? Im really confused and i dont want to be stuxk in the last step
We said that when we went to DHL and they included a bunch of papers and said they send a guia email to migracion to send it back but didnt add an actual sobre in with the passport this is why im SO CONFUSED its the last step and i feel stuck
You now need to buy a prepaid envelope that you would have put in another which you need to pay for as well and send it through DHL to the MVO. Do not forget to add a separate sheet with your full name, UCI & Application numbers and the complete address where u intend to live once you arrive in Canada as well as your birthdate in order for them to verify it is you (or your husband) that is sending this package. Do it right away as they are in a hurry to send your passport back. I wish you the best!
Thats the thing DHL in Guatemala told us they email the airway bill to us my husband signs it and sends it back to them, then they email the scanned copy to immigration and send a DHL worker with a copy of the prepaid airway bill to the embassy in mxico to pick up the passport and then once it arrives in Guatemala they call him he goes to the office and then they charge him for the return . Im so confused i called immigration and no one anwers to see if this is the actual procedure
This sounds very confusing... but I lived in Guatemala for a few years and they typically like to make any process overly complicated
