Missed Origional Passport Request deadline, what should I do

[jeffreydhy]

Hi guys,

I have submitted my visitor visa on March 20th and received the OPR on March 29th. It reads that I have to submit my passport to LA office within 30 days but I was sick at the time so I didn't response back within the time frame. Now I want to resume my application, I was wondering what should I do now?

1. Should I re-fill a new application?
2. Should I just send the passport regardless. If that's the case, when I submitted my application, I submitted my itinerary (A hotel booking confirmation). Now that day has passed, don't they need a new itinerary?

Thanks for your kind help!

I would think that after 30 day period if they don't receive the passports they would just cancel the application (without impacting any future considerations). I am not sure if this is true, I haven't seen anyone who had missed this period to respond back to CIC requests.
You might have to start new application with new itinerary and explain the reason why you were not able to submit your passports when they requested.

1. Should I re-fill a new application?

You could email the visa office to request passport submission. Unlikely they would accept it after a delay of nearly 60 days. Generally, a file will be closed/refused after the 30 days time limit.

2. Should I just send the passport regardless. If that's the case, when I submitted my application, I submitted my itinerary (A hotel booking confirmation). Now that day has passed, don't they need a new itinerary?

Don't send your passport without confirming first from the visa office.
