Sorry folks, I am not getting answer under Settlement thread so I am posting my query here.

Dear All,

We are new immigrant in Canada, landed week ago and our Port of Entry (POE) was Montreal Airport. Post landing, we visited to Service Canada Office next day to apply for SIN, but to our surprise, Service Canada Personnel highlighted a major mistake done by Immigration Officer in Montreal (POE) that he mentioned Application no. EXXXXXXXXX instead of pertinent Document No. in all of our passports against entry stamps. She confirmed that although all the information is matching, she still cannot process our SIN as Document No. is required to be mentioned on the passport against entry stamps in order to initiate SIN process. She advised us to email/phone the Immigration department to get this corrected.

Does this kind of blunder happens normally, how much time it takes for correction? I have emailed to the immigration department however they responded that use our IRCC Web form and resubmit your request, however I am unable to find the relevant topic under which I need to submit my request.

I would appreciate if anybody of you assist me on above.

Thanks in anticipation.

Not sure about Canada as i am still waiting for PPR , but in USA any simple mistake like that is normally corrected in Airport , go to the airport , ask for immigration officer and ask him if this simple mistake can be corrected , normally they should be be able to correct it within half an hour

Had a similar blunder whole arriving for my studies at the airport by the first stamping officer. Luckily it was caught by a senior officer while preparing my study permit. He simply stamped a cancellation stamp on the wrong one and re-stamped it with the correct info. Although this was done when I was landing, I think you can fix it if you go back to the airport. To make sure call IRCC at +1 888 242 2100.
