Dear colleagues,
I have finally renewed my wife's international passport, it took two weeks to do the renewal.
Why it took two weeks was that it involved change of my wife's maiden name to her marital surname.
The process started from passport office Ikoyi, Lagos and finished at Immigration Headquarters in Abuja.
Any change of name due to marriage (including change of name by virtue of other things) is always done at the immigration headquarters at Abuja, the person will also appear in person in Abuja to do Data Capture again in abuja, since they already have information (inclusing biometric information) about the other name in their database.
I will go to accra and pick the visa , since accra has told me in their Visa notification mail in mid june, 2013 that i must come and pick the Visa before my medical examination expires in a date in August, 2013 .
However, because of this short time left for me to actually prepare and live in Canada, couple with i and my wife works here, We cannot resign within three weeks and move to canada.
What we plan to do is to go to Canada and spend two weeks and come back to Naija before the August date,
I have a friend in Canada, i am going to specify his address as the address that they should send our permanent residency cards to when they finally process them, he will then send the PR Cards down to us here in Naija.
I have seen from some sites and forums that it is possible to enter Canada then go out of canada while the PR card is being processed by the Canadian Government.Hope this does not have any effect ?.
Landed seniors in Canada how long does it take for the Canadian government to process the PR Card after landing ?.
What are the things that are required at the point of entrance to Canada ?
Regards,
