hi guys, i received an email today asking me to submit passport style photos as well as copies of the pages of my passport.. bit confused about the photos since i already submitted those with my application but alrighty.. so long as this means i'm approved! ecas has been changed to decision made which at first i got VERY excited about but then after reading the email i'm left a bit confused. it says this:
"Your application for admission to Canada as a Permanent Resident may now be ready to be finalised, conditional to a final admissibility review by the immigration officer. Your Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR) Form(s) will be valid for your initial entry to Canada until 11/16/2015 (mm/dd/yy)."
and then later this:
"2. VISA VALIDITY
The issuance of your Confirmation of Permanent Resident document(s) is time sensitive so it is important for you to submit your passport(s) when requested.
Once you receive your Confirmation of Permanent Resident document(s), please check the information on it to make sure it is correct. If there are any errors, such as incorrect spelling of name or incorrect date of birth, please inform CPC-Ottawa Visa Office immediately. Your name will appear in the same format as it appears in your passport.
Your permanent resident visa will expire one year after the date of your medical examinations. If your passport or the passports of your spouse or dependent children (if applicable) expire on an earlier date, the visa will expire on the earlier date.
You must travel to Canada and present your immigration documents at a Canadian Port of Entry before they expire. The validity of the Confirmation of Permanent Resident documents cannot be extended. If you fail to enter Canada before this date and still wish to immigrate to Canada, you must reapply by submitting a new application and paying new processing fees. All such applications will be assessed according to the immigration laws in force at the time of receipt of the application. There is no guarantee a future application would be successful. "
so ok, i submit the requested photos and copies of my passport pages but i have until the 11/16 to actual enter canada or else?? is this email my COPR?? there are some forms at the bottom of the email but they just appear to be asking for any changes in family situation and have instructions for the photos.. the date provided doesnt even match the date my medical was done?? sorry for the length!
but seriously jpsant they are stuck like forever. You are in process. You are gonna receive your visa soon
