Thank user828: looks like this procedure - descrided by Ramjmalhotra is quite common, so I'll go with this one.user828 said:One of the options above
..but i read that ( think it was Rajmalhotra ) that you can go at the border and tell them I need to get back to Canada for stamping and they just let you in the other side
P.S. About request to not inquire about a file, as it can cause delays:
It was me writing this 3 days ago, but is strictly related to the stage my mom's file reached: PP request , in order to affix the visa inside.
The email my mom receieved (anouncing her to send her PP) has this note (in French):
Veuillez vous abstenir de demander des renseignements sur l’état de la demande pendant cette période; de telles requêtes ne font que retarder le traitement de la demande.
