Recently I got IMMIGRANT (IM-1) visa( canda) and CONFORMATION OF PERMANENT RESIDENCE document (I got visa as dependent applicant), but unfortunately my traveling document(passport) was reissued by passport office before travelling due to shows error at immigration counter at IGI airport New Delhi, the error occurred due to mistake of passport office. Now they reissued me a new travel document (passport)and reason of letter( why they reissued new passport) but my details of old passport mentioned on new passport.
I am travelling first time to canada.

My question is that my visa stamped on old passport and old passport number on Conformation of permanent residence document (COPR). But both passport in my hand now.
So these circumstances i am travelling to canada?

If the passport linked to your CoPR is not valid, then you cannot use this to land. You will have to contact the visa office and explain the situation and they will then issue a new visa counterfoil and CoPR to use with your valid travel document.

You don't have to go through the whole application process again.

Your best option is to email the visa office that processed your application and ask them directly about the process. They might be able to indicate how long it will take. I would calculate 4-6 weeks though, if it involves waiting for responses and then sending documents again.

Best contact the visa office responsible....
Back in the time I first landed in Canada my daughter’s COPR had a mistake... I emailed the visa office and they told me to sent everything back to them... I did... and got the amended forms back in 7 days even though the embassy was in a different country.....

Subject: Regarding travelling to canada at IMMIGRANT (IM-1)visa
To:








Dear Sir/Madam,

Thank you for your recent inquiry to the Migration Section of the High Commission of Canada in New Delhi.




If you have a valid visa for Canada in your full/expired passport, and you have been issued a new passport, you may continue to use the visa, but you will need to travel with both your new passport and the full/expired passport which contains the valid visa when you travel to Canada.

To avoid needing to travel with both your full/expired passport and your new passport, you may wish to have the visa in your full or expired passport cancelled and a replacement visa (with the same validity) placed in your new passport. For more information on how to obtain a replacement visa and the associated fee, please visithttps://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/application-forms-guides/guide-5545-application-verification-status-vos-replacement-immigration-document.html .

The forms and fees should be submitted to VFS.






Sincerely,

Client Service Unit, Migration | Unité du Service à la clientele, migration
