Hello to everyone. Ishare ko lang ang nangyari sa amin ng hubby ko:
So we received DM nung March 27, 2014 so I was already anticipating the Visa & COPR around 1st wk ng April.
Hubby received them today April 10, 2014. We found 2 problems on both Visa & COPR.
First, the VISA is only valid until APRIL 12, 2014. I mean he only has 2 days to complete everything & then fly here?! That's too rushed. Not to mention Saturday na ang expiry date so weekend, close ang offices. We also need to get PDOS which we can do in Cebu kaso lahat ng flights in Northern Mindanao (which we're from) is only from 8:30 am onwards. Eh yung PDOS magstart ng 10am but have to be there by 9am for registration.
The 2nd most stupid mistake is that the Country of Issue na nakalagay sa COPR ni hubby is wrong. Instead of Philippines, they put India. INDIA?! Paano naging India? Nowhere in our application states that country and hubby's passport is clearly from Philippines.
So I called CIC here in Canada and they said that because it is an error, he won't be able to enter the port of entry daw dito. So irereturn namin sa CEM ang Visa today along with COPR & a letter that states anong mga mali. It states naman sa instructions to Send back the visa & COPR if may mali and wait for further instructions.
Hopefully we will get an extended Visa validity date as well as get the Country of Issue corrected soon but not that rushed. Holy week pa naman.
Nakakastress talaga. So everybody make sure to double check everything if may mali sila..
