My daughter's passport won't be stamped unless she asks the CBSA officer for a stamp. She already has a letter of introduction, she got it on 21st October, it was in GCKEY a few hours after the change in policy to allow non US international students to travel if they institution was on the DLI covid ready list. Her study permit was approved on 22 June but it was archived, so it took to 21st October to receive it.
Only CBSA stamps passports, you are probably referring to fixing your TRV in passport, that isn't a stamp.
Euro nationals do not require a TRV printed by the embassy since they are visa exempt countries. It's a different process for other people, confusing whether other people receive POE on GCkey or through other means.
a TRV is not a stamp, it is a visa fixed into your passport with a little bit of glue. Some Europeans nationals are visa nationals for Canada.
A TRV is not a sticker either, it is a high quality piece of paper with many security features.
Acknowledged changed the wording to "printed" hope the community benefits the info.
Hi! I am a visa national and it took me 5 days to get the letter of introduction. Do you see “counterfoil” in your GC key? Did you get a “final approval”? By final approval I mean that you have the date when each of the processes was completed. Receiving OPR is an approval, but not a final one since they are double checking your passport for authenticity
Does this mean your passport's authenticity is the only thing they check before stamping it?
What else do you think they check? It's been two weeks since I submitted. No update yet
