[mushtaq]

Dear Friends,

I have recenlty received an immirgrant visa, but they misstyped my passport number in Visa and in COPR,, I need your advise how to proceed in order to make correction.

Get them notified immidiately so that something can be done in order not to cause any problem when landing. If their office is within reach visit them if not mail them immidiately or fax them.

Thanks Olyee,

I have sent them eamil,, got the answer saying that the Immigration officer at port of entry will correct the error.

Make sure you print and hold on to their reply as prove that it was CIC officer's error.
Happy Landing.

its to risky if the officer at poe is a bloody racist he can deny u entry and the main part is once the visa is issued it cannot be rectified

No they are not recist.  Canadian are very very polite.  The worst that could happen is that as part of routine check it might take a while before they correct the mistake as a matter of care being taken and being sure that they are dealing with correct person and correct documents.  They might ask you to enter canada but you might leave them with contacts so that they can get in touch while they are processing to rectify the error.  Check to make sure that the visa on the passport has got correct information i.e. dob, names etc.  Copr could be rectified at poe.

You need to return the COPR to CIC and have them correct the mistake.  If it isn't correct when you try to enter, they won't let you in!

OK from my personal experience this is what could happen with you. Since the Consulate already emailed you back saying visa officer at the POE will correct it.. I really don not think that emailing or contacting the embassy would do any better.

 When you land.
 
 1. Either the IO at POE will give you a form " Entry for further examination or admissibility hearing" IO will make you sign the document  and wont process your landing till the IO get the mistake rectified by the visa office, but don't worry if you are genuine and your case is valid than you'll be ok. After the IO get confirmation from the visa office that the error was made from their side. You will be call again to the airport to complete your landing.

 2. It is also possible that the IO at the airport or POE will just change the information in the system without going thru the process but i highly doubt that.

 3. Since you have an error on your COPR once you complete your landing, CIC will ask you to send your document to their query department in Ottawa for correction, currently the wait time for applications are 2 months. They will correct your COPR stamp it and will change their records.

 But in any case dont worry do take the email reply you received from the visa office as a proof.

You will be fine. Goodluck with everything.
