Hello everyone,
I am a Canadian citizen and my application for my wife was submitted on Dec 2 2009. My wife received a similar letter from Delhi office on Jan 24t. The letter request for passport and also for the Landed immigrants fees. It also soays if any other papers such as Police report is missing in your original app then submit it now.
My wife has to travel on Feb 7th and I do not know what to do as they could keep the passport for several weeks/months. Please advise what should we do?
Thanks
Well you really only have 2 options:
a. cancel her travel plans because even if you submit her PP today, you are very unlikely to get it back by Feb. 7. It typically takes a minimum of 2 weeks to be returned.
b. go on your planned trip but make sure that you are back in time to submit her PP within the 30 day timeframe requested by the CHC -- note that it is 30 days from the date of the letter, not 30 days from when you received the letter. At least that is what our letter said.
I am quite sure that they will not give you an extension on submitting her PP so I think those are your only choices. I would personally choose option a. as to me completing my immigration application would be my first priority. If you don't get your PP submitted in time, you risk the chance of your application being rejected and you will need to start the process all over again.
