hello,
my wife is a resident of Canada,i have also applied for the PR under family class in Canada.i am applying online for visiting visa to Canada from Estonia and i was met with a problem uploading my documents online.

Problem
in the questionnaire,i was asked to *select the code that matches the one on your passport*
i chose NGA(Nigeria)
and on the IMM5257,i was asked *country or territory of issue* of my passport
and i chose SWE(Sweden).
and when i tried to upload i was told i could not upload because *my country code (NGA) and country of issue of my passport should be the same:(o_O

please anyone with an idea of what to do
thanks

Why is your passport issued by Sweden? Did you renew your passport from the there?

I live in Estonia but got my passport renewed in Sweden. The "Come to Canada wizard" on cic website generates questionnaire when applying online for Visiting to determine your eligibility...either regular Visiting visa or eTa. I was asked for Country code on Passport which is NGA but on the IMM 5257 form, the part where asked for Authority/ issuing country of passport, I wrote SWE (Sweden). When I got to the part of uploading the form online, it says my questionnaire answers regarding my passport doesn't correspond to what I wrote on the application form.

But when I switched to SWE on the questionnaire it says I needed to apply for eTa not the regular visa. So it's really confusing.

Even if it was renewed in Sweden, is it not that the passport still came from Nigeria?
Obviously it came from Nigeria but issuing country as written on passport is Sweden.

Anyways, I guess we might have to call Immigration to figure this out tho. Thank you all for your response.

Man Its very easy , If you are not Swedish national select nageria for both question.
It does not matter where your passport issued, even if it is even issued in sweden it issued by nagerian HC or embassy.
