    RPRF to PPr

    Hi, nothing was specified, but I'd imagine that 6 month validity will be fine (You'd just have to enter Canada before the passport expires)

    Transiting through USA

    Hi guys, quick question; I've gotten my COPR and entry visa to complete my landing. I just want to clarify one thing (I'm pretty sure it's a silly question and that I won't have any issues, but still): Will I have any issue transiting through the USA on my way to Toronto? I have a valid USA...

    Yep, today is the 3rd week of the passport sitting in the high commission. However, VFS have told me that it takes 10-20 working days to process, so I'm hoping that this gets sorted out within the next few days. I need to sort out a ton of stuff with regards to moving and until the passport is...

    There won't be any indication on your CIC account, you'll have to wait on them requesting your passport to find out where it's being processed.

    visa stamping

    I'm in a similar situation, except I'm dealing with the visa office in Pretoria, South Africa. They acknowledged receiving the passport on the 18th of July and told me that it can take anywhere from 5-20 business days to stamp. Fingers crossed we don't run into any delays and that we all get the...
