Hello,
we just received an email stating the following, and we would like if you could help clarify a few things:
Your Confirmation of Permanent Residence Form(s) to Canada is/are ready to be issued,
conditional to a final admissibility review by an immigration officer.
Your Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR) Form(s) will be valid for your initial entry to
Canada until 05/08/2015 (mm/dd/yy).
1) I don't really understand, but according to CIC's timetable, we should have to wait 15 months for step 2, but we completed step 1 like 1-2 months ago. Does this email really means we're mostly at the end of it ? As the email mentions COPR, according to this "calendar" from another canadavisa user, we seem to be roughly at the end of our case: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AiqQW9CdV8Q_dGNKMzZPT2laaVRvQm1NMGhkaERFUHc#gid=0
Also, currently my spouse is in Canada as a visitor until the end of march 2015, so we're wondering if this might mess up things or make them simpler:
2) It's not really clear in the mail, but are we supposed to send her real passport out somewhere, or just a photocopy of the main pages ? In the email, it states to write a "Address where your passport can be returned by courier collect", but also states "A copy of the passport biographical page for yourself".. (Actually, what is a return address ?)
3) Should we tell them the contact number and address is mine in canada, or should we use her phone / address in her country ? Since she's on vacation with me for a long while, she can't get her voice mail either...
4) It says "Your COPR Form(s) and your original documents will be sent to you by courier. We will make our best efforts to have the package out within 90 working days from their receipt at the Embassy.". Does it mean that once we send something to them, we will get something back within 90 days, or that after a while, they will ship something to us, but they might wait up to 90 days before doing so ?
5) What should we do? Is it ok for her to stay in Canada now as a visitor, or she absolutely have to return to her country until everything is fully completed ? (Because I guess if we have to send out her REAL passport somewhere while she's in Canada as a visitor, it's really not wise?)
6) In our situation, would it help to ask for a visitor visa extension ? She still has 5 months left.
thanks !
