My Passport got wet..

[hassans567]

I am an exchnage student at Schulich, York University from Lancaster University UK. I hold a Pakistani passport.

After completing the fall term at Schulich, I cam to US to visit my sister.

My passport was in my pants and my sister put it in the washing machine without checking it.

It is now in in slightly bad shape, but no torn pages at all and both the Studdent Visa and the Study permit is clearly legible.


Now i am retuing to canada in 2 days and I dont know what will happen at the immigration. Someone said that they might deport me. Others say that they have all my details on their record and that they must be coming across this problem. I went to the Canadian consulate here, the women was sure but she said that the maximum I can face is a fine at the immigration fo about $250. Im ready to face that, but not ready to face deportation obviously.

Does anyone here know anything about this?

Please let me know.. im very tense..

thanks

1. No they won't deport or fine you if the passport is still readable.
2. Get a new one when you arrive back in Canada.

I just got a new Pakistani passport made from the pakistani consulate here in houston. But my student visa and study permit is in the wet passport which is attached with it.


I have been so tense in the past few days. Are you sure nothing like that will happen? My whole study year gets wasted if i'm denied entry into canada.

You will not have a problem at all, especially with the new passport attached to the old one.

Thankyou so much for making me feel better. If you dont mind, can you tell me who you are? Are you some immigration official?

Thanks a lot once again

btw the study permit is a bit torn. As it was folded inside the passports, the lines along which it was folded, it is a bit torn. But no was between this torn part luckily.

The visa is also clearly legible, but the page is slightly curled after the passport got dried.
