Not given Visitors Permit Number, but needed for Common-Law Sponsorship Application

[asur90]

Hi everyone,

My partner and I arrived back to YVR yesterday (I entered as a visitor, my partner is Canadian) so we can start the Inland process for Common-Law Sponsorship. I need to provide the Visitors Permit Number and a photocopy of the visitors visa but when I entered through customs I didn't get any stamp or number on my passport. I understand, stamps on passports are not required anymore. I know they have my 6 months visitors status electronically but how do I prove that to immigration in my application, since it requires the visitors permit number/photocopy?

Thank you

Hi
I think thats the number in your visitor visa not on the stamps

Hi

Just include a letter of explanation in place of the stamp. IRCC can verify the entry in the system.

Thanks! I’m thinking that I will have to write a letter of explanation yes. I’m not too worried about the stamp itself but the fact that I don’t have a visitors permit document or number with me.

Thank you.

You don't need a document or number.

Ok, that’s good then. Cheers!
