Passport Request, but passport will expire in 6 months and no blank page left

[OhCanadiana]

Glad it worked out And congrats for starting your life in Canada

For future reference, this only worked because GOGOGO is from a visa-exempt country and therefore they did not need an empty page for the visa counterfoil (and instead just issue the COPR)

Just to give an update for others' future reference.

I sent in the passport copy even though the passport will expire in 6 months and no blank page. COPR was mailed to me. I landed with this passport. The border officer asked me if I have another passport which I have and handed it over to her. She confirmed with me on which passport was used in the immigration process, then tried hard to find a blank page in that passport, and eventually stamped on a blank page which is not supposed to be used for visa/stamp! Anyway, the landing was done and I will renew my passport later.

Note: The stamp measures 2"x1.5" including some hand-written stuff underneath the stamp.

I'm hoping I have similar luck with my typo-ed passport. I'm going to have trouble getting them a passport with my proper birthday within the 60 day window so I'm hoping maybe they will take an original of my birth certificate instead to verify my real birth date!!

Hope you will get the new passport soon, and write to the VO in advance if you can't meet the deadline. All the best, g-man! Sending luck to your way!
