Hi everyone,
I'm in the fortunate position to have had my outland PR visa (family class / commonlaw) approved at the High Commission in London. I received an email today requesting my travel documents. However, even though my passport is valid until 2014, the email states that my visa will be valid until 27-04-2010, only 7 months from now. I was kind of assuming that it would be valid for at least 3 years, particularly given the significant financial outlay and large amount of time my partner and I put into the application. I don't want to have to do it again in a few months. Has anyone experienced this situation before? Seems a trifle odd to me.
I know that once I'm in Canada on my PR visa I can extend it / go for an inland application and have leave to remain whilst a decision is made so it's not as big an issue as it could be. We'll just have to go through the process again. I'd rather be earning money, paying tax and contributing to Canada than filling out application forms though.
Thanks!
