This is so annoying...
Husband landed 7.5 weeks ago. Yesterday a letter arrived from CIC. He ripped it open, assuming it was his PR card, and did not see who it was addressed to. No PR card, it was a letter inside, with HIS address and his HIS client ID number, but someone else's name! It says that his pictures were not good enough for the ID card, so he has an appt on Nov 22 to go to the CIC office in Edmonton and submit new photos.
Annoying because...
1) His photos submitted with the application were perfect. We assume they were lost between Accra and Canada
2) With the wrong name on the letter, he has to call to ensure this was meant for him. There is no phone number for the local office, so he is on hold (again!) with the main CIC line. I think you all know how long it takes to finally get ahold of someone there!
3) He has to take a morning off work and go downtown to submit his pictures in PERSON, rather than just being able to submit by mail or drop them off at his convenience. There is a strong warning on the letter about how important it is to show at the appointment.
Ugh...I thought we were done.
One more thing...did anyone else know that once you have lived as a PR for 3 years and can apply for citizenship that it takes an additional 18-24 months to get citizenship? I had no idea! Figured it would take 6 weeks or so. It's important for us because a Nigerian Passport really limits his travel ability -he'd have to get a visa just to go to the US. So we want him to have a Cdn Passport as soon as possible.
