Dear Experts,

I received a letter from Canadian Consulate to send passport. This is for immigrant
visa. Now the question is whether they would just put the sticker nothing else?

They told me to send passport alongwith an envelope with appropriate postage. Now
previously they use to send immigrant papers. And now I do not know whether they
would send ANY papers along with sticker on my passport.

Thanks in advance

H.

You will get at least a counterfoil visa sticker in your passport and a Confirmation
of Permanent Residence document. You may also get other documents and/or
informational material.

hi! I am also going through the same process. I have submitted my passports,photos and other required documents to CHC as they say, our visas are ready for issuance. They have to insert visas or stickers in the passports. It has almost two weeks over
not listened from them. My medical is going to be expired by the end of next month. They have also advised not to dispose off my property,purchase of flight tickets etc; till the time not in receipt of passports and visas.

My Questions from Respected Mr. Andrew Miller Please!
=======================================
1. How much time they have to take for insertion of the visas?
2. Do you think one month is fair enough for an immigrant for the purpose of landing?

It is a brand new process and we don't have any historical data to predict anything,
but I doubt that process will be shorter than 2 weeks.

As far as landing goes - it all depends where you'll be coming from and how prepared
are you for the move.

Is it a new procedeure that all CHCs will observe from now on ?? is there any
official notification or information available ?? how practical is it , as most of
the people have applied in countries other than their place of normal residence and
how can you send passports out for getting it stamped?

Yes, it is a new process as IMM 1000 (landing record) will not be issued anymore as
per Immigration Manual.

How practical it is? Depends from what "practical" means to you. It will be for sure
more secure process as selling of landing papers will not be possible anymore. As
long as you use reputable courier service then you'll have no problems with sending
and receiving back your passport. In some countries you may be required to come in
person to visa post to get your visa, same way as it was before.

To get our passports from our employer is very difficult if we have to reveal that we are in the process of migrating.

is there any solution for this? are officers aware of this?

please answer

Maybe I don't really understand what your problem is, so let's go through some
logical (at least logical to me) elaboration here:

1. If you applied for Canadian immigration visa than it is safe to assume that your
intentions are to immigrate to Canada, aren't they?

2. When you are approved then counterfoil visa will be issued and such must be
affixed in your passport by issuing visa post, the same way visitor visa is. Are
you with me?

3. To travel to Canada with the intention to immigrate here you need a valid passport
and PR visa, correct?

So, if you agree with 1, 2 and 3 above then what is your problem?

This poster has genuine cause for grief. Some companies in the gulf keep the
passports of foreign employees. Also, an exit visa may be required at the time
of leaving.

However, Ganesha_00 needs to ask his prolem on another newsgroup. CIC is not going to
change rules just because of another country's policies. He/She is trying to solve
the problem by looking for solutions which do not involve getting his/her passport
from the employer. No matter what anyone suggests, his only option is to get the
passport from the employer or get a new passport from his/her embassy/government.

Sam,

It still doesn't explain nor excuse anything. If "Ganesha_00" wants to move to Canada
then why s/he is worrying about the Gulf employer? Unless s/he wants to have Canadian
PR status but wants to continue working and living in the Gulf.

but surely they need some way to support themselves during the months or even years
that it will take CIC to give them a chance to become a PR or Canada. Perhaps theya
re worried that this action will cause them to love their jobs and end up in a
horrible situation and then it's no good saying ah but you mey become a PR of Canada,
because that won't change their immediate situation. I think it is a problem many
peopel face when dealing with some employers that at some point you have to tell them
you are applying to emmigrate and then deal with how that affects their attitude to
your job security. But i guess it's all a risk.

We are not talking in this thread about months and years of processing time - we are
discussing the issue of sending passport to visa post after approval of PR
application.

In case of Ganesha_00, probably its true that s/he wants to carry on the job with the
Gulf employer. But my concern is , how practical it would be to handle people's
passports, if people can sell LPs..now they'll get passports aswell to sell as one
complete package !!! and I'm not sure if CHC will send everyones passports via
courier.. also according to some countries law, its illegal to send one's passport or
travel document out of the country via post/courier. I think it'll become more
obvious with time, how many problems are associated with such procedure. So lets see
... as nobody has complete info. about this issue, as some people are still getting
LP's as before and some are asked to send passports !
