Hi Experts,
I'm a landed immigrant and currently residing in Canada. I am looking for answers to three questions regarding my landing paper. 1) I got the immigration almost two and a half year ago and even at that time the impression at my landing paper was not very prominent but it was readable. Over the period of time, it has faded further and now it is not readable at all. My job requires frequent traveling and I have faced problems at the airports where they have questioned the authensity of my landing paper. My question is, under these circumstance, can I get a replacement of my landing paper? Which office I should contact and how long does it take to get a replacement? 2) As you might have seen, there is one box on landing paper which says 'expires ........'. This box tells the expiry of the landing paper if it is not validated before that time (First time of entry in Canada). It further strengthens the doubts of immigration officers if this date has already passed (In my case, it has long passed). Now is there any document I can keep with me to prove them that this landing paper is still valid? 3) Once I came across the situation when the travel agent refused to issue me the ticket thinking my landing paper has expired. I had to go to The Canadian High Commission of that country and get a letter that the landing paper is valid. The immigration officer told me that they have heard about these sort of problems and they are planning to issue a card like 'green card' for immigrants. Have they started issuing these cards or when do they plan to do so? Thanks a lot, N W. |

Request a verification of Entry. It will cost you $30.00, It takes about 30 days to process. If you request it by mail, you will probably have to attend the CIC to pick it up with picture ID. It is a certified true copy of your landing record. > > > is > > > > I doubt very much if that box confuses Canadian Immigration Officers, they know what it means. > > > > > > > they > Permanent Resident Card will probably not be issued until C-11 is passed. Once it is PR card is available, with the number of Immigrants who will require it may take quite a while to issue to previously landed immgrants. PMM > > > > |
