I did this and by feb 2006 i got a letter asking me for my passport to issue the visa etc.. Now today I received the passport and letter with my visa.
The visa was valid for one time only and valid until may 8 2006.
Q1. I know my medical was submitted in May/June 2005 so is this why my visa expires so soon?
Q2. From what Ive read, I can enter canada , complete the formalities with CIC and leave in a weeks time. regarding my PR card, I will authorize my uncle to conduct business with CIC - he is a citizen of Canada residing in AB.
Can he collect the PR card, if i put his address in the application for PR card?
Thanks for the help
