Finally today Nov. 16, 2022 it changed to ISSUED!
We thought about filing WOM and had a consultation with one of the lawyers suggested here. We decided not to after the consultation. If you have any questions for me, I am happy to answer!
Here's my question if any of you can answer:
Once I receive my passport, can I cross the border and come back to Canada to take care of things here? Or is it a single entry visa that I can cross only once?
Thanks!
