Any help is appreciated -- hope this is a good place to post this.
Is CoPR doc received by mail? Or at the interview office?
I am confused with my situation. I received an email inviting me to an interview (pasted below). I am going to be outside of Canada during that date and requested a reschedule by email (as it mentioned to do so in the email) but haven't heard back. It's not an emergency but I am out of town so that's my reason. I do not have the CoPR (but not sure that I would have been sent one?)
Basically --
1. I am worried that my reschedule request got lost and it'll mess things up.
2. I am reading that I can do my landing interview at a border instead of with appointment. Would be great! And faster likely. Cause that would mean, when I come back to Canada in in a couple weeks, I can get confirmed then? But I don't have a CoPR....
I received this by email ----
