H1B Stamping Dropbox in Canada

[get2sathya]

@Snape09 May I know if you are on a PR in Canada? I am on a closed work permit and my first time getting H1B visa stamp.

I selected YES on the "Select the Conditions That Apply to This Applicant" page, then it shows that I need to send the documents. The reason I selected "YES" is that on the first page "Country of Permanent Residence", it says "select the country where you are granted permission to work, study".

Are you in the same boat?

I also did the same mistake by answering "YES" to this question! - I am on a closed work permit and first time getting H1B visa stamp.

I am planning to send the documents & passport in a week.
Did you send the documents and passport? What was the response?

FYI. For Permanent residents, visa stamp had an additional annotation claiming "Canadian Permanent Resident". During in-person interviews, they used to check for the PR card even before the interview.
