TVR - Single Entry Validity - Need Help

[Aether]

Hello.
I just got my visitor visa approved. They gave me single entry valid until July 4, 2023. The thing is my travel date is July 8, 2023. So my visa will be expired before I can even travel. I have stated my travel date when applying. Is there anything I can do about it?
FYI. My biometric is valid until 2033 and passport until 2027.

What did you apply your visa for?. Tourism?, Business?, visiting family?.

When is your international passport expiring date?

Visiting. Upon applying, I stated that I'm going to visit my boyfriend. Honestly, I am okay with single entry knowing that I don't have much travel history. My issue is solely on visa validity. It's before my travel date.

When is your international passport expiring date?

It's expired in October 2027.

It's expired in October 2027.

That's strange. When did you apply and which country did you apply from

So change your flight plans and enter before the visa expiry. IRCC tells people not to buy a ticket until visa is approved.

Not strange. IRCC has the authority to issue single or multi-entry.

I agree with you. Change your traveling plans to the nearest date before the visa expiration date.

I agree with you. Change your traveling plans to the nearest date before the visa expiration date.

The thing is I can't just change it. I still have a job to come back to and my approved leave is July 8. That's why I specified in my application. So there's really nothing I can do about? Should I just reapply for a new visa?

March 2023. I applied from Indonesia.

Maybe send them a webform. They will probably take some time to respond to you.

How long do they normally take to respond?

How long do they normally take to respond?

It depends. For my case, I sent them a message and they responded in 10 days.

And IRCC changed the entry date on the TRV to a few days later? This is the issue. OP has a TRV so IRCC doesn’t need to respond. IRCC doesn’t care when you want to travel. IRCC decides.
