Subject: Missed the pemanent immig. visa expiry date???
  My permanent immigration visa expiry date was July 26, 2008 (as skilled worker). I had my flight ticket 2 days prior to that date to become landed in Canada but I had a misfortune with the health and didn´t take the flight. My diagnosis was a major lumbago and at the same time suspect blood clot in my left leg.

I took the flight a week after my expiry date when I was feeling better but the immigration officer at Pearson airport in Toronto canceled my visa and told me that I have to contact the Canadian High Commission in London.

What can I do now? Is there any possible way to get the visa extend it??? I have documentation of my tickets and from the hospital. When I called CIC in London, they told me there is not much to do and I have to apply for permanent residency again

Thank you for any advices you can give me in this issue

Elmira,

You have to re-apply again. There is no extention for this type of visa.

Cheers

From I know and heard, the immigration is VERY strict regarding the expiry date of the visa. For certain reason, the visa can not be extended under no condition..If expires, you have to re-apply and start everything from the beginning.
