Hi,
I am working in canada on work permit and my wife also has a valid work permit. we have a multiple entry visa in our passports which is valid till 2009. my wife was supposed to fly today from delhi to toronto but she was not allowed to board the plane because she was told that her visa is void!!!!. Now I was checking my passport as well here, and my passport also has a big zero and then a big line crossing that zero and this is on the visa stamp. I dont know why it was put by the canadian immigration officer when we entered canada? does anyone know if this means that visa is "void" now? She'll go to the embassy on monday but if somebody can throw some light on it, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks
Amit

Hi,
I can only confirm your finding. That symbol defines a value which is ZERO.
If I may venture a guess, you both will have to recall the entire conversation that you both had with the Immigration Officer at the P.O.E. in minute detail and come to a reasonable conclusion why it might have been inserted in BOTH the Passports.
It might cost you another fifty bucks and a months delay too at the Indian End. You can also find out if they have express service for the Visa. But you will have to send your PP, here, to the local Immigration Office and find out WHY? and then rectify it.
This sure is an eye opener.
Thanks for bringing it to the attention of All the CD's and the new entrants.
After your wife returns back here, lodge a serious complaint and see what happens. Good Luck.
Freddie.
