i got a letter instead of pkt 3

I got a letter from the vancouver consulate saying they only process K3 visas for canadian citizens. well i am a canadian citizen.

i was born in england so maybe they think i am a british citizen. anybody had this issue before?

thanks

I never had that but I think you must contact them and send them paper that prove you are Canadian citizen and copy of your ID in canadian and your Canadian passport ..you need to call them and explain this to the Embassy and then send these papers to them.

But this sounds funny don't you have in your marriage papers your nationality and did not you send your USC spouse copy of your passport to send to the package?

there was no papers in the package that says YOU ARE CANDIAN??

I hope you will get that solved soon

Good Luck

I am also a Canadian citizen born in England but I haven't experienced this problem. Did you happen to enter British Subject on your application anywhere other than listing it under dual citizenship? That may have caused the confusion.

there is nowhere on the application that asks if i am a citizen of the country to which the stuff will be sent!

i took digital pics of my passport and emailed it to them...they said they would send my package today. so i received two emails from them in one day...that is great service.

the only problem is canada post is soooooo slow...the letter was sent may 19 and arrived today...so i have just added 11 days to the procvess.

Grrr. I agree with you about Canada Post. They're the worst. I'm not sure if they're responsible, or the Consulate is responsible, for me never receiving my Package 3. But it delayed my process by almost two months.

That's wonderful news, though, that they're sending you out the package today. We all know it could have been oh so much worse! Congratulations!
