13A New Card Process

@cdmaningo

That's very true , ppl automatically assume the 5 years is the visa validity when in fact it is the card's validity as you rightfully stated.

The nice lady at our local IB said you just hand in your 1 year probationary card and get the 5 year in its place , like a trade 😁.

I'm still at the very beginning of the process, think back to your NBI clearance days 😅

@omarwebber111 I'm at the 5 year mark. Wondering how hard it's going to be and how long it will take.

omarwebber111, that nice lady lady is incorrect and she works at BI?

You go through the same application process just like the one year probationary and pay fees and come back some weeks or months later.
