Photo of a Canada or USA Residence visa

8 years ago
Hello all,
I am hoping someone from Canada or the USA can send me a photo of a residence visa.
As I mentioned in a previous post, we are have a ton of grief in Canada trying to get the correct visa.
In the last post I stated we were told there is no residence visa by the Vancouver consulate and told to apply for and were given a Schengen visa. $90 each
I know these are issued on arrival for free but that is what happened. We are visiting friends in Arizona now and were notified by Email or visas were in.
The last few days have been even more confusing.
I spoke to the consulate in Toronto and that person said that the Schengen visa is wrong (I already knew that) and that I need a residence visa. ( I already knew that too). I told him about the Vancouver consulate and that no one there answers the phone or Emails so he said the best he could do is Email.
Then I called the Ottawa Embassy again and the woman there told me the residence visa has Schengen on the top of it so it might be the right one. I have never seen one so I don't know if I have the correct visa.
I am scheduled to fly Vancouver again and pick up the visas in two weeks. If the visas are wrong, all booked flights are going to need to be changed. That won't be cheap!!
Is there someone on this forum who can scan or take a photo of a North American residence visa and put it up somehow for me to see?
