I have a morning appointment at CW to extend my OA-based extension of stay.

When I try to make an afternoon appointment for a re-entry permit, as soon as I enter my passport number, the system asks something like "You want to make a new appointment?"

My question is, can I have two appointments the same day?  Or will making the new appointment cause the system to cancel the 1st appointment (which I obviously don't want). 

thanks

IME, No.

 

Only one appointment per passport number.  

 

If you try to make/add a second appointment the first one gets deleted.

 

Could you spoof the system, maybe by making a mistake? Who knows.

 

 

Re-entry permit used to have its own, separate appointment system, but that may have gone away with the new system?

 

That said, the re-entry permit section will be dead. Just have the TM.8 ready, copy your new permission to stay from your passport. Should be done in minutes.

OP, read above post. That info is accurate.

If you have not made your second appointment then Do Not.

I assume first appointment was for extension. Leave that in place. 

A second appointment will kill off your first.

In any event reentry permit desk will most likely have zero queue. You do realize that you can obtain reentry at airport.

I can confirm this. Last week I did my non-O retirement extension at CW using an appointment (40 minutes including document check at L1-27, processing at L1-32, and waiting for the passport to come back with the supervisor's approval), and after getting the photocopy of the new extension, the total time for the reentry permit - with no appointment - was about 12 minutes from receiving the queue number to getting the passport back from the staff.

Bit off topic but, I made an online appointment yesterday..(16th) and all went well.

But I thought they were suppose to email something to show when I checked in?

I went back and checked and all the info is there. 

I wrote down the booking number. Will that be enough?

Thanks
