Still waiting for her passport, a Manitoba woman scheduled for surgery in Fargo, USA, was forced to cancel her six-year waiting operation, once again finding herself on the waiting list.
Since her request was sent on March 31, Bernice Daudet should have received her passport before May 2, according to the information given to her. However, he still received nothing at the beginning of June.
” I wanted to apply for an express passport, but I was asked to write to the surgeon as proof. However, the surgeon needed my passport to schedule the operation and give me the letter. “
Bernice Daudet was unable to follow up the file online or contact agents via a form, because they asked her for a file number that she did not have.
” Without spinal surgery, I would end up in a wheelchair and possibly die. I do not know what to do. “
Bernice Daudet tried to contact the office of her representative, Dan Vandal.
Contacted by Radio-Canada, a spokesman for Dan Vandal explained that MPs ’offices can help citizens in their constituencies make their request, but they have no possibility of obtaining information or advance a file submitted to Passport Canada.
The office added, however, that many people turned to Dan Vandal in an attempt to seek help while waiting for their passports.
I was so angry
Madame Daudet’s life was more complicated. He could no longer write on the computer because of the shoulder pain that spread to his hand. He could no longer move easily, and could no longer work.
I only get $ 400 a month from my pension plan, I still don’t have enough to pay my rent, ”she explains. I paid $ 160 for my passport. I can do nothing, and if I don’t accept it I will lose everything.
” I’m furious, and I’m sure I’m not the only one in this situation. “
Radio Canada contacted Service Canada to get more information about the number of people in the same situation as Ms. Daudet.
Without offering an answer on this topic, the federal agency contacted Manitoban to let him know that his passport would be sent to him as soon as possible.
Bernice Daudet has already canceled her operation in Fargo, assuming her travel document will not arrive at the right time.
