Consular services/Not going to Vietnam?

Sad news, sad news, come to where I sleep, turn, turn, turn again...
Vietnam may be a no-go. The Canadian Consulate in ChongQing were very responsive and sympathetic, but unfortunately they didn't have any good news for me.

Mr. Vaughan,

Since January 2006, all Canadian passports are printed in Canada, and the processing time is 15 working days. Therefore, you may get your passport in 4 weeks including posting time.

Once the new passport has been issued, the old passport will be returned to you with one corner cut. The visa on the old passport will remain valid. You must use both passports together until the visa expires.

Regards,
Canadian Consulate in Chongqing
Suite 1705, Metropolitan Tower
Wu Yi Rd, Yu Zhong District 400010
Chongqing, China
86-23-6373-8007
