Choice 1: Miss the Canada leg of the World Cup. And maybe a 5 - 10 yrs Canada visa entirely.
Choice 2: Miss the first 4/5 days of the World Cup, lose โฌ1500 other bookings you may have made, but gain a Canada visa and be able to travel across the host cities.
Real catch 22.
I booked a flight to the USA about a month ago for โฌ1,400. Today, the very day I'm supposed to travel, my Canadian visa was approved.
The problem? I have to wait to get my visa
I can't also cancel or change the flight
โฌ1,400 down the drain
