Which vfs did your husband go to? Islamabad?heela said:Well they won't have a passport so I believe that they have to stay in Pakistan until the passport is returned.
I do know that they get a form stating that the passport is in the visa office but I'm not sure if they can travel with that.
TBH the tracking number basically updates 3 times. 1. it tells you that it was received by the Visa Application Centre. 2. It was dispatched to the Canada Visa Office. 3. It has been processed and sent back to the Application Centre where your spouse will be contacted to pick it up.
P.S. My hubby got his visa this morning. It took exactly 3 weeks to get it!
