Few Mins back I got another mail, I guess, I got it because of my wife. Right now, she is in Bangladesh and she is accompanied in the application. After getting this email, I am little bit confused that do I still need to make the request for changing the VO for her passport stamping or not ? CIC already took care of that and she can directly submit her passport to local VFS office? Can someone put some light pleaseeeee

Dear XXXXX:
This refers to your application for permanent residence in Canada. The processing of your application is almost complete. Before a permanent resident visa can be issued to you (and your accompanying family members, if applicable), you will need to follow the steps below.
Note: This letter is not a guarantee that a visa will be issued to you.
þ Please submit two (2) passport-sized photos taken within the last six (6) months of you and each of your accompanying family members. Information regarding photo specifications for Permanent Residents can be found here:

***Please note that our photo specifications have recently changed. Please review the information in this guide for the most up-to-date specifications.***
Please do not staple the photos. Enclose the photos of each person in a separate envelope. On each envelope, write your application number and the name of the person whose photos are enclosed. Submit the photos in the same package as the passport(s).
þ Please submit original passports for:
1. You;
2. Your spouse/common-law partner (if applicable); and

Fill out the form we have included as Appendix B and enclose it with your passport(s) and photos.
þ If you or any of your accompanying family members currently holds a valid temporary resident visa, study permit, or work permit for Canada in an expired passport, please submit the expired passport with your current passport.
You must comply with the above requirements within thirty (30) days from the date of this letter. Failure to comply with these instructions may result in the refusal of your application.

How to Submit your Passport(s) and Photos
Applicants who reside in Singapore, Malaysia,
Bangladesh, Cambodia, Indonesia, Thailand, or Vietnam should send their passports to the High Commission of Canada in Singapore through the secure service offered by a Canada Visa Application Centre (CVAC). The service includes two-way secure shipping and tracking. A service charge must be paid for each applicant to cover handling and courier costs. Once processing has been completed, passports will be returned to the CVAC for collection by the applicants. Please note that processing may be longer for passports which are not sent via a Canada Visa Application Centre. Applicants with access to a CVAC are strongly encouraged to utilize this service.
Applicants residing in countries which are not currently serviced by a Canada Visa Application Centre may send passports directly to the High Commission of Canada in Singapore. Please see the instructions below.
PLEASE NOTE: Passports may not be submitted in person to the High Commission of Canada in Singapore.
