Hi,
I have my passport with visa stamped and COPR but I have not received the original documents I had sent at the time of applying. This includes my original birth certificate, marriage certificate and university degree! Can someone guide me as to when CIC will return these documents? And will they be returned to me (the applicant) or my spouse (the sponsor). I am flying to Canada in 2 weeks so its going to be quite a hassle for me if they decide to send it to my Karachi address.
Can anyone in the similar situation please guide me??
You can send them an email about it and it can only be returned to an address in Canada.

i have no visa card and visa card issue in 6 months after submit application in bank for this but i need to pay my fee in 20 days then how can i pay my fee?/ plzz tell another way
Ask someone in Canada to pay via credit card and you can pay them back. Since you are not in Canada there is no other way to pay. You can pay at a Canadian bank/Western union as well but for that you need IM5401 form from CIC, they can only mail out the form to a Canadian address [you can't download it]. So quickest way will be to ask someone who is in Canada to pay via credit card and email you the receipt.

Hopefully this will be a lesson for anyone who is thinking not to pay all fees during application submission.

It is not a big issue. Payment can be made through CREDIT CARD from Pakistan. Almost all banks's cards (credit not debit cards) can be used for payments over internet by just activating "E-commerce" activity. If you don't have any, find any friend who has one. Now a days, almost every 3rd person has a credit card. I think Alflah bank can issue card in 15 days. Otherwise find any friend, pay him the amount and ask him to pay for you through his card.

You can pay online or at a bank/western union, if paying at the bank you would need to request IMM5401 form mailed to your Canadian address.

Hello everyone, it's been almost 5 weeks my wife sent her passport to Islamabad and hasn't received it back yet...do you guys think it would be wise to order GMCS notes to find out what the delay is or do you think we should just wait and see what happens?
Aap ki file London main hai ya Islamabad main? aur passport ki copies aapne kaise send kari thin? aur us main kitna time laga tha?

please advise me. here is my situation. my wife was asked to submit a pcc from a foreign country in nov 2013. we sent a letter to the islamabad office telling them that we had applied for the pcc and they should give us some time. we got the foreign pcc in april 2014 and submitted it to islambad office. tcs said it was delivered on april 23 2014. today i got my gsmc notes and in the notes they acknowledge receiving the letter asking for more time but they do not mention receiving the pcc itself!

i emailed islamabad many times asking if they received it and they never replied. my wife even emailed a scanned copy of the pcc and tcs receipt asking them to confirm if they received it. no response from them!

i emailed ottawa today and they basically said the same thing as my notes. ottawa was were my file used to be and they usually respond to your emails unlike islamabad. so is my pcc lost? could it be islamabad received it but forgot to update the notes?

apart from that- my gcms notes were good..the relationship is genuine and eligibility passed and all that good stuff..it looks like the foriegn pcc is holding my case up! what should i do??? :mad:
I am in the same boat....We were asked in Jan 2014 and submitted in Apr 2014 but as per recent notes nothing is written

If it eases your mind, I too never saw acknowledgement of recieved docs at New Delhi ( FBI Clearance specifically ) - they are not as diligent when updating GCMS - as long as you have courier copy, copy of PCC handy, and your emails to them - don't worry about it

They didn't update it till the end ( GCMS after landing )
Any idea how long would they take for PPR after PCC submitted?
