Assalam-o-Alliqum to All,
Alhamdullillah, I just received a letter from LVO, asking me to submit my passport at Visa Application Centre (VAC) in London.
I am currently in Germany due to my work assignment, and you know when you are in foreign-land your biggest ID is your passport. The letter clearly says that LOV will keep my passport for alteast 4 weeks, so I must not travel during these days. That's ok and I will not travel during this time. I applied for Immigration when I was in Pakistan, last year.
My Questions:
1. Does all the Pakistani Applicants have to send their passport to LVO via courier etc. Then I think they also return your passport via courier ? Canadian embassy/office in Islamabad/Pakistan are of no use here for Pakistani Applicants in Pakistan?
2. In this way, there is no Biometric Authentication for Pakistani Applicants, like fingerprint scan etc at this point?
3. I hope some of the Pakistani fellows have been at my stage, so what do you recommend.... is it safe for me to be in Germany without my passport for 4 weeks. Yes, I will keep a copy of my passport and VISA when I will send my original passport the LVO.
Thanks,
Asad
