Hi guys,

Received ITA on 6 March. Compiling LOEs for various sections. For my passport section, I have made the following LOE format. Do you guys think it's okay or is it providing too much information that's not asked for? Tips and feedback are requried!

P.S. my international travel was less than a month each time

TIA

Subject: Letter of Explanation – Passport/Travel Documents


Attached: (1) Expired Passport and Passport Number (2) Expiry Date of Expired Passport (3) Visa and Immigration Stamps for Karachi-Thailand-Karachi international travel (4) Visa and Immigration Stamps for Karachi-Malaysia-Thailand-Karachi international travel (5) Issue Date and Passport Number of Renewed Passport (6) Spill Marks on Damaged Passport (7) Receipt of Replacement of Damaged Passport (8) Valid Passport



Karachi, 1st May 2019



Dear Officer,


I am writing you this letter to explain some points that might have caught your attention when considering the attached documents relating to the Passport section. Please find the explanations below:


§ I first had my passport made in 2012 with passport number ABC123 (see Attachment 1)

§ My first passport as shown in Attachment 1 is now expired and contains Visas and Immigration entry/exit stamps for all my international travel history (see Attachment 2 for Expiry Date)

§ As mentioned in my application, my first international travel was from Karachi to Thailand and Back to Karachi for which my passport page 5 is attached (see Attachment 3)

§ My second and last international travel was from Karachi to Malaysia; from Malaysia I went to Thailand and then came back to Karachi, for which my passport pages 3 & 4 are attached (Attachment 4)

§ My passport was renewed in 2017 with the same passport number ABC123 (see Attachment 5 for Issue Date/Passport Number); however, this passport got damaged as my child accidentally spilled some liquid on it (see Attachment 6 for spill marks, see Attachment 7 for receipt of replacement of damaged passport)

§ I received my replacement of damaged passport on 5th April 2019 with updated passport number ABC124 (old passport number: ABC123) (see Attachment 8)

§ Please be advised that all my documents like experience certificates/police certificates bear my old passport number as they were made before I received my new passport with updated passport number and that both passport numbers belong to me


I am of course at your disposal to provide you with any additional documents that you deem useful for the processing of my electronic Application for Permanent Residence (e-APR).


Thank you in advance for the time devoted to the treatment of my e-APR.

AoA, Kamil i have also recieved ITA in end of June Draw. By this time now i hope you have got answers to your query one way or another. I wanted to know that is attaching a Letter of Explanation for your travel history required since I have only scanned all my passports and visa stamps pages in one PDF file and am planning to upload that without any LOE attached. Hoping to hear from you soon as my deadline is pretty close. Regards and Cheers.

Walaikumussalam.... although I'm yet to receive ppr, what I did after going through forums and replies is attach an LOE but only to explain that my passport number changed due to expiry and renewal...also, i uploaded all pages of passport, even blank ones.

separate documents need to be prepared. however, don't attach LOE just for the sake of it. only use LOE to explain a situation that otherwise might confuse the immigration officer. Like I didn't use LOE when uploading my degrees and transcripts since it was straightforward. I only uploaded LOE for passport because my previous one got damaged and I had to make a new one.

Hi there!
I wanted to know whether I would need to attach LOE in the relevant heads where it is required or should I prepare a combined LOE and attach it PDF in the LOE section?

Did you submit your application? With LOE in separate section or wirte a single letter explaining different sections together and uploaded in LOE section?
