I have a question you know how when its time to go to the visa office to get your pr visa, you need to sign an authorization form for another person to get it on your behalf well my wife signed the papers and also put a fingerprint on there, do you think that will be accepted or not? I told her to just sign your name but I am not sure she is telling me she put her fingerprint as that is the custom in Libya of signing papers I told her we don`t do that here in Canada so now I am afraid it wont be accepted by the embassy can anyone fill me in on this? would it be a problem? I am not sure I am kinda mad at her right now you know the security situation on the border and no flights between tunisia and libya and I have until August 8th or they will close the file I am very worried that's gonna happen personally I wouldn't see why if she signed it and added her fingerprint as addition but you never know the people at the embassy I already have my travel plans reserved to go and get her but won't be in time to do anything I just don't know what to do she sent her passport too and all the papers but just the fingerprint not sure if they will see it as an addition or not, they don't have her fingerprint anyway so not sure if that will just confuse everything
Just found out that its a requirement for visitor visa so that's where she may have got it from but its coming soon for PR so not sure if they will take it I don't think it should cause a problem though

hi besboosa
well your situation its very easy , the thing is paris visa office sent your wife a letter requesting here passport , so as she is a resident of libya they give her the two following choices :
Residents of Libya The Canada Visa Application Center (VAC) in Tripoli is currently closed.
In order to submit your passports, please choose one of the following options: * Submit your passport(s) in person or by a third party with the authorization to represent you (authorization may be found on page 6 of this document) to the nearest VAC, including the VAC in Tunis. To find out where the nearest VAC is, please consult the following website: https://www.vfsglobal.ca/Canada/Index.html. Service fees may apply. * Present yourself at The Embassy of Canada in Tunis either in person or by a third party with the authorization to represent you (authorization may be found on page 6 of this document), on Mondays and Wednesdays from 9 am to 10 am (except bank holidays). You must bring with you your Laissez-passer TUNIS (found on page 7) The address of the Embassy of Canada in Tunis is: Rue de la Feuille d’Érable Cité des Pins, lot 24 Les Berges du Lac II Tunis 1053, Tunisia .
so your wife i think she sent passport by poste to VAC in tunise in this case she only need to send fees for transimission of her passport to canadian embassy in paris , and fees for returnin her passport by courier .
she don't need fingerprind as this option for applicants requesting temporary visa (tourist,study,work permit) .
AUTHORIZATION TO RELEASE VISAS TO A THIRD PARTY it's only if someone going in your behalf to vac in tunisia , so its not applicable in your case .
