Hi Shahid,
I received PPR on 14-Dec, 2018. Submitted Passport to VFS office, Al Khobar Saudi Arabia. Can you let me know the exact number of days it took for you to get the passport back from VAC/VFS.
Further, at VAC/VFS office, they initially declined to accept my wife's passport as the her passport did not have her family name in Machine Readable Zone (MRZ). however i insisted that if i request Indian embassy to update her name, this will change the passport and the passport number. my application in which my wife is dependent is based on this passport. if the passport and the passport number changes, it will further complicate things. based on this explanation they accepted my passports.
Kindly let me know if having full name on the machine readable zone is a requirement of Canadian embassy. should i expect rejection of passport from the embassy. if yes, if i have to change the passport, how will update the new passport and pp number in application.
your earliest response would be much appreciated. i am quite anxious.
Thanks
Umair
