Now I got 3 queries
- Is this the same mail everyone got for their Passport Request?
- I did my medical exam before depositing my application back in March. I am expected to redo another or send the same one I did 7 months ago? It is worth noting I did not receive an extra mail with the medical forms as stated above. I wrote to Dakar Canadian Embassy immediately yet to get a reply from them.
- Lastly there was no attachment to my mail for Updated Information Chart as mentioned in point 7 and neither has there been an update on my application since I had my AOR.
I really need your help anyone to clarify this will be a relief
Thanks
