Sending passport outside current residance country its against law. you will be in trouble if your passport will lost, if custom border people scan documents parcel and they found passport in the parcel.
I guess you understand..
Thanks,

Why do u want to send it to Canada for stamping.
New Delhi will issue Visa and I believe you have submitted all ur documents to New Delhi Office or buffalo ?

if he not submitted at N.delhi office or he submitted in some other country office as he mentioned than he have to transfer his case to local office and it will be take time upto 6months.
but bottom line is do not send your passport outside your current residence country.

Thank you. Actually my files are getting processing at Buffalo, NY. I had applied when I was in Canada. Now My Visa is expired and I am in India. So, i am facing this difficulty. Please advice whether it is possible to authorize some one and he can take passport for stamping.

Reshma123 , if you send hand to hand by some friends or some trusted person thats fine, if you sent by courier or registered post than its problem for the person who sending Passport outside the home country or current residence country. as per passport rules its illegal to send passport outside your current residence country.

Amit05, the only option I see is to transfer file to India adn accept the delay.

Sending passport out of country is against law and may land you in trouble

Dear Amit

It is illegal to send Passport out of country by post.

There is a provision that passport can be with a authorized person (it does not say that you can send it out of country with authorized person)

If transfering the file adds 2 to 4 more thans than I recommend transfering the file to ND CHC.

Thank you every one for guiding me. I am not sending it by Post from India. It seems authorizing some trusted person seems an option.
As, transferring the file to Delhi does not seem possible. Please suggest what all docuements need if authorize someone. Like any specific format we have for authorization.
