Sending PASSPORT to India from Canada!! Please Suggest**URGENT**

[Indocanda]

Hi All,

I have got my medicals on Nov 8 and I need to send all the documents along with Passport within 60 days. Currently I'm working in Canada in a work permit and cannot travel soon. I have two options to send the passport for stamping.

1. Send all the documents along with passport through courier service (heard it is illegal)
2. Send all the documents through someone who would be travelling to India with an authorization letter.

Can anyone please advise what is the easiest way for me to send the passport from Canada? It is bit urgent. If anybody was in this situation earlier and have sent the passport to Indian through any method, please respond.

1. You're right - this is illegal. So this isn't an option.
2. This is the option you should select if you cannot travel to India yourself.

Thanks for the response! I have also read that there are people who have sent the passport to India through courier and it was delivered without any problem.

Is there anybody in the forum who has faced the same issue? Please respond.

Yes u can send ur passport n other documents to India via courier but make sure to give your Indian address to NDVO in order to send ur passport back bcoz ndvo don't send passport to canada directly or if they send then it will come by snail mail in 2 months, so its better to provide ur indian address to ndvo and then any of ur friend or relative can send ur passport back to u thru courier.

put your indian address in your passport and also send cover letter to NDVO with your indian address on it n requesting them to send ur paasport on this address...dnt forget to put ur immigration file number, full name, contact info and also ur signature in the bottom.

I hope this will help...

Hi,
My friend who has landed in Toronto 2 month ago, has send his passport to UK so that her wife can get her lost driving licence reissue (in short - he changed uk address 3 month before coming to canada. Lost his uk driving licence and for lost uk licence if you need on new address then DVLA need passport to verify his identity) . UK driving licence got issue in 2 week and when her wife send that passport and new driving licence back to canada by DHL Courrier that time Canada custom has held his parcel or over 2 week in name of investigation.
Whenever he called them they say they can't comment and doing some checks ,and they don't know how much time it will take .

As UK driving licence with passport showing everything so he got his passport and DL without much problem after 3 weeks.

You should note the discussion is about sending the passport to India, which is in violation of Indian laws. Sending to the UK doesn't violate Canadian or UK laws.

For your info sending passport outside country is illegal anywhere but custom normally overlook matter if thats being send for legimate reason.

Thats what shown in previous post that Canadian custom hold parcel for 3 weeks and release only after they done there checks.
And its got release as Canadian govt / official are not croupt as Indian officers. So mind even before thinking to send it to India by post.
Even if you send it by hand then also its illegal .
It may be case that Canadian embassy in India hold that passport and called you for interview in that case you will be stuck.

Best is to go India and get your PR stamped. You can explain your employer that its an emergencey and you need to go .

People do try to use short cuts and go through succesfully. But if they get stuck then they had to suffer .

Your post is totally irrelevant... You can send an Indian passport out of the country with proper authorization letter...

Did anybody went through the same situation? did anybody used courier service to send the passport to Indian from Canada? If we have anybody in this forum, please respond.

Hi

I am in the same situation as you are. My mom is here in Canada with me but i recvd the Nov 8th letter fr medicals, PCC and passport. I checked with a lawyer here in Tornto and she said it is safe to send it via courier directly to the embassy and this is what the embassy have asked to do so as per the letter. I am taking a chance and will be sending my mom's passport via courier by next week to India. Meanwhile, you can also let me kow as to what you have decided in this matter.

Did you read the India passport? Is the lawyer going to retrieve it, if it is seized by Indian customs? CHC ND won't send the passport to anything other than an address in India.

Yes, i read the Indian passport and dont think so the lawyer is going to retrieve it. I am taking this chance since i have absolutely no one in India to help me out with this situation. All i can do if its seized is report the authorities here and try making a duplicate one (hopeso). For India, i have one address which i will be giving for passport return and when that happens its another battle to bring it here. My mom is here from the past 3 years as we have been extending her visa and now she has her extensiontill next Dec 2013. I am just taking this chance and spoke to multiple lawyers who have said this happens always and they have mailed the ppts to India.

Dont know how far this is true. But yes have heard in other forums and this forum about passport reaching safely and also not reaching safely.

I am just praying that ours and all those who are taking this step the passport should reach safely.

I took the chance and sent passports for visa stamping in August. It was delivered at the CH, New Delhi on 1st September. I got the PR and passports with visa on 20th Nov. Now the hastle begins, no courier would knowingly accept passports to be sent OUT FROM iNDIA. WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO BRING IT TO US AT THE EARLIEST.

 

[Indocanda]

Can you please let me know which courier service you choose to send the passports to India? I might be doing the same thing from here as my PCC is getting delayed. I would be asking more time from CHC, DELHI if my PCC is delayed and I cannot meet the 60 days timeframe. Please let me know the courier service and the days it took to reach Delhi. Your help would be greatly appreciated!
