Please read carefully all the contents of the mail. They must have to told u to use the option 'reply to the sender'
Also if they have asked for original hard copies, then send hard copies to the address they have mentioned in the email. If the mail is coming from delhi then do all the correspondance with the mentioned visa office.

You got email from dehli so obviously your file is being processed in delhi. Just do as they asked u to. Dont get confused about it. May be after you inquired about your visa office, they moved your file to delhi. So dont worry and just mail them

Hi. My spouse with two kidz were flying to Canada on 20th of april from Lahore. She were refused boarding cause our children ( Canadian Citizens) didnt have NICOP cards. The FIA at the airport said that they need to have NICOP to travel. Even though she had nadra issued birth certificates but that was not enough.

I just dont understand why do you need to have nicop or a cnic to go out of Pakistan. This is suppose to be a prove that one would show when they are entering the country. I mean after all the heart wrecking experiences from cic, now this had to happen. Sad and disappointed.

Another thing to add, FIA also asked her to obtain a Pakistani visa on kidz foreign passport ( Canadian ) which will be another way they will be able to travel out of Pakistan. I still dont get it. Isnt visa suppose to permit you to enter the country. Why we are doing the other way around????? Also is it even legal to get an exit on a visa that has no entry stamp????

FIA also said to her that if she had even applied for the NICOP and can produce receipt of application upon travel they will let the kidz travel out. I mean a receipt would work but birth certificate (Original) issued from the same organization is not enough????

Bro,

My understanding is:

-> If they wish to travel as Pakistanis, then of course NICOP/Pak. passport and visa to Canada is required

-> If they wish to travel as Canadians, then either a visa to Pakistan is required or a NICOP card (which shows them as overseas Pakistanis and is essentially your visa to enter Pakistan is required).

InShaAllah there next attempt at airport will be smooth, hang in there man -- soon they will be with you :)
