This refers to your application for permanent residence in Canada.

Visas can only be issued to a maximum validity of 12 months from the date of the medical examination. (If your family had medical examinations on different dates, the visas will all be valid for 12 months from the date of the first medical examination). However, if any passports expire before 12 months from the date of the medical examination your visas will expire on the date that the first passport expires. If your passports are due to expire, it is in your interest to send us NEW OR UPDATED PASSPORTS to ensure that your visas can be issued with maximum validity.

5.

THERE IS SOME THINGS IN THIS EMAIL THAT I DONT UNDERSTAND VERY WELL.

-THE FIRST THING IS, THEY WANT HER PASSPORT SEND BY FEDEX OR TCS AND IT HAS TO BY PREPAID. WHAT DOEST THE PREPAID MEAN? SHE HAS TO PUT A PREPAID ENVELOPE IN THE SAME PAKAGE WITH HER PASSPORT?
IT IS POSSIBLE TO POST FROM PESHAWAR PAKISTAN? THE TCS OR FEDEX COURRIER COMPANY HAVE PREPAID ENVELOP IN PESHAWAR?

-THE SECOND THING IS, THEY ARE SAYING THAT THEY WILL NOT SEND BACK HER PASSPORT BY REGISTERED MAIL? THIS MEAN THAT THE PREPAID ENVELOP MUST NOT BE REGISTERED?

THANK YOU FOR THE RESPONS AND I HOPE THIS WILL HELP OTHER WITH THE SAME PROBLEM

They are saying that they will not sent back the passport back in Afghanistan. She has to provide a valid Pakistani Address to Canadian Embassy so they can sent her passport over there. Or She has to authorize someone in Pakistan to receive the passport on her behalf.

I guess you have to contact fedex or tcs un pakistan. I remember in karachi, fedex charge you for the return of documents as well when you sent your documents through fedex.

Sometimes islamabad also sent the passport back to the address provided on cash on delivery. I had to pay tcs one time on delivery.

Your best bet is that you can contact islamabad or ask some one in pakistan to get the information from tcs or fedex. They do know about the process.

For those who need to know how I send the passport this is the answer. My wife have been in Peshawar Pakistan and she posted the passport with TCS and ask them to put a prepaid envelop with it. The passport returns back to Peshawar with visa stamp 35 days later.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE OF AFGHANS (Afghanistan), make sure that in the passport, the family name is the family name of the person not is father first name, because there is a wide practice in Afghanistan where they write the first name of the farther instead of the family name of the person passport. If it is the case Please change the name or there will be a lot of problem in Canada. If this is your case, they will stamps the visa but remember went the person will be in Canada there will be a lot of problems with the name.
