Travel Via 3rd country/ Stamping in 3rd country and then travel to canada

[Devil76]

Exactly as I thought. Why would one travel to another country when they could just courier it. I've asked many people, they all said only for biometrics this is possible.

sending passport abroad through courier is illegal

as far as i know u can send your passport to other VFS center is the ircc office is outside your country.

for example in Tunisia we have Tunis ircc office + embassy + vac
in libya there was Embassy and VAC but due to security reasons they stopped their services. so Libyan applicants must do their bio and send passports to Tunisia. because in IRCC website the vac and ircc for libya is Tunis.

even if your application was processes in ottawa for example and u are from Denmark for example. you need to send your passport to VAC denmark

Can Indian applicants send it to a 3rd country?

I do recall reading on Canada in India Twitter account where they advised against it, also what if your passport gets lost in transit? Why to risk that? If you were traveling somewhere else or were visiting that country then it’s a different thing.
I do recall reading explicitly that they said you can stamp it in another country only if you are there to wait until you receive it back. So I guess that means courier isn’t the option.

That’s what I am trying to explain
Other VFS’s are ready to get it stamped
Ethiopia: Walkin passport submission
Egypt/Turkey: Through courier(International on own risk)

I know of people who applied in India but got it stamped in UAE and KSA but they DIDN’T COURIER IT, they were present there.

My PPR is expiring in a few days, will they accept a expired PPR in Ethopia? What visa would I need to enter Ethopia?

Don't know what the right option is.. to wait for VFS or to rush to Ethopia to get my passport stamped. People are saying VFS will open in India, in December. Impossible to wait so long

Hey keep us updated abut Ethiopa.

I don't mind trying that route, purely because it will be a bonus adventure trip before Canada

tbh i would not complicate it and risk it. i would follow the instructions that were posted by Canada in India.
