I understand absolutely zero of the context here and doubt anyone can answer your question without more info.
And most of all why you sent your passports from Pakistan to Ottawa, usually one would submit the passport locally (eg to embassy through the visa application centre).
Yes i am also confused. thankyou i also think the same, will have to mail in embassy here Pakistan
It looks like you have applied for PR under Express Entry. If that's correct, you need to post your questions to the Express Entry section of the forum rather than here.
Yes i got earlier passport request letter 7 months before and then i sent passports to Ottawa but later they came to know we are residing in Pakistan
This error has been happening since 2015. I recall several EE outland applicants from India were asked to send passports to Ottawa. At the time, the advise that was provided on this forum was to inform IRCC that the applicant actually resides in India and not in Canada. Soon after the applicant sent the webform request, they got another email requesting them to submit the passports to High Commission of Canada in New Delhi via VFS.
Generally, you are NOT supposed to send the passports via mail across international borders.
Looks like you applied while in Canada. Did you update your address to Pakistan? When it was discovered you didn't live in Canada your passports were returned. Stamping will need to be done via Pakistan.
I have mailed them via web form so should i wait for their answer now? Thanks again, for your time.
Yes i applied from Canada, and then after sending passports i updated address of Pakistan bcz i got stuck here in Pakistan due to Covid and flights were closed thats why dint get back
