VAC vs. VO - Passport submission

[KT_2017]

Hello,

For submitting the passport after u get passport request letter, what would be the main difference between going through a visa application center and couriering directly through aramex to the visa office?

VAC takes ur money n sends to VO anyways correct?

also, do we have to use only aramex? or can we use any company?

Submit your passport at the visa office

Mail In

To submit by mail or courier, you must include your passport, a copy of the request letter, as well as a self-addressed Aramex pre-paid return airway bill OR a self-addressed (C4 or C5 sized) envelope with the following information clearly typed or written:

• Your complete name
• Your complete physical address (NO P.O. BOX)
• Your phone number (country code + area code + phone number)
• Alternative contact information (country code + area code + phone number), if applicable.

Failure to do so will result in a delay in processing your application.

You have only two options for submitting your passport to the Abu Dhabi visa office: Either submit it to VFS/VAC or mail it through Aramex to the visa office.

For the Mail In option, only Aramex has been mentioned (which has been approved by IRCC). So, don't use a different courier/mail service. If your passport is lost/misplaced then you cannot hold the Abu Dhabi visa office responsible for it

right, however I guess my question is what is the difference between us submitting through vfs or submitting directly through aramex to abu dhabi?
doesn't the vfs do exactly the same thing?

It's obvious

I don't know what answer you want.

IRCC specifications are quite clear:
Either you submit the passport yourself through Aramex to the Abu Dhabi visa office.... or you pay VFS to transmit your passport to/from the visa office for you
