Based on other people who posts on this forum, it seems recently Pakistan changed their procedure. Previously for paper applications they collect the biometrics and passport on the same time. But now a days, they never collect the passport. Only when a visa is granted, then they will collect. Maybe the status was not yet update. But the status just simply means you application was forwarded to CVO Islamabad.
Since the Canadian Embassy is on Islamabad, applications coming from CVO Lohore and CVO Karachi will be forwarded to CVO Islamabad. CVO Islamabad will then submit it to the Canadian Embassy for screening.
