Hi All.
I am asking the same urgent question again for this thread for my issue in sending Passport from India.
I have lived in Canada as a worker(postdoc) for the past three years. This year, while living in Canada,
I had applied for my Canadian permanent residency in CPP-O in Jan 27, 2013. I came to India in May 2013 to join a job here,though my Canadian work permit expiry is April 2014.
As I already mentioned earlier, I received a letter of confirmation from CIC on 28th Oct13 for my Canadian Permanent Residency. As per the letter,
I have been asked to mail in my passport to CPP-O. To courier passport from India to overseas is not legal, that in most countries this is not even permitted .So, in reality no option to send Passports for stamping from CPP-O and get it back.
I am deep in trouble, as I need to send my passport to CPP-O immediately for stamping.
I realise that this is a special case. Since I am in India.
I learn from the Indian Postal Department that Indian Government does not allow Postal Department or
any private or international courier to accept Passports for delivery in any foreign country.
But i called DHL this morning & the agent said Yes, but with authorized letter from MEA, India.
My question here is which is safest way to send PP and to get it back to my Indian address from CPP-O ?
Since I have to act upon it within 60 days, please advise me on the above matter ASAP and share your experience!
A prompt reply will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks & regards
