How I can Delay Passport Request ????????????????????/

[sbscheema]

I have peculiar question - Canadian Embassy in New Delhi has requested my passport as part of last step in my immigration to Canada BUT unfortunately, I am out of country ( In Australia). Embassy has requested me to submit passport in 30 days, which I CANNOT....as I am in middle of my studies in Australia and it would require me to GO to India and then mail the passport. By law, you cannot mail a passport out of any country so cannot send my passport directly from here...and anyway they will mail it back to India only.

What should I do? Is there any way to request Canadian Embassy to give me some more time to submit my passport? Can I request to stretch the time period from 30 days to like 60 days or more?

Please suggest. I am totally stuck

Regards

Have you tried speaking to someone in New Delhi (Canada Embassy - Immigration dept)?

No, I dont think they entertain phone calls.

I guess worth a try: See contact details below...

Also worth writing to them with all your case details: General Enquiry:   Delhi-im-enquiry  @  international.gc.ca

Goodluck

You can fedex you passport , I did that many times with no problems at all, just mail it to your relatives in India and the can mail it to the embassy

Unless you need your passport quite soon, you can send it to India with a friend who is traveling to India and he could mail it.
You are quite far in the process. My advice, don't blow it off.

if someone is going to india - send it with them to yr family / friend in india
and then ask them to send to new delhi and get it back for u
then if someone is coming to australia then send it in person with them to australia
