Please be advised that your passports and landing documents will be returned to you shortly by our office in Islamabad.

Does anyone tell me what is the exact definition of term '' Shortly '' like How many days ? any estimation ?

Your views will be highly appreciated ...!

Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah,

I Got my passport back today from VAC office karachi. It was dispatched on 11th march. I received the call on 12pm to collect it.
It was greatly fast (12 days) compared to 45 days of TCS.
I hope everyone get to their loved ones soon.
I have spent my fair share apart from my wife.
6 years engaged and 1.5 year of marriage and we only spent couple of months together. Still Love is all worth it.
Thank you all for your prayers and best wishes.
I will at least spend a month helping others on this forum after i move to Canada inshaAllah
so keep me in your prayers.
I have seen new members who are ready to take senior member's place very soon. :)

Regards,
Zam
Congratulations bro!
Stay blessed☺

Hi ijaved,

Thanks for sharing your post.
I have added to the timeline spreadsheet.
Thanks Mercy24 for putting me up on the excel file. It is very helpful in calculating and comparing timeline with other members. Wondering if you can add a column for Agent name who is processing? my agent name is REO(CN)

zameer2u said:
You are most welcome Javed :) Yes i tried to modify the post i posted originally, but that option (edit/modify) does not work on few days older posts let alone few weeks.
So glad you shared your info , as it will help people understand their timelines better :)
There are also a lot of other useful info in my thread so its good that you browsed through the whole thread :)
Regards,
Zam
Thanks and good luck with your trip to Canada. I am just wondering if you have seen cic.gc.ca&english&newcomers&before-border.asp (replace & with /) page? I remember when I 1st landed in Canada we had to declare out assets in Pakistan and stuff. So to avoid wasting time filling that on arrival I was trying to figure out if it can be done prior to arrival and this page provide B4 form incase you are bringing assets later on from Pakistan. Otherwise they will start to look into taxing you if you do not declare on arrival and try to bring it later on.

Have the sponsor contact CPC Missisauga where the documents were submitted. Educational document attestation is only good for if you want to further your studies and the educational institution wants to verify your past educational background.
