DEAR ALL,
ALL THOSE WHO HAVE GOT PPR1,PPR2,PPR AND VISAS ,PLEASE ACCEPT MY HEARTIEST CONGRATULATION. SPECIAL CONGRATUALTION TO "MSAEED".

JUST WANT TO SHARE FOLLWOING INFORMATION REGARDING THE CASH THAT IS LEGALLY ALLOWED TO CARRY FOR INTERNATIOANL FLIGHTS.

""SBP Governor Yaseen Anwar raised the issue in the meeting that the present limit of $10,000 for each traveller per trip was being misused, said a statement issued by the Ministry of Finance. To stop this tendency, it was agreed that the present limit should be reduced to $5,000, it added.

Apart from this, each child up to 12 years of age would be allowed to take with him up to $2,500 while an infant would be permitted to carry $1,250, according to the decision.

Last year, Yaseen Anwar had disclosed in a meeting of the Senate Standing Committee on Finance that $25 million was being smuggled out of the country every day through three major international airports.

The government also decided to plug loopholes in the system and control capital flight. It agreed that law enforcement agencies would trace the smugglers.""

REGADRDS,
HIZ

I am not trying to say that you have done something wrong but as per the instructions received by LVO we have to submit the original Passport directly to the following address through Fedex or DHL, which i personally did, for more details check the instructions again whih was sent to us...

There is no such instructions from LVo to submit the PP to an agents who ar only responsible for visit visas application procssing, the reason i know this cse a friend of mine is working in VFS UAE and they recieve the PP from UAE for those people who wants to apply for visit to UK.

Please double check again what have you done, is that safe ??? you gave out your File number and original PP to an agent ???

Hi Jamshed
Salam
First off all thanks for reading the post and taking time to let me know of your concern.
Really after reading your post i thought i made some mistake and blood shot up many times but then i went through tyhe document that the CHC sent me in email and asked to read that thoroughly and follow the instructions there.
I rechecked and first of all there is no such thing in that 5 page document as you have mentioned in your text rather at the end of that document below is mentiioned

Submitting your passport(s), photos and updated information
For security reasons, your visa(s) can only be issued by our office in London. You must submit your package through the Visa Application Centre (VAC) in London. *( please note fees apply)
To submit your package via the Visa Application Centre (VAC):
Please visit the VAC website for details on how to submit your package for secure transmission and for issuance of the permanent resident visa(s). http://www.vfsglobal.ca/canada/UnitedKingdom/index.html
You should expect to be without your passport(s) for six weeks, so do not arrange any travel that will require your passport(s) during this period.
If you have not heard from us after six weeks, you may contact us using the email form on our website. We will not respond to queries received during this six week period.

Only after this i called the VAC and they told me that they can forward passports if CHC wants. In addition the link in the above text that i have pasted takes you to the VAC site.
BTW the package will go to VAC for "Safe Transmission" to the concerned department
It will be returned to me via DX Courier unopened and untouched nce the Embassy has taken action
BTW VAC is not only working for Canada but also for 12 othere embassies so i am hoping Canadians knew what they were doing when they asked me to contact VAC
Probably its just that in different regions they have different practices
From where did you take the text that you have pasted? Could you please share

Thanks again
Salam
