It doesn't make sense for airport employees to demand NICOP because the kids are Canadians with a Canadian passport. Some people just like to make useless issues so if anyone bothers you about it, simply say it's irrelevant because they don't need NICOP to travel to Canada.
Ok Thx

It’s better to get it now since you are in Pakistan and they were born in Pakistan,So in reality they are also citizens of Pakistan and when you decide to visit Pakistan in future you don’t need to go through visa process all you have to show NICOP at the Airport.
P.S stress free entry
Yes i agree too. Try to get NICOP. What if you go to airport with confirm flight with your 4 kids and wife, and FIA simply refused your explanation. Even before dealing with FIA. you may be stop at the main Airport door, as Airport Guard must check your Valid Passport, flights tickets and NICOP. so even at the main airport door your entry to airport declined. OR you may want to contact Canadian Consulate in Karachi and get some information from them about your kids Canadian Passport and their safe travel from Pakistan to Canada.

I have a question,my children lives in Karachi ages b/w 9-4,2 of them born in USA and 2 in PK,They all have Canadian Passport which they got it from Canadian embassy in PK as I am Canadian Citizen.Now I am planning to move Canada with wife and children. At air port do the FIA need NICOP or Pakistani Passport from my children to show them or just Canadian Passport to travel Canada?
Last time when I was travelling to Canada I showed them Canadian Passport and they ask me about NICOP.I am confused do I need to obtain NICOP for my children as well?
I don't know the reason why, but they will ALWAYS ask for NICOP when leaving Pakistan and entering Pakistan. I suggest you get them made to prevent any issues when leaving Pakistan. Don't risk it.

My suggestion get ur Nicop and for ur family as well. My family was refused to board the flight to go to Canada just because their nicops had expired. Now all of them are canadian citizens and one of them american born and one canadian born. The reason they gave for refusal is tht since their nicops were expired they had been living in pakistan illegally and immigration could have sent them to jail for tht. So they all went home with their luggages and had to rebook flights for later date once nicop renewed. So see lots of hassle....better to be safe and prepared than sorry...

Also, the passport is picked up at the VFS office correct? It is not mailed to your mailing address?

Does the applicant herself need to pick up the passport or can someone else pick it up as well? I believe the applicant needs to submit the passport herself but someone else can pick it up.

Guys can you help me to understand a timeline.

Like my application was transferred to LVO on 29th Aug 2017 as my case was processed through the lawyer I checked the status online at services3.cic.gc.ca and it says:

This is what it says when I click each one of them:

Sponsorship Application Status
Decision Made


Sponsorship

  1. We received your application to sponsor xxx on May 23, 2017.
  2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s) on June 22, 2017.
  3. We started processing your application on June 21, 2017.
  4. We sent you correspondence on June 29, 2017 about the decision on your application.
Permanent Residence Application Status
In Progress

Permanent Residence
  1. We received xxx's application for permanent residence on May 23, 2017.
  2. We started processing xxx's application on September 11, 2017.
  3. Medical results have been received.

When can I expect the status to be changed ? Pls advice as it seems that I have to wait until May 2018.
i am in the same boat.
my file was trasfered to LVO on 27 Sep though and it says on mycic that they started processing app on 13 OCT 2017.
so that means some one has looked up the file in LVO and now its waiting for an officer to take charge on it and send it for background check.

but i guess the time line of LVO vary's too much. i hope someone can give a better answer on the timeline.
thanks
