Good Day!
This is to share with you the difficulty we are experiencing right now. I received email from the Embassy requiring us to submit pertinent documents including our passports for visa stamping after their considerable review and verification. I sent my passport together with the letter of explanation why I cannot submit the passport of my hubby. After two days, a personnel from CIC called me up informing that they received my mail and that I must send the passport of my husband before they can move on to the next step of the process of our application...that they will not grant any visa unless my dependent's passport is also submitted within the given 45days.
Is it possible that the Embassy would take into consideration that a seaman should always keep his passport wherever the ship will go? It's a protocol that port authorities check their legal entries with the passport always have to be available with them. The only way to make his passport available is repatriation and bridge of contract.

Please help..if you have the same case please share to me what can be best done to resolve the problem. Thank you so much.

1. Yes, all the pps r required at the same time, 'coz each visa is linked to one another. They have to printed at one go.
2. Yes, CIC understands the precarious situation such cases go thru... so your visa/s would be delayed but NOT cancelled/rejected.
3. Write an explanation letter to your VO (same matter as u posted here) & give-out a tentative timeframe by which his pp could be sent.
4. If the delay (in sending his pp) is enormous (& u cannot do w/out your pps), ask for returning your pps as well.
5. CIC would comply/accept & give u a new PPR date.

Good Luck!

Has CIC said they are ready to issue your visas? Sooner or later you will have to provided CIC with his passport to complete the process. How soon can he provide his passport?
