I am not understanding why they are asking original passport though it has already been submitted. Will there be any issues??
No! Its a default update for approved visas
You will get your stamped passport soon
If you have any doubt then contact the embassy

if you get PPR, your visa will not be refused unless your PP is fake.

You'll not get denied for submitting renewed passport along with old passport. Extend the validity of study permit if it is shorter than your course duration when you reach Canada

My friend's original passport request expired and she applied for outside Canada, whereas, she is in Canada on a visitor status. We did a webform as well as email VFS for label and they have not replied. What is the best possible way to handle the situation? As the request expired my friend is really worried.

Hello Nadir
Thank you for replying on time.
I already did that today. They said the moment you do a webform and IRCC do not reply between the time span of the deadline, the deadline automatically gets extended. :)

Guys i need some help. My parents applied for Visitor visa in india, and they got the original passport request. I wanted to know what is the procedure to send the passport? Can we just visit VFS Global center without appointment and ask them to send it out?
For both the parents do these need to go in two different packages, or just 1 package?
and lastly, is there any additional "passport transmission fee" or any fee thats till needs to be paid?
