Received the same letter from Singapore and I was under the impression that you can mail the passport to the VO abroad with a pre-paid courier's envelope enclosed. Write your address in Canada on the pre-paid envelope and CIC will send your passport back to that address.

I have heard its illegal to send passport out of Pakistan..i called cic today amd they said i wont suggest to send passport through mail coz there are chances of loss..

If i was you i would just send the passport to the visa office that request it and use a courier service if posible

You're right. It is illegal (1996) http://www.refworld.org/docid/3ae6aac34c.html

Do you have any family/friends who are planning to travel outside of Pakistan who can courier it to you when they leave? Probably still illegal but at least you might get across the red tape if DHL/FedEx refuse to deliver it.
