JazakAllah handsup, can u help me with understanding the way to send the passport?
Congrats for the baby!

Based on the new instructions, they clearly mention u to submit ur pp via VAC. Things required are:
1. original pp
2. copy of correspondence i.e. ppr email
3. appendix A fully completed
4. two recent photos and write name and app. no on the back.

also write name and app. no on the envelope and submit the package thru VAC.
Note that at the VAC, u can request to pick it up there or have it mailed back to ur home.

Yes, he should go to VAC in lahore, they will send the pp to embassy in ISB.
Only the members whose pp are being delivered need to fill in their info on appendix A. So, in your case, only your husband. For all the other rows i.e. spouse, child 1, 2, ... write "N/A".

Hey guys,
I am really stressing out here and I am sure one of you people would be able to provide some insight. My wife got her passport back with the visa last week and I booked a flight for her right away. Anyway, she cleared customs in Pakistan an hour ago and was informed that she may not be able to cross customs in Canada because she doesn't have landing papers.
She just received her passport back with the visa stamped and never got any landing papers(and as far as I know you get your PR after you are in Canada and no landing papers) For people on here who flew to Canada recently (within the last few months) were you or your spouse able to by pass customs with just the visa or did you need landing papers or other information. I realize I can't really do anything now but wait until she lands in Calgary and hopefully the customs officer in Pakistan was misinformed but any info would be appreciated.
Thanks,
For people curious about my time line.
Applied (August 2013)
Remed (Nov 2014)
PPR2 (2 Dec 2014)
Passport with Visa ( 29 Jan 2015)
Just wanted to update everyone here.
I got to the airport a couple of hours before the flight landed to talk to CBSA. One of the officers assured me that everything is available electronically so it's not really an issue. So in the end, she came out without any problems.. she told the customs officials that she didn't bring her landing papers and they just printed out another copy for her.
She had a bit of an issue during her layover in London though. The custom officers almost sent her back to Pakistan from there because they figured she will get sent back from Canada.
Anyway, she is here now and thanks for the people who provided advice and all the best to everyone still waiting for their spouses.
