1. Have you open Foreign Currency bank account? If yes, which bank, city and branch?

Yes. UBL, New Garden Town, Lahore. Next to KFC

2. Do we have to be a filer to open Foreign Currency bank account?
Yes. You show a source of income and you should be a filer. If you cannot, your father can open a foreign currency account and transfer funds to your GIC account.
Just want to clear that you cannot send GIC amount from any other account(not even father's), it has to be your's, otherwise they will send you money back. Be a filer first and then open a Foreign Currency Account. I would suggest Faisal bank, State Life Society, Lahore(Branch Code=3226. Manager name is Mr. Umair. I sent My GIC following the same procedure, No extra charges were deducted.

I have booked someone appointment but same issue happened, mail not received, i checked spam folders but not received. You should go for biometrics at the time you choose for appointment and they will help you to sort out this issue.

Hey, I confirmed from VFS on the email. Below is their response. Hope it helps.

Dear Applicant,



Thank you for contacting Canada Visa Information Service Centre for Pakistan.



Please be informed that due to technical issue on the website you are unable to receive appointment letter. You can visit at the Visa Application Center on your scheduled time and date without an appointment letter. Furthermore, if your appointment has been confirmed then you may visit on the scheduled date and time.
