Unclaimed Passports/Letters from VFS

Dear All

It is the responsibility of applicants to collect the envelopes containing their letters and passports related to visa applications from the VFS.  Unclaimed envelopes with passports/letters are sent back to the Canada High Commission in Delhi or the Consulate General in Chandigarh after one month of receiving back at VFS from Canada High Commission in Delhi or the Consulate General in Chandigarh .

If the envelopes are unclaimed after 3 months of receiving it back from VFS, the High Commission or the Consulate will destroy the unclaimed letters and return the passports to the local passport office.  Any valid Canada visas will be cancelled in passports before they are returned to the local authorities.

Applicants who fail to collect their envelopes within the timeframes indicated above must approach the passport office directly in order to obtain their passport back.  Once passports have been handed over to the local passport authorities, the Canada High Commission and Consulate will no longer be responsible and unable to assist.
