How to Submit a Canadian Visa application from Pakistan

The Canadian High Commission in Islamabad Pakistan strongly recommends that applicants put forward their visa applications and passports using the courier services of FedEx, TCS or Gerry's.
You can visit the websites of these courier services for details:

It is impractical to submit visa applications yourself, only the persons who have an interview letter from Canadian Embassy Islamabad are supposed to be admitted inside the Canadian High Commission in Islamabad.

Payment of Visa Fees:

The following link of CIC contains the amount of fee you have to submit with your application

Payment of processing fees can be made with
1. A bank draft in Canadian dollars
or
2. Cash in Pakistani rupees.

Bank drafts should be made payable to “The Receiver General for Canada” and you have to write your name and address on the backside of the bank draft. Ensure that you have sent the accurate type of bank draft; or else your application will be returned to you which will cause a delay in your visa application processing.

Payments in Pakistani rupees are required to be submitted directly at one of the selected Standard Chartered Bank branches located in Islamabad, Lahore, Karachi, Peshawar, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Quetta, and Sialkot. Visit the website of Standard Chartered Bank Pakistan for additional information on how to find the designated branch nearest to you:

After submission of your fee in the bank, you will receive two receipts:
1. A yellow copy (For your own record)
2. A green copy (You have to submit it to the Visa Section along with your application)

Only the green copy is acceptable as evidence of payment. Do not attach cash.
You must put forward a copy of the present passport pages bearing your name and picture.
Send the visa form and necessary documents including evidence of fee payment, in a preserved envelope to:
Immigration Section
Canadian High Commission
P.O. Box 1042
Islamabad, Pakistan
