Q103) I received "Ready for Visa" Email instructing me to submit to VFS in Pakistan, however I am residing outside Pakistan. Can I submit my Passport to nearest VFS?
A) YES! One you receive "Ready for Visa" email/letter (also known as PPR), you can submit to ANY VFS abroad along with Letter of Explanation stating that you are submitting package to VFS nearest to me, not as instructed in Letter. You may get somewhat similar response to this from IRCC if you send Case Specific Enquiry.
Any Visa Office can print your Visa label once your application has been approved. The only way of supplying your passport to a Visa Office is to send it via a Visa Application Centre (VAC). Please include with your passports a letter explaining that you are submitting your passport to {Nearest VFS} and not {VFS Stated in Letter}, as {Nearest VFS} is the closest processing office to you.

A) Always... ALWAYS read correspondence sent by Visa Office thoroughly.
It clearly states the following:
Apart from STEP 3, if you go through STEP 2 of PPR Letter, it clearly states that if you require Visa to enter Canada, then you must submit your ORIGINAL passport. Visa-Exempt nationals can just upload their passport's scanned copy.
Pakistani Nationals are not Visa-Exempt nationals. Therefore, they need to submit their original passport. They do not need to upload their passport's scanned copy on GCKey. That option is for Visa-Exempt Nationals.
