ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi. I am applying for a canadian study permit. 

I submitted my passport to VFS one week ago but still havent received any EMS tracking no. for its way back to me. 

I emailed VFS and they said my passport was on its way to the embassy. One day after, I recevied the approval decision on my visa via my online portal but until now (three days after the approval decision) I havent heard anything about my passport, and I am worrying if they lost it. 

Has anyone had any experience about VFS or the embassy losing your passport? What was your next move?

TLDR : Answer Summary

A user is anxious about the return of their passport submitted to VFS for a Canadian study permit application. After receiving an approval decision, they still haven't got tracking information for their passport sent back to them and are concerned it might be lost. Comments suggest past experiences with VFS and denote that if the correct address is used, the passport should be returned.

I am a Canadian and 4 years ago we went thru VFS in Bangkok for my wife's visa to Canada. They also had her passport and it was returned to our village in Isan. Best of luck. If they have your correct address you should get it back.
