Should I submit original or copy of my passport to Canadian embassy for an immigration application?

Accepted answer

They're going to stick an actual physical visa into your actual passport, so a copy won't suffice.
Send the real thing.

Your husband probably already gave them a copy when your application was submitted.

My wife had to send her passport to The Philippines (she was in Japan). After they received it with her application, they said that her medical certificate was too old and she needed a new one.

But to get it she had to take her passport to the doctor.

But they had her passport.

In the end, it took me getting our Member of Parliament's office involved, because the Philippines office didn't respond to my emails or faxes (there was no phone number). They sent it back to her, by collect courier -- for which she had to pay almost $200!

So yes, you have to send in your passport, even though it seems sketchy, and hopefully your experience isn't as bad as ours!

A copy of your passport isn't a valid passport or travel document. They want the actual passport.
