Why do you need to renew your passport twice in 5 years, by the ways?
Paranoid? after not getting passport in 22 days? I guess who’s paaranoid here.

You sound like a physician with a sense of entitlement.

Procrastination comes with a price. Stop blaming others and start taking responsibility. If you say you were shocked, you are too naive. You probably meant that you are disappointed. Enjoy your trip, but stop slandering your own country and your own people.

Your experience was dealing with government officials at the Pakistani consulate. Such Pakistanis believe that they are not answerable to anyone. “Service” is a dirty word. Giving misguidance to people is a sport they enjoy the most. They are supposed to be representing the govt. Looking at the shenanigans of our current govt., that’s probably true.

My recent experience in Pakistan also enlightend me on how ordinary Pakistanis are. It’s no different. Nobody ever gave me correct info. I walked into a DVD store wanting to buy an old movie because they are so cheap. The man behind the counter told me “No problem”, He didn’t have it but he can get it the next day. Great, I thought. I went back the next day. Guess what? He had ordered it and “it was on it’s way”. No problem. I stayed in Pakistan for a month and I must have visited the store atleast 7 or 8 times. Same answer. Finally it was time for me to return to Canada. The DVD never arrived. Once I got home, I was at a Wallmart looking through a pile of DVD’s in the $5 basket. There it was.

All I can say in conclusion is that I cannot trust any Pakistani for their word. That’s sad.

Most of the Pakistanis carry dual passports to save such problems and hazzles.I recommend you to use your Canadian passport and get Pakistani visitor visa.

What? unbelievable! And I had such a great experience at Chicago Consulate. I send my son’s passport for visa to Pakistan, followed all instructions to the letter, sent an express mail pre-paid envelope for fast return and I received the passport back with the visa in 48 hours. Things work just right sometimes.
