Reasons to hold passport?

Question

My travel agency here in philippines apply for a tourist visa for me, and then aftre two months, they say that the canadian embassy denied my application 2x. Now i need my passport back, just wondering why the agency is telling that my passport is being "hold" by the canadian embassy?? Is my agency telling the truth?? And why the embassy hold my passport?? I dont have any criminal records or whatsoever! Help!!

Answer 1

Once the Visa application has been denied, there is no reason for Canada to hold on to your passport.  Most likely, your travel agency has either lost your passport and is stalling. So, you are left w/ 2 options: 1) keep hassling your agent for your passport back, or 2) declare it lost and get a replacement.

Answer 2

Go to the Canadian Embassy in Manila and ask them.  Your travel agent can't do anything.  Make sure you take any paperwork your travel agent gave you.  Ask why your tourist visa was denied.

Answer 3

the embassy has no reason to hold it!the passaport is from your country and they CAN NOT hold it.they can deny the visa but the passport is YOURS and has nothing to do with an other country!go talk to the embassy or threaten the agency that you will go to the police.make copies of your recipts and all from the travel agency.i really hope ypu can get it back!!!
