Re: Pakistani National ID Card
Hey y'all - well I am none the wiser! I spoke with my moma and she said that I need to apply for the NICOP card, she said that because my father is a Pakistani Citizen and has a pak. passport, then that auto means that I am one too!! The reason why I am so worried about this, is because if i get a NICOP card, which my mother is forcing me to do then that would mean that I am an offical Pakistani citizen. Even though I dont mind it, I dont want being a Pakistani Citizen to affect my Canadian PR application in anyway! They might consider me a Pakistani and make my journey through getting Canadian PR more difficult! Thats my main concern....
in that case dont apply for the NICOP until after u have your canadian immigration. its no big deal, get a visa to visit Pakistan for the time being. and if you want, you can apply for it later. so in your canadian immigration case, just because you are eligible for citizenship of Pakistan does not mean that you are a citizen because you have not done anything to turn that eligibility into official citizenship documents.
