Lawyer in Karachi for Pakistanis in Canada

How do I make a power of attorney in Canada for use in Pakistan?

1. 1

   Get the power of attorney drafted

   We draft it for the specific sale, court case or succession matter.

2. 2

   Book with the right mission

   Book with the High Commission in Ottawa or the consulate covering your province. The Toronto consulate requires an appointment.

3. 3

   Attend in person

   Bring a valid Pakistani passport or CNIC/NICOP with photocopies, your attorney's CNIC/NICOP copy and two recent passport-size photos. Your photo is attached beside your signature.

4. 4

   Pay the fee

   The Toronto consulate takes fees by debit card or bank draft.

5. 5

   Send it to Karachi

   Courier the original to your attorney for registration and use in Pakistan.

If you hold a CNIC or NICOP you can also check whether NADRA's online power of attorney portal is available for your mission, which replaces the visit with a video interview.
