It's over. My wife got the visa. It took three weeks for the embassy to issue the visa. The file sent to Ottawa (CPP-O). I heard the approval from Ottawa and the visa is issued at the Cairo visa office. There were areas of weakness in my case. I overcome this by providing a very detailed...

After three months of the sponsor approval at CPC-M, there were more progresses of my relationship with my wife. I sent all the additional proofs to the visa office and got approved without interview and in a miraculously short time. On the cover letter write the file number (in bold and large...

I wonder how long the embassy takes to return the passport with the visa? How do you they return it? Do they call for pick up? I really appreciate any input about this.

If you are asked to re-do the medical, it is likely the last step.

To Ontarier- Remember that your file has been reviewed by the officer in Ottawa. Therefore, I think the officer in Ottawa is the one who raised the possibility of MOC, not the Cairo visa office. They did the interview based on the advice of the officer in Ottawa. I believe that the next step...

The application of citizenship does not ask to submit any proofs of the 3-year residence...just the calculation. Can I send supportive documentation (such as work letters) upfront with the application?

Can anyone tell me to which address the passport is sent for visa issuance: 26 Kamel El Shenawy Street or 6 Mohamed Fahmy El Sayed Street

Visa denial before marriage MIGHT have BIGGER negative effect. Here what the officer might think: This person wants to come to Canada. She applied for a visitor visa and got denied. The alternative is to get married from a Canadian citizen to bring her to Canada in Family Class sponsorship...

No I think it is just because of the weekend. I think they date the packages once they open them (on the same day of receipt showed on mail tracking or the following day..if there is no weekend or holiday).

I did not receive an e-mail. They sent a letter. When I checked my E-CAS, I initially found (application received) and then after four days it was changed to (decision made). The decision was sent in a letter. Note that I mailed out the app on Feb 8 and received on Feb 10 (as shown on mail...
