Does anyone know?

Hi - I have applied earlier in the year to sponsor my parents, sent my application in May and received AOR end of July. No other communication was received. I have since been checking ECAS from time to time and saw status go from application received to In Process. Then last week I noticed the...

I'm assuming it takes them ages to do it? How long are we talking / document? A couple of days? A week?

Thanks dude for the pm! Totally agree. I plan to do the same once I cross the hurdle. A post to summarize what I went through for all others to benefit from. I just need to create some sort of outline for all the things that I need to do while I'm in Egypt in their exact sequence. As I've...

@Dr Eng X: Are you in Canada or in Egypt? If in canada, mind sharing your contact info in a private message? Need to get your thoughts on a few things. Thought I'd benefit from your experience if you don't mind!

New question: Where/how does one get notarized copies of documents that are originally in Arabic. For example a birth certificate. Correct me if I'm wrong, the steps required are to take a copy of the birth certificate, notarize the copy. Translate the notarized copy? Is this easier/cheaper to...

How long did it take you to do it in Egypt? I'm planning on being in Egypt for 2 weeks to do this.

Interesting! So what you're telling me is that I don't really have an option? That simplifies a lot of things!! Were you/are you in the same boat?

That's what I thought as well. My only concern would be how and how long they would go about trying to confirm that the person named on the marriage certificate (non-canadian id) is the same person applying for sponsorship (canadian citizen).

Thanks @Dr Eng X! What does it mean when it says that a civil marriage between a canadian male and an egyptian female cannot be obtained in Egypt? Isn't that what everyone does? They get married in wezaret el 3adl - maktab zawag el aganeb? Now I'm confused! So in the case where the male is the...

Thanks @madatito2000! I will definitely give you a call. When's a good time to call? Let me know in a private message.

Hello everyone, Hoping to find some help here. I'm a dual citizen (Canadian - Egyptian) planning on getting married to my fiancé next month in Egypt. I believe ( I could be mistaken) that it is a lot easier to get married as 2 Egyptians as opposed to an Egyptian marrying a foreigner...

Thanks for your reply. She's a Bahraini citizen as well (I think that's irrelevant in this case). We will be submitting our application through the London visa office as she currently resides in the UK. I have read the cic website very carefully, but I couldn't find anywhere where it states what...

Thanks @madatito2000. For some reason it won't let me reply to your personal message, or send a new personal message. It says I'm not allowed to send personal messages. Once again, thanks.

Greetings to all the Cairenes out there. I have a quick question, and was hoping that some of you would be able to provide some guidance based on your experience during the process so far. I am an Egyptian Canadian living in Canada and plan to get married to my fiance who's also a dual citizen...

I have a few questions regarding a sponsorship application, and was hoping some of you would be able to provide your thoughts and experiences related to this matter. My fiance and I are planning on getting married by the end of the summer. She currently lives in the UK and is on a student visa...
