FSW 2014 - Cairo Visa Office

[LifeXplorer]

Our application also has been transferred to Cairo Visa Office. Application received on May 8th and PER on August 14th (2014 of course). I emailed CPC-Ottawa and they replied that my application is in Cairo Visa Office. I emailed Cairo Visa Office but I got no reply so far. The Embassy in Egypt is closed since December 4th. As it seems this is the case with applicants who applied with Cairo Visa Office as there Visa Office in the first couple of weeks of May. I know personally another person in my situation and as I see on this forum and other forums that there is a good number of people in the same situation.

Now, My question/proposal is to think collectively of something to do. Maybe there is something we can do that will help us push forward the process or remind CIC of our situation. Please let me know if you are interested and let us come up with something.

thanks for your feedback.

Kindly provide mailing address for both CPC-Ottawa & Cairo visa office and i will try to contact them and revert.

by the way, my ECAS status is only one line : "we received your application on May 8th"

Further, to which department across CIC we could address our concerns ?

Regards,

Yes, My ECAS status says exactly the same thing (even the same date )

This is the email for CPC-Ottawa that referred me to Cairo Visa office: cpc-ctd-ottawa@cic.gc.ca

This is the email for Cairo Visa Office that I sent an email to and got no reply: cairo.visa@international.gc.ca

I have also filled an online inquiry for CIO, but got no reply either.

Answering your last question, I am not sure who or which entity should we refer to when it comes to this problem, any ideas?

Thanks for your response.

Just wondering, are you currently living in Cairo or abroad. For me, I am living in Kuwait and I've chosen cairo as my visa office although it was optional to choose other countries like Dubai, for instance.

Anyway, one can do nothing at this stage except waiting fingers crossed.

Let's keep this group active. As of now, I have no ideas/suggestions as to how we can expedite the process within CIC. However, I appreciate any ideas for you guys as I am quite excited to push things forward.

Best of luck

Guys,

Any update !!!

 

[LifeXplorer]

Not for me... I am still on hold as everyone else

I think we at least need to know where r our files & what do they intend to do & when.
But unfortunately I don't know how.

Any suggestions?

 

[mff]

I am pretty sure of this, I got this info from observing forum members here and in the Egyptian forum. you will find for example XFaris stating his file is at Cairo VO and other members having their files sent to Ottawa. I have observed that the time of application received by CIO makes the difference.

Thanks. May you please send me the link of these Egyptian forums so I can follow them as well.

Thanks. May you please send me the link of these Egyptian forums so I can follow them as well.

The Most famous one is www.almatareed.org

I have also created a secret Facebook group (similar to the one here) for people who already received their PER and waiting for next steps. The group is all Arabs (mainly Egyptians) and it would be good if you can join. I am sure they can provide support.

Send me your email (the one you use to access facebook) and I will add you to the group
