    You are right spirit. I think part of your problem is your husband never declared you before he landed, which CIC is saying makes it invalid to sponsor you. I would get an experienced immigration attorney to help you through this.

    CAIRO VISA OFFICE

    Hi Guys, I found out some things about what you will need to do before you get here. If you have a driver's licence in Egypt, go to the office that issued it and get something like a history of it, then get it translated by an authorized agent and bring it with you to Canada. That way when you...

    Amattullah, Mish says they sent her husband (in Egypt) an email so I'm guessing they will send the request to the applicant so ask him to keep an eye on his email and especially his junk email.

    Lily, because the file is now being processed in Ottawa, all correspondence and documents will go to Ottawa unless they specifically ask you or you receive correspondence from Cairo. It sounds like you are almost done.....Get the fee paid asap so your husband can come to Canada.

    App filed in Cairo is when Cairo should have received your application from Canada. In some cases I guessed about 1 week from sponsorship approval as that is generally how long it takes to get to the outland visa office.

    Family Class Sponsorship -- Enforcing the Sponsorship Agreement

    It's simple, go back home to your family. I find it hard to believe that weeks into Canada and the relationship breaks down. Maybe it wasn't that serious from the get go. Or find a job. As far as raabia88, you saw the signs long before you came here and yet you still chose to come. Canadian...

    CAIRO VISA OFFICE

    Mira, you can apply for a visitor visa but it's likely you will be denied, especially since your application is in process now. CIC will think you will not leave the country when your visa expires. I noticed and as posted by louisa I think, the processing time has increased now to 14 months...
