Hey all, can someone please provide feedback on PonJoub's message above? I am in the same situation and was going to do exactly that. I have one more question as well: I am bringing in some of my possessions with me in my suitcases when I land, and will bring other possessions as I come back...

Not anything. When it comes to money u declare if u have more than $10,000. However there are other items that you need to declare. You can find more information in this link: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/newcomers/before-border.asp Here's the passage related to money from the cic website...

I just read today that you can carry into canada any amount u want as long as u declare if u have more than $10,000 (i think canadian dollars, but u need to check). The trick is, it is illegal to get out of egypt with more than $10,000 anyways so that's ur limit. when i used to travel as a...

Thank you! we did get an email to pick up our passports after 5 working days, status changed on the same day in the evening so we arranged with dhl to pick up our passports. Hopefully we'll get them by Saturday or Sunday enshaa Allah!

I believe it is less than $10,000.

That's interesting... Thank you for sharing! I didnt check my cic that often now since I got the PPR email so i better do. one last question though. how long did it take for the status to change since u sent ur passport?

I can not answer all your questions, especially that I did my ECA with IQAS. However, are u sure your bachelor degree won't be recognized by WES? I remember I coudn't find the university from which I got my doctorate degree and when I sent my documents to IQAS, the degree was assessed as a PhD.

To new settlers from Egypt: What are the procedures to translate the certificate from المرور that says we have been driving for more than 2 years? 1- It is already stamped with ختم الشرطة from المرور. Do we need to obtain additional stamps? 2- Does it need to be additionally notarized from the...

I have read on the forum that this is an option, but I would additionally try to: 1- get a letter from your direct supervisor (if u have a good relationship with them) stating your duties and the duration of your employment. 2- add a payroll document or email to submit your salary and benefits...

Question for those who got their passports stamped and their CoPR from Cairo Visa Office: How did u get notified that the passports amd CoPR were ready? Email, telephone or SMS? Thanks!

believe me, i know of people who went to the airport for immigration and turned back before the flight coz they changed their minds in the airport :) experience taught me that u r not really travelling unless u r in the air. Other than that, yes, decision is made tab3an, with a tight degree of...

Loll :D Thanks for the encouragement :D immigration is a tough decision, especially when u r the only child left for ur parents, same for my spouse, and yet u still want what's best for ur kids... they know u apply and never consider that things can get real. Who would know the answers to any of...

Well, at this stage, you would worry about: 1- is this the right thing to do? 2- how am i gonna break it to my family that's its getting real? 3- will my kids adapt? 4- will i find work? 5- is life here really that bad? Do I need to go on ? You get the point

Thanks! Background was IP2. I don't know if they verified anything actually. None of my employers in the NOC I am applying for are current emlpoyers so i am not in touch with them. My guess is that CIC are really working on the cases but some take more time than others due to different reasons...

I just did on July 24. Just sent the passports today. Let's stay hopeful things would go smooth from there ya rab!

Hey all! any idea how long does it take for the cairo visa office to return stamped passports?

Hey all! received the PPR email on 24 July Thank God!! I hope everything else works well enshaa Allah for us and everyone else :) will keep u posted!!

Guys, any idea when they check the NOC's? Ip1 or Ip2?

Hey Guys! My background check became IP2 on July 14!! It says "We are processing your background check. We will send you a message...". No emails received. I logged onto the account and found that it has been updated. I hope everyone else gets updated soon enshaa Allah! My timeline is in the...

It seems that there is a queue before each step. Maybe IP1 is done in NS and they updated the status to NA, then the applications are moved to the designated visa office and they haven't started yet? It see
