I have a friend who is applying to sponsor her husband. According to her religion (Islam) she has been married for some time but since he is studying in a different (opposite) part of the country and they have yet to have the flashy wedding that all Arab families want, they are not able living...

Unfortunately, no I did not see this option. I contacted the Visa office and they sent me an address (without a P.O. box so I went and found the P.O. box for the Canadian embassy online).

Finally received our Passport Request from the Tel-Aviv Visa office, however... nowhere in the email does it provide us with an address to ship the photocopies (Israel is Visa-exempt) and photos to. Does anyone have any idea if I should send it to the embassy's P.O. box or if there's another...

UPDATE: November 27: Received PPR email today! Very excited.

Yes, thankfully, he did. He can complete the test without any issues with regards to time. :) I am very glad!

Helena, I was contacted by them via email and they said that my husband would not be penalized, thankfully.

I've contacted our Panel Physician and he said it's our responsibility to inform them. I did reach out to them two days ago via the Web Form from CIC website. Our 30 days are up on the 9th of July so I'm really concerned. No reply yet from them.

Hey, guys, so my husband did the medical test in Israel, however, we got the results back and apparently, the blood test was inconclusive and the doc believes that something was contaminated. However, according to the law, he can't retake the blood test for two weeks and I am worried because we...

Hey there, From what it seems, I do not think his charge should be an issue. According to what I've read, there must be an equivalent offense in Canada to the act he committed abroad and I am not sure that there is. If there is no equivalent offense in Canada, then he will be able to enter...

I really appreciate your reply. I definitely will start applying sooner rather than later (what have we got to lose?) and it's great to hear that it's possible. Thank you!

Hey, With regards to spouse, I know someone that applied to sponsor someone but the sponsor themselves when they are unemployed. Shouldn't be a problem if they believe you are able to get a job/better job in the future, I assume. I'm not sure there really is a threshold since they literally...

As an update: I asked on a Facebook group about how long it might take to process the application in the Tel-Aviv office and this is the reply I received: "We have been speaking to someone in Toronto whose job is Jewish immigration to Canada, and she told us that for an Israeli, and from what...

My husband recently did his and it was 1200 shekels for the medical in Tel Aviv.

My husband's application to be sponsored by me (a Canadian citizen) is in progress and hopefully within four-five months (maybe even sooner) we will have an answer and get his PR visa. However, when should be (could we?) start applying for jobs in Canada for him? Are we able to apply while his...

I was pretty surprised too at the speed. I am optimistic and hopeful that this speed will continue during the processing in Tel Aviv. Good luck to you in your application process! Thank you for your feedback.

Thanks a lot, I've gone ahead and joined!

I haven't found much information on the forum regarding Sponsorship applications from Israel. I hope that someone can benefit from my experience. I am a Canadian citizen who moved to Israel about 3 years ago. I am married and sponsoring my husband who lives in Israel. Here is my outline...

Great, thanks again for the response! :)

Thanks for the information! Should I make a thread specifically about applications from Israel?

It depends on many variables including where you plan to live and how you manage your finances. Check out this site: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/newcomers/before-cost-household.asp It should help you figure out what kind of expenses to expect.
