Hi all A friend of mine who is Cairo VO applicant already got medical done and sent and , today he checked on USA Lottery site, he was selected for Diversity Lottery VISA :oNow he is confused, stop his Canada PR and proceed for USA DV Visa , should he inform CIC and his Visa Office??? or he can go in parallel applications Canada and USA, specially that DV lottery is not guranteed after selection , processing and waiting is also there :-\
what is your advice !!!!!!! 8)
thanks

Well, your firend has to decide what he or she wants. Both have their pros and cons. One is a lottery and other a process. The name says it all isnt it? I will go for process any day as the input will be in my hands. For lottery it is in fate's hands.

Well, deciding which country he wants to emmigrate to would be a good starting point ;)

There is nothing to stop him applying for residency to both the USA and Canada. Indeed, if he can satisfy the residency requirements (Canada is 2 years out of every 5, no idea what USA is) he could technically be residents of both countries.

So my advice would be NOT to cancel his Canada PR. Even if he is granted Canada PR status he doesn't have to take it, he can still go to USA and after 1 year from medicals his Canada PR will expire. If he completes his record of landing his Canada PR will expire after 5 years if he hasn't lived in Canada for at least 2 years and applied to renew.

He should continue processing with both.
It's always good to have the option even if you don't know if you prefer Canada or US.
He is lucky and should take advantage of it, most people don't have even one option ;)

Diversity Lottery visa
Every year Usa accepts Immigrants from all over the world, not all countries qualify, about 50,000
Application is totally free on official website of dvlottery.state
application period is in October every year , random selection [It's a LOTTERY] by a computer is done on med year , this year it was done and cancelled, repeated this july due some programming error
when applying, you will keep application confirmation CODE
using this code you will check on the same webpage where you applied and it's totally FREE, It will show that you have been selected for further processing or " you have not been selected for further processing " as I always get for the past 3 times I applied lol
That's all I know , hope it helps
Thanks

Official website will not ask for any money on application stage or Results stage

Sorry, but in my opinion choosing who to allow into your country by pure lottery doesn't sound like a very good idea.

Are there any criteria at all? Language? Work experience? Qualifications?
