Hi cairocouple

I wish you pick up your husband's passport with the visa sooooon :)

that's good to know you had have a representative ( lawyer ) ,
did you consult your lawyer about your trip to Cairo , if yes , what was his advice ??
Thank you! Yes, we hired a lawyer here in Canada. As for as visiting goes, it is a good idea. It shows that you want to see your spouse and makes your case stronger. All you have to do is keep documentation of your visit and then add it to your file. I was living with my husband in Cairo for the last year, then I returned to Canada in June. We made it clear in our application that I would be doing this. We told them that I wanted to get things ready in Canada for his arrival, which is true, as I wanted to find a job before my husband arrived.

Anyway, the CIC has his passport now, so we hope to get it back soon!

Good luck!

I need to know how can u pay RPRF from sudan. The DHL can only help in visit visa not PR visa. did some one paid RPRF from Sudan, if yes please share your experiance.
In the embassy web-site it is stated that "Important: Due to banking restrictions, nationals and residents of Sudan may be required to make payment arrangements in Egypt.". They have only tow ways to pay "Payment of the Right of Permanent Residence fee can be made directly to the Visa Office by direct deposit (CITIBANK branch into Account # 502030515) of LE 3020, or by certified cheque in the amount of $490 Canadian dollars.
can i pay without going to Cairo??? because in direct deposit they said (present the original receipt at the Visa Section of the Canadian Embassy in Cairo) do i have to do it by myself or can i let some one to make the deposit and send the recipt for me and the i send it by DHL attached to thier request.
for the certified cheque can someone issue it for me from Egypt or Uae and send it to me then i send it by DHL attached to thier request.
Thankx in advance.

That's good

seem i will go in the same way , because i miss my family so much i will ask my wife to send them an email to explain everything to visa office and what is the purpose from the trip !

actually the main problem now is not the CIC or the visa office , it is the complicated security situation in Egypt now and how my wife can arrive to Rafah crossing to come Gaza !!

I swear i am dying everyday

I think you need to send updated information through a different way, not as a direct e-mail to the CIC. If you look back in the threads you'll see postings on how to do it. I didn't do it personally (our lawyer sent it all in), so I can't advise on that.

This is what I have used when I sent them forms they requested. https://dmp-portal.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/case-cas-eng.aspx?mission=cairo
And they responded back saying they have received the forms.

. Hi brother the only safe way is to find someone who has a Visa card in sudan , so he can pay the fees for you and will print the recpiet for u. For me I payed my fees through this way.

If you have someone in Egypt, he can go directly to Citibank and deposit the RPRF amount on your behalf - but the receipt has to be on your name, and it has to be written exactly as you wrote it in your immigration application - he can then forward you the original receipt and you can then forward it to the embassy via DHL.

I have done it that way.

so i got an email from canadian embassy in Cairo asking for two documents please see below

"X) To complete the attached form for yourself. Please make sure that you write the month and year in questions 08 & 12 and complete it since the age of 18 with no gaps in dates, even if you are not working (you may write unemployed).

(X) To provide updated police certificate.

Subsection 16(1) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, 2001 states that all questions pertaining to an immigration application must be answered truthfully and must provide relevant evidence and documents that the examining officer reasonably requires.

Failure to provide the requested documentation within 30 days will result in your application being assessed on the basis of the documentation presently on file. Please be advised that, as the documentation requested in this email is relevant to the final assessment of your file, failure to provide it will likely result in the refusal of your application."

can someone tell me if they went through this before ? and why would they ask for police certificate to be done again ?
thanks,

khalil

My husband got his passport back, with the visa inside after the embassy only having it for three days. My husband has booked his flight, so he will be in Canada on October 31st.

Continued good luck to all, and I hope it's a speedy process.

the same happened to me during my application, it's a normal to provide the police clearance more than once during the process - because police certificates expire. CIC considers a certain validity period for police certificates (i think its 12 months but i'm not sure).

There's nothing to worry about, just make sure you send them the documents on time.

thanx
Hey Mosaab....
Guess what....
I sent our passports today!!!!!
Thanx for ur help and support so much....

Do u know how much time they take to finalize the passports?

And I guess they meant 13 months since the day we sent to Ottawa the applications for the federal. And our applications were being processed at Ottawa and only sent to Cairo VO to send for us to get the visas....

However I will wait for the visa now and will update u all.

I finally got intouch with my MPs office, and not the actual MP but someone who works at her office. He said that because we are still within the processing time, the embassy will not give them any information on our progress and we shouldn't expect a response back. should i go to a different MP?
