I have no Idea Medopharm. I have seen a friend getting it as fast as 4 months as you mentioned. However I suggest it is case by case with an average time frame of 6 to 10 months in most to the point applications.

I am in the same boat like you hoping this is all ending up with a 4 months process and that's it ;)

Dear All,

can anyone explains what will happen to the new sponsorship application i submitted to Mississauga to sponsor my wife who lives in Egypt. i received email message saying we just opened your file ( after 55 days :( ), i do know what will be the next step

also i see on the website that the Canadian office in Cairo is closed, so how this affects the processing time

i do appreciate all your help

thanks in Advance
OUR application was received in October 2014. we are now at the medical received stage, there seems to be no effect of the office closure on the processing of your file ; as we are now in the last stage of ours...GOOD luck on your processing.

Hi nass,

Her visa office would be in nairobi
Check this: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/offices/missions/nairobi.asp

And if she has a permenant residency status in egypt she can choose if she wants it to be processed in nairobi or cairo

The medical examination has 1 year validity
I guess it's better for her to do the examination again and let her inform the doctors that she's pregnant because the x-ray is dangerous for the baby
And if she hasn't landed before giving birth you MUST inform cic that you have a child or you won't EVER be able to sponsor that baby
Don't let her land before declaring your new child and making a medical exam for him too

Hope this helps
