We finally got our notes for the refusal for the visitor visa and I am fuming angry.

They say that they are “not satisfied that he will leave Canada once given the chance to reunite with his Canadian wife”

So apparently the work contract I provided from the international school I have been working full time at, 3 years worth of Egyptian visas, bank statements from my bank over here, copies of plane tickets and pages of photographs together in Egypt, my address on the application, the affidavit from my parents, officially declaring myself a resident abroad in Egypt, along with a detailed cover letter mean nothing??

Apparently they did not even look at our application as in my opinion it is hard to reunite with someone in Canada that lives beside you and has not even visited Canada in 2 years.

Thankfully the same day we got our PPR! Lol :D We are sending it out later today I hope. It is averaging around a month to get it back right?

I hear ya! Just when you think it's over....there's something. Well I hope that gets sorted out soon

Quick question, and maybe a stupid one, once my husband gets his passport, is he a permanent resident?

No dear, he has to land first and enter Canada, because the visa in his passport is an entry visa and it has an expiry date

I thought it was based on when your medical was done? Did you redo your medical and that is the new date? :)

No heshamkate i have made medicals in November 2014 and actually i have been approved since December 2015 but cairo visa office have been waiting for a scanned copy of my husband's new pr card because he was going through pr renewal process and he got it in 31/dec/2015
They give you 6 months visa once you're approved even if you haven't sent the passports yet

Hello everyone,

Passport Req..: Waiting

I have a question, when CIC sends an email whether it be for additional documents or passport request, do they send it to the sponsored person only, or do they send an email both to the sponsored and the sponsor.
Thanks.
