Der Drammar,
well if 2007 applicants have recieived their midcals then this is great news, if this was for 2008 applicants then this news are not good.
i know this is confusing but let me clarify.
in 28 feb.2008 they introdcued a new system, so your laywer convied the message that they are done with the old system and that they now can concentrate on the new one.
also i know for fact that so people who applied in early in 2009 have already landed.
the economic conditions have dictated that delay, they have discovered that they cannot host the current number of immigrants, that why they slowed the process down.

I agree with you about the economic condition and i think this delay is not due to application numbers as our numbers in cairo will never be compared to the numbers submitted to other visa offices like new delhi and manilla and yet these visa offices are working much faster.

Drammer, i don't want to freak you out but it is clear that there is something wrong with your application.
now you have two options (in my openion):
1-send to the embassy directly an enquiry without even notifying your lawyer explaining the case (try to be short and straight forward as mush as you can)
2-try to obtain the CAIPS notes for your file with the embassy, there are a lot of websites on the net for this, if there is something wrong with your file, it will be listed

in all cases, all 2008 applicants (new system) have already received a reply on their file.. they are now stuck with the third quarter of 2009...

and don't count on your lawyer a lot my freind.. i had the worst experience with one of them recently.. i swear that most people who are here and on other forums know a lot more information about the entire process than them.. i have seen it myself.. so don't just beleive what he tells you... communicate directly with the embassy...

this is my advice

Dear Wello !

Thank you very much for taking interest and reply to me , I have double e-mailed my Lawyer and as you said you CAN NOT rely on them !, he said he received nothing from them and that he will e-mail them next month, I frequently log into the e-Service and all it says is " In Process" Now I will email the embassy directly and see for myself what will happen I hope they would reply fast and don't leave me hanging .

Umm from your experience what do you think is wrong with my application ?? I would appreciate any answer

Tc and See ya soon !

Dr ammar,
i think if you haven't paid the full amount to the lawyer, ten you should not worry, he is waiting to get the rest.
also and as discussed b4, due to economic conditions, even if you got the PR now it is not advisable as you may not find a job as soon as you land,
if can find internship in canada as a doctor, this will send you there almost immediatly + the job of coure.
if not then you can always spend your time with toronto notes studying for the med exams as wel las saving as much as you can.
in short: the time spend nowshould not be seen as wasted, and can be used effeciently, that does not mean that i'm not in a hurry and worry but i do not think we got noting but to be patient.
b.s.: i have a eeling that you will surprise us soon with the good news ISA, good luck man.
yours mokka

drammer,
may be the embassy checked the file, and found out a missing document.. but didn't send a letter notifying you.... (their mistake)
may be the embqassy did send the letter to your lawyer and he didn't receive it (lost in mail)
may be the lawyer received the letter and lost it
may be the security check matched with a similar name and they are waiting for confirmation from another place

the odds doesn't end, but i think that the best way is to apply for the CAIPS notes.. it will show you the current stage of your file and kill most of the above doubts...
i already applied for it and waiting to see the results... (i sent my full file in august 2009 and till date i heard nothing)

or simply send an enquiry to the embassy hoping that the embassy will reply a specific reply to your case and not the standard templete which they send to everyone

strees in your email (if you send it) that you exceeded 24 months from the date you sent your full documents to the embassy and see what they will tell you

the point is that you must make an action, and not count on the lawyer

Dear Friend Wello,

Let me see your opinion on the post I posted b4 yours " the one with the email attached ''

 

[drammar]

I have sent the embassy an enquiry '' they've got something called - case specific enquiry - Let's see when they're gonna reply !

 

[bebomallah]

Today i have received my 2nd AOR and guess what time for cairo visa office is 24 months go Egypt go

 

[wello]

Hi Drammer,
this confirms that lawyers do know nothing, i am sure that you received this mail when you submitted your full set of documents to the cairo embassy, why didn't he include those missing document/pictures? did you know that there is a guide (checklist) on the CIC website which tells you the exact requirments for each embassy? why didn't your lawyer simply follow those instructions?
anyway, are you sure that your lawyer sent those documents to the embassy? if yes, then i highly recommened to apply for the CAIPS notes to see the status of your file... the process takes 6 weeks so you better hurry...

@ DRAmmar
I think you should contact the embassy yourself and start asking about your application.
@Wello
Cairo visa didn't mention that it will begin processing after 24 months it states that it takes 24 months for final decision and if you didn't hear anything from the embassy after this time you should contact them otherwise they will not reply.

those 24 months are supposed to be from the date of submitting your full documents to the embassy till the date of either rejecting your file or stamping the visa on your passport (as per my knowledge)
