I am a permanent resident of Canada since 24-06-2010, Business category.
On 1st of July 2010, I went back to Egypt, my home country, to sell a real estate property I own and transfer the money to Canada to start my new life there.
As a result of the global recession, I faced a declined demand for real estate in Egypt and thus the operation took longer than I expected until January 2011 when the Egyptian Revolution started.
The Revolution hurt me in three ways:
1. There is a deep recession now in Egypt with almost no selling at all.
2. If I can sell in local currency – in spite of the recession – I can't buy Dollars from the bank as Central Bank of Egypt tries to decrease the pressure on local currency.
3. If it happened – theoretically – and I could get the Dollars, I can't transfer it outside of Egypt!!
Now, I am stuck in Egypt and I can't come back to Canada because of money.
I know that the maximum allowed time to be continuously outside of Canada is 24 months from which I spent 18 months till now, and I don't know when the situation will be resolved.
My Questions to you are:
1. What are my chances if the situation remains as it is for years to come?
2. Is there anything I can do to save my immigration project from being ruined?
Thank you for your time.
