    Dear Ka3far, I know how much it sounds hard, but all of us suffered from this long wait. I do understand what you feel...I suggest that you have some patience (i know we all did have this for looong time). But since there's nothing you can do at this state but wait, I do suggest the following...

    Dear Ka3far, Thanks for your reply. I hope you'll receive your passport requests very soon! I suggest you send an email to the embassy and inquire about your application. Even thought they will tell you that's it's under review, I think this will show them you are really serious and it will...

    UPDATE: Ecas status changed yesterday to: "Decision Made" (instead of "Under Process") and when I click on it I get: "We started processing your application on December 2, 2008. Medical results have been received. A decision has been made on your application. The office will contact you...

    Seniors pls help: what's after medicals... Damascus Office

    Hi Cyrus! Well, I think it's done before medicals since when I used to send the embassy emails to inquire about my application, they used to tell me each time "once security checks done, medicals will be issued". That's point 1. Now point 2, I got PPR in 2 month after Meds done, and don't...

    Anyone applied from Syria(Damascus) office and got medical request with new rule

    Most probably. Today I passed by the Canadian Embassy (Lebanon) and put my passports there (me and my wife), and they told me it might take between 2 and 8 weeks to get the VISA. But many people I know got it in 2 weeks. They gave us the option to send it directly to Damascus, but I preferred to...

    Anyone applied from Syria(Damascus) office and got medical request with new rule

    Hello Mike! No not even posted! It stills "We started processing your application on ..." nothing regarding Medical tests...this is strange thought, I don't know how accurate that system is. So keep on checking your email (the email you wrote on your main application) and watch out the junk...
