    Ankara Visa Office Applicants Check in here! :)

    Yes, it means number, but I was wondering which one you were referring to: "Consultant ICCRC No" or "Client ID # or File #" ? They only reply if you asked something special. If you just asked them how long you still have to wait, or something like that, you'll get a generic answer for sure.

    What do you mean by "no" in "Case Specific Enquiry no" ?

    I also sent them an email last night and received a somehow personalized reply at 7:22 this morning (14:22 Turkey time). Weird!

    Damascus/Spousal since Jan 2010 or late 2009

    They asked for interview because they have concerns my husband might be using me for getting a visa. I agree our couple is very odd (read my older posts, I've already explained the situation a few times) and that, on paper, everything is playing against us, but reality is not always as it seems...

    Ah good! We thought ours disappeared because my husband might have gotten refused after the (terrible) interview he (we) had in Ankara on Monday...

    Hahaha! No, I'm not in Iran. I'm not Iranian either, nor is my husband, but I know too much about this stressful process! I'm not in Montreal (I live in Gatineau), but my KLM flight leaves from Montreal. I'm going to Ankara for supporting my husband and show the visa officer I'm not just a name...

    I'll reiterate my offer: I'll be at YUL airport on Friday afternoon (my flight is at 7 PM), going to Turkey (via Amsterdam) and I would happy to help you. If they tell you they can send the passport back to you in Canada, with the visa in it, I could drop it at the visa office in Ankara next...

    Hahaha! We had the same problem in Turkey. The photographer couldn't understand we needed something different than visa (biometric) pictures. I had the sheet with instructions in hand, but he couldn't believe us. We almost had to fight with him to get what we wanted! Maybe CIC should start using...

    Where did you read it was closing for ever? I just read it was closed yesterday, again today, and that it will be closed until further notice. http://travel.gc.ca/destinations/egypt I understand it is a temporary closure for security reasons, nothing more than that at the moment.

    Just in case it might help you: I am going to Ankara next Monday (my husband has an interview), so I could bring it for you. The only problem I see is that I'm leaving Ankara on Monday night, so it would be impossible for me to get your passport back. Maybe you can ask them if someone can bring...

    When I requested mine, the form was a bit different. Also, there was no explanation for any of the options, so I've chosen to receive the status of our application in electronic format, by email. And I got our GSMC notes. If you are unsure, check 4C and attach a Post-it to the form saying you...

    You must choose 4A because your file is still being processed. Just write your file number (Fxxxxxxx). 4C is for getting the electronic files once the processing is completed, i.e. after one got his citizenship, PR, etc.

    They're asking it again because the one you provided with your application are now expired. As long as you don't have anything to hide, it's just a formality.

    Can we use texting as proof? On cell phones?

    When you will enter the Embassy, you will be requested to shut your phone off and to leave it in a locker. Also, all they accept is paper evidence, nothing on CD, DVD, USB key, no cards playing music, nothing electronic or computer related. For SMS, you will have to print screen captures and...

    Don't forget I also have to travel from Ottawa to Toronto, so it's always at least 200$ extra for me. I got my last Ottawa-Istanbul ticket from KLM for 829$. And there's no need for me to travel to Toronto then!

    Damascus/Spousal since Jan 2010 or late 2009

    Oh no! I checked and THY rates are WAY much higher than KLM's (I bought mine during a 48-hour sale)! Also, travelling from Ottawa to Toronto by Air Canada is not cheap and far from being convenient. I much prefer sit in a (free) bus for 2 hours and relax than having to lose time at Ottawa...
