    Refugee case - egyptian atheist

    My refugee lawyer was recommended to me in 2017/2018 and I found him to be thorough when I moved here in 2019. I had emailed him once before coming to Canada. I dont know if he'll answer questions before you are in Canada but it may be worth a try. This is his website https://elfaroukkhaki.ca/

    Refugee case - egyptian atheist

    There is some terrible advice on here, please don't listen to everyone. I imagine there are 0-2 lawyers on this entire forum and a similar number of professionals and certainly none on this thread. Keeping that in mind you have a few option: - Come as a student, complete your studies, apply...

    Overseas spouse and dependents of protected person and convention refugee timeline - Share here

    what exactly is the point of you repeating information that is not only redundant but also perhaps demoralizing to people who are actually going through this process? why is not responding in a thread ever an option for you when you clearly have nothing useful to add.

    Expiring Passport while pending claim but applying for Spousal Sponsorship in 2 weeks

    I think that's a question for your lawyer (how do you apply for passport renewal without having your expired/expiring passport in hand?) I do not believe the expired passport will impact your spousal sponsorship application if you apply before it expires, and in your letter of explanation for...

    WRONG DOCUMENT ON REFUGEE CLAIM

    There is no issue in uploading your BoC through the IRCC webform, I would do it if I was you to be honest given you seem to be anxious about it. I would upload both the BoC and the narrative in the same webform. In my BoC form I wrote a 1 line answer to each question and ended it with 'please...

    Does protected person child (born in Canada) who has Canadian passport need USA prior visa before travel ?

    as steaky said, canadian passport holders do not need a visa to visit the US so the child does not need a ds160 form. if the parents require a visa, and the question in the ds160 form is about all family members traveling with the parents then the childs information should be provided.

    It depends what country you are referring to when you say 'middle east'. GCC countries dont accept the RTD but egypt does- I would recommend you check with each embassy you are considering visiting before booking any trip.

    Refugee Travel Document (No Citizenship on RTD)

    I dont think there is a way to 'prove' your citizenship with the RTD. My understanding is that the RTD is for the purposes of travel only while you are a protected person in canada. You answering the UK immigration officers question seemed sufficient to give them that information. I have not...
