Hi there. I sponsored my Algerian husband using the Paris office. When he was approved I flew first to Tunisia to meet up with him and took his passport to Paris. We did need to fill out a form to say that he allowed me to take his passport and have the visa placed inside it. I then took it...

Just wanted to update everyone. I arrived back in Canada yesterday, with my husband! Landing was super easy, all they asked him was, do you have any criminal history and if he had any children...then done! I hope the rest of you have a great experience like we did.

I am at a loss as of what to do. My husband has been approved. His medical expires Feb 22. He also needs the visa in his passport...this is the problem. I happen to be going to Algeria to see him next week. We have 2 options 1. I go meet him, get his passport, fly to Paris, hope and pray...

Does anyone have any experience with this? I think that the only way for my husband to get the visa at this point is for me to go to Paris and have it done myself. Does anyone know if they stamp it the same day? Or will I have to spend a few days in Paris? I know that I would much rather...

Does anyone know how long it takes to send passport to the Paris office, have them stick in the visa and send it back? My husbands medical expires Feb 22 and he was just called today...I would love to have him here sooner than later! Thanks

Well....we learned the hard way. I went to Algeria in March, thinking that we would get married. When we went to have an appointment, they refused us. So we had to go for medicals, interviews with police and interviews with the foreigners office, we had a huge file of papers to turn into the...

I got married in Algeria and did not need it. BUT I would go ahead and get it anyways as it's only $25 and not worth making the mistake for.

Ecas changed to In Process today! Started processing Oct 28th.

I'm not sure if Morocco has the same rules as Algeria. But when I was to marry my Algerian husband we needed a number of things. Our birth certificates, interview with police, interview with foreign office, blood tests, physicals, divorce papers....and I think that was about it! It then took...

Seems I am the last one waiting for that 'in process' to show up on E cas!!!!! So frustrating! Anyone else dealing with Paris?

MYSG....me too, I am waiting to see a change on Ecas. We were approved as a sponsor on Sept 2 and no news since then! We are applying thru Paris.

Ok ok....I can get into Ecas...I guess that UK and England are 2 separate places in the world of the CIC! Thanks for your help everyone!

Hi Girls...yes I am the sponsor. I am using my details, is there some strange trick to it? Like all capitals or something? If I can't get in there today I will call them tomorrow. Thanks!

Hi Heleina I have tried using both my receipt number and the number on my approval letter. I am using my details...name, dob, and place of birth. Not sure what i am doing wrong. Thanks!

Is anyone else having this prob? I received my approval as a sponsor on the 9th but cannot get into Ecas....mayb I just have no patience!

Yay!!!!!! We got our letter today! Approved by CIC-M and off to Paris now for second stage approval. Letter was dated Sept 2nd, still can't get on E cas though. I am the sponsor...so I use my name, DOB and place of birth right? Good luck to all of us.

Hey there TripleP No news from my side yet! I am sooo not a patient person. And, no, I can't get onto Ecas either. Immigration is my new obsession in life, so be sure that as soon as I know anything I will be on here posting! Good luck to us all and hope we all have speedy and good news...

Yes, I agree...must have a stamp! They are stamp crazy in North Africa. Good Luck!

I disagree with PMM, it might not be recognized as legal in Canada. The marriage has to follow Canadian marriage laws, in Islam (if it was a muslim wedding). I know that they are allowed 4 wives, and if she is not the first wife, then it is not acceptable in Canada.
