Hi, Thanks for your response. I have inquired about the Beirut visa office deal on this forum earlier. What happened is that shortly after I sent in my wife's application, I learned about the new rule (i.e. Beirut office processing immigration applications...

Re: Beirut time line Hi All, Since I guess I am the first to have an application processed in Beirut, I thought of inquiring/adding my timelines here. Applicationn sent to MCP-C : May 11, 2009 sponsorship approved: June 10, 2009 recived AOR: ??? Any 'fair guess' on when would...

Hi, Sorry, for the delayed comments, but I rarely log in here, and it seems the thread became a lebanese chit chat :) My earlier comments were mostly how I personally see the processing structure. I do not have any extra info other than what's online. And someone mentioned background checks...

- Thanks all for the responses and nice to meet you. I looked into this a little more: - It seems that the new processing center in Lebanon is just for preliminary handling that saves the lebanese the trouble of travelling to Syria. Damascus will remain as the more central processing place. If...

As some may have noticed: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/media/releases/2009/2009-04-03.asp Lebanese do not need to go to Syria, anymore (unless they wish to) for immigration. Since this announcement came out 40 days ago, I have missed it, and I have just sent the application to...

I called immigration services, and I was told that there is no standard or specification for any of this. I never received an accurate response to my previous posting in this regards, either. Case closed.

Hi, Can someone point out for me where (in the three parts of the guide for sponsoring your spouse) are these details mentioned? i.e. details about staples, metal or plastic clips (besides stapling pictures which is obvious)? Mentioning the page numbers (from the PDF guides) would be...

Hi, A minor question in regards to names/DOB/Date of photo on the back of photos: - The sponsor's guide clearly (and in bold letters) specifies that this should be done on one - and only one - of the photos. - The country specific guide clearly (in bold letters, as well) specifies that...

Hi, This is a minor question in regards to form IMM5540E, the sponsor's questionnaire. I am specifically referring to the question asking about addresses outside Canada. Unlike the usual tradition in these forms, the question does not specify since when do they want the address history...

Thanks a lot boujasim for your help.

Thanks Boujasim for a timely and accurate response. To double check one detail, that is not region specific: If my wife lists me as a representative, that will not deprive her from following up on the application herself, if she wants to. This will only allow me to follow-up on her...

Hi, To those familiar with the region, I would appreciate some help on the following: - The guide (part 3) mentions the 'civil status certificate' and 'family book/list'. - Is the civil status certificate what is also known as Extract of Individual Civil Registry Record (Ikhraj...

Osmosis/Hubcap, Sorry to intrude on the posting, but I think its useful if Hubcap provides some link to the TN changes you are referring to, for the benefit of Osmosis and for all. Thanks.

Thanks to all useful tips. Just for the general benefit of forum users, I made a very brief call to CIC earlier this morning and got the following feedback: - If the marriage is recognized in the country where its performed then its acceptable for immigration purposes. That was in response...

Thanks for your feedback. Let me clarify that I (the husband) is the one who gave the 'power of attorney' to a family member to perform this (and other paperwork) on my behalf, because I cannot be physically present in Lebanon at the time, and after I & my spouse knew each other for close to two...

Hi, I am residing in Canada, and will start the application to sponsor my wife, in Lebanon, very soon. Please advise: - Is it OK for me to translate her documents from arabic to English in Canada, or does it have to be done overseas, in the home country? - My religious/legal...
