Hi,

I am studying in Canada, but my wife is in Iran. She want to apply for visitor visa. I know she can apply to Turkey, but, since it takes long time, we decided to apply from another country.

One option is, going to Abu Dhabi and another is going to Beirut. First question: Does anybody have any experience about Canadian visitor visa from the embassy in these countries? which one is faster for Iranian and which one is less expensive?

I know she has to be in Beirut or Abu Dhabi when she is applying for visa. My wife wants to go there to apply and she will come back to Iran very soon. My question is: Does she (herself) have to go to Beirut or Abu Dhabi to pick up her visa (when visa is approved)? Or it is possible to pick up visa by a representative?

I am really looking forward to hearing.

Thanks in advance.

If its her passport she has to pick it up. If you use a rep then you have to authorize a rep to correspond with CIC HC on your wifes behalf. YOu can do that by signing an extra form which enables a rep to do all correspondence on behalf of your wife.

Hi,

I don't have an idea if this will work for you but it works for me. She can send all her docs based on the checklist then send it to Beirut using Fedex and don't forget to enclose money order for Fedex with return airway bill to return her docs & passport. What I did I sent my papers with pp & with my husband's docs & pp too to CHC NYC even I'm not staying in US but we have US visa just in case the embassy need us for interview. We're living in Turks Islands for your info. The embassy emailed me that they can't send our pp back to Turks Islands eventhough I enclosed money order for Fedex to send our pp back to us. The embassy only sends pp to US/CDN mailing address so I gave my bestfriend's address in US.

Until now we're still waiting for our pp. This is just based on our experience. Good luck :)

2 years ago I applied from Abu Dhabi (student) and got it back the same day. But I think processing time differs according to your home country.
