'Word on the street' is that connections to someone in the Canadian embassy can significantly reduce the waiting time. Do you guys believe this is true or is it a bunch of Lebaneses BS : ?

No updates from Beirut? Is the situation that bad with processing?

 

[tati00]

Hello my friends,
Guess what guys, I went to the embassy today, I was applying for a temporary resident visa and after 37 days of waiting they refused my application, and the reason they gave me was out of sense.
By the way my 1st wedding anniversary is tomorrow and can you all imagine how hard is for us to be away, we wanted so badly to spend it together, my husband even made plans for this important occasion but the reason was not convincing to them because they don’t have any feelings (sorry for the expression).
I can't even think or write but wanted to share my feelings with you cause you are from the people that feels with me. I even asked the girl about the permanent resident visa and she replied in a rude way to send an email.
Sorry to disappoint you with my letter but always we hope for a better days …
Keep the smile

Hey everyone! Do you think it is a good idea if we go all together and ask them to meet someone?

I was reading in other forum that someone got temporary resident visa by going to the embassy and talking with the officer, but do you think this works with Lebanese officers ???? hehehe I doubt

I don't know either! The problem is that on their website it says that they do not accept "inquiries" in person nor phone. So what exactly should we do if don't reply to emails either?! I think we should try to form a group and go all together and try our luck, the worst that can happen is that we know nothing which is our situation now.

By the way, I read in your earlier posts that you were thinking about applying for a visitor visa, any updates on that?

 

[Anoushka]

I guess we should try everything and be aggressive, it's our time & life that is passing ...

Yes I applyed for a temporary resident visa but didn't get it and the reason they gave me that I am applying for the permenant resident visa, on the other hand I know another woman from Lebanon that got her visa so easily and she is staying with her husband till she gets her permenant visa (the same waiting timeline like mine). Maybe we should lie to them like she did ...

I also applied for one back in April 2012 and got it. I went and visited my husband on and off in the past year; now I came back permanently because my visa expired during April. Maybe it depends on when you apply?!
