Guys, today 8:40 am local Beirut time, I got a phone call from the embassy advising me to drop my passport between 9-10 am and take it back at 2pm, I also had to bring 2 pics. It is done for me, I got the visa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just told my husband now and all of you are the second people I tell
The embassy was filled with people in the morning dropping their passports, mostly Syrian visitor visa applicants. When I wet back at 2, I waited until 2:45 almost 3 to have my turn because they keep the immigration applicants till last ( you will be directed to go to a window rather than staying at the info booth); a lot of visitor applicants were refused
There were only 3 immigration applicants including myself, 1 guy who applied for skilled worker and myself and another guy who got the visa under family sponsorship. It took them exactly 2 weeks from the time I submitted the papers they requested to issue my visa. On my e-cas, it now says in process since August 2.
My dear friends, my personal journey with the immigration section of the Canadian Embassy of Beirut has come to an official end today; however, my journey with you and anyone else in the future who might benefit from my immigration experience will never end even after you will get your visas too. I will make it my mission to fight for the rights of families like us who got their lives upside down! I couldn't have done this without the support and care of all of you, I will continue to pray for all of you, my friends, so you can feel the joy that I'm feeling today. August will be our month starting me and ending with all of us. May God bless you and your families and give you the patience and strength to keep your heads up to stay on this road until you get the call.
