CAIRO VISA OFFICE

[desertFlower]

Don't worry, I think I will be waiting longer than 6-7 months
The wait time for getting SA is longer now

Eid Mubarak!!!!

Ohhhh AOR1 is before SA? I didn't reveive it, I had SA directly. I guess this is a Quebec thing since we have to send everything to provincial government too...

I don't know why suddenly the delay passed to 53 days! Maybe it's summer vacations in the ministry... Don't worry, you will get it soon.

Eid Mubarak kaman! 8)

1. SPONSOR expectation during the first step:

a. AOR1 or Application package will be sent back for lack of relevant document
b. Request for missing document or updated document - based on your spousal application
c. Medical, CIC payment, required application forms and Police report check
d. SA = Sponsor Approval email or letter

2. SPONSORED APPLICANT expectation during the second step:

e. AOR2 - from Visa Office
f. missing or updated document request - based on case to case
g. eligibility and criminality check
h. Interview - based on case to case
i. passport request for visa

Congrats Pharaoh canada! Good luck in your new life here in Canada. I wish you all the best.

I have a question for those living in Quebec.
I received my CSQ last month (2016-06-15) and when I check inECAS, the Sponsorship Application Status is still "In Progress". When I look at the help, it says the status should be "Decision Made" when the undertaking is approved. Is this an error? Will Cairo visa office process the application or it stays on hold until the status changed? I'm confuse...

Thanks,

We received a similar email about sponsors intent to return. We sent the following

-Letter from parents saying we could live with them until we find jobs and a house of our own.
(We also sent ads for houses for rent, and wrote a statement that we have been searching for houses to see their prices to prepare to buy/rent our own. So if you don't exactly know where you will stay, showing you have a plan with house ads is good)

-Two Job Offers ( If you don't have a job offer again print ads for jobs hiring in the field you plan to work in.)

- Facebook chats sponsor had with family and friend talking about returning.

- A letter why the sponsor wants to return to Canada (Start a better life, raise a family etc.)

- A letter with a list of our plans upon return ( Sponsor will work, Spouse will apply for job, Save for house, etc.)

Basically just explain your plans, what your going to do to get money and live. Our information was good to them because a few weeks after this email we received our Passport Request, so it is a good sign! We already sent all this information in our main application but I believe they just wanted an update to make sure job offers and accommodations were still available since it was 6 months later!

Hope that helps!

Congratulations MelissaJohn, that was quick (I mean quick from the letters you sent)!!!
That must be an awesome feeling!!!!

Congrats again.


I guess no one else has any new news??? It's quite quiet in here...... :'(

Should i book a real flight but is faked can they find out?
Should i write that i will stay with my mom then move out after i find a job i can find any letter from back home and i dont want tell my family over their.

 

[MelissaJohn]

Thanks its does feel great 6 months and about 20 days so seems they move pretty fast in the office now!

And nass I am not sure about the plane tickets because people say if you sent them a date and don't leave by the date you have the tickets for it can cause you trouble. Just explain in a letter you plan to book your tickets after you are accepted that's what we did. Explaining how we weren't sure of the date our visa would be issued so we are waiting to book tickets. And if you don't want your family to know maybe send letters from friends? Letters really are the best to describe your situation. It answers the officers question that may seem like an issue I think it is mostly just to show you have a plan and your not just arriving in Canada clueless!
Thanks!

Just wondering if anybody knows any good photographers in Cairo, I got my photos taken again to send the passport to be stamped but apparently the measurements are wrong. Got an email today to send 2 new photos. I went to a photographer in my town but I guess he didn't understand the measurements on the paper I gave to him.
Thanks!
