Hey Guys,

So I'm a total noob to this whole thing and I'm glad I stumbled upon these forums through Google. The more I read about the application process the more confused I get, so I hope you guys can help a sh2e2 out! ;D

So background story: I'm an Egyptian and I've been doing my undergrad studies in Canada since 2009 on a student visa. I have a couple of years left to finish my degree so I have legal temporary residence in Canada. I traveled with my girlfriend of 2 years to Cairo for the summer where we got legally married last month and now we are looking to apply for APR.

Now my questions are:

a) Is it better to apply in Cairo or when I head back to Canada next month and are the processing times at cic.gc.ca accurate?
b) Should I send my medical report with the application or after it is requested?
c) Should I authenticate all documents required (medical, criminal record, etc.) at the Canadian Embassy in Cairo?
d) Any other tips that you can think of to help me on this long and nerve-wracking quest is greatly appreciated.


Thank you w Ramadan Kareem!

Hey Ontarioer,

Thank you for your prompt reply. I think you misunderstood my question though. I meant that I have the option to apply either inland or outland and I was wondering which route is better all in all.

Sorry if I wasn't clear enough.

Oh I see
I am not sure but I do not think you have the option. If you are inland you are inland the outland is faster obviously, but I do not recommend playing games with cic.
u can verify whether or not uhave the two options bycalling ci, though

 

[Ontarioer]

P.s I am not saying that you want to play games. But they won't give u the benefit of the doubt. If u do something wrong with ur application they might use it as areason to reject it.
All the best

Thank you for your followup. Yes I am positive that I have the choice. I can be anywhere in the world (including Canada) and apply outland , however I must be in Canada to apply inland. I made sure.

Now if I do decide to do it in Cairo do you have any idea how much the medical will cost? and should I apply for kashf el ahl for my family as in me and my wife or my parents and brothers?

One last thing, now we got married in the ministry of Justice and they gave us 2 original marriage certificates "3aqd zawag rasmy" with our fingerprints and pictures on it. Should I translate and use those or should I apply for the computerized marriage certificate ("qed zawag" looks similar to the birth certificate) and use that instead?

first congratulations for the marriage
second, kashf altebi costs about 850 L.E or so.
third, you need to translate the marriage certificate in alshahr al3aqari I guess, as you are married to a foreign
and lastly, I am not sure if you can have the computerized marriage certificate if your wife is not Egyptian.
P.S I also had my marriage in the ministry of justice because my wife is not egyptian. And I sent it along with the translation, so u should be good I guess.

you can have that computerized marriage certificate and it will take time and you must change your egyptian ID to be married and then it will take around 2 months for them to computerize it and i think that its better and you must put and give and add that your application the marriage certificate must be authenticated by stamp from Canadian Embassy with 50 Canadian Dollar then take some stamp from office of ministry of foreign affairs its close to shahr al akary you can ask there they will tell you and its better for you to do all of that with english copy of your marriage certificate
the medical charge 750 L.E at Sabry Ghally clinic you can find his information in cic .ca under DM
