Dear all,

I have received an email from the Canadian embassy in Cairo regarding the sponsorship of my wife which made me confused....
• I sent them all the documents they asked for in the email they sent already when I submitted the sponsorship application but they are asking again here for the same papers ...I am wondering if they need just a photocopies or they need new papers with new dates...
• I am confused if they need my wife scanned copy current passport and previous passport because her current passport is just few month old or they need the actual current and previous passport....and if they need the actual passport why they need it now if they do not have final decision in the case because she might need for travel
• They also asked me for updated Police certificate from Palestinian authority despite that I sent them one with the sponsorship application which is still valid until July 2017....the problem here if I will ask for new police certificate it takes more than one month to get it and here they gave me 15 days to provide them with the documents

below is the message I received...I will appreciate your advice and input in this case

Very strange that they asked for additional documentation at the same time as your passport. Really you have no choice but to follow their direction. I suspect they are stating that as long as you can provide the additional documents the rest of your application looks good.

Now after I send them all what they asked for. I got the below letter from Cairo Canadian Embassy regrading my wife sponsorship application. My question is what kind of proof should I submit as proof about the resignation from my current company.

I already submitted strong evidence that I will be moving to Canada like job offers and rental agreements...etc. The thing is I do not want to resign right now since my wife sponsorship visa is not ready.

My question is ....Should I resign immediately from my job in order to satisfy Canada immigration.

I appreciate your advice,please.
