Thank you mehdi jan, Well at the moment I have no intention to leave the forum... I like to stay with you in your days of happiness and share my experiences! :p But if I find myself unable to continue I will definitely ask other volunteers to do so!
What I did was the simplest thing I could do ... We are a family here, leaving the forum is another hard task in immigration process! :-|
Raha, when you want to get your visa? and how to apply it? company or yourself?

I will go to Ankara tomorrow night to pick the visa up myself. I preferred to ask companies for pick-up but my husband recommended not to do so!
I also reserved a flight to Toronto for October 20th, still unsure if I m able to get ready by then... ::)

also guys...whats your take on the dollar situation in iran....the whole thing about international tickets and the agencies selling tickets the same prices as the dollar value in the market...everyday its something new...
Agencies are still selling tickets with central bank's $ price which is around 1,200 toman! But they were saying that government will probably stop giving them cheap $ soon!
For this reason I got my ticket for Iran early to take advantage of this opportunity. My ticket is for end of Jan with Turkish and it came up to 1.5 million toman only! :) With today's $ price it would be around 2.5 - 3 million! ???

hbehname i think its cheaper to buy the ticket with the dollar value from bank of iran that you buying the ticket from here...buy your ticket for the end of november or middle of november...worst comes to worst...u get one free date change...
hbehmane said:
im thinking i book flight ticket 4 my wife from Ankara/Istanbul to Toronto, since people flying from there 2 here should pay as the $ value and this is really expensive 4 them.

yup ... it's my second time doing this. and no it's round trip! I got them from a travel agency in Mashhad even though my ticket is from Toronto to Tehran. First time I did this was with Qatar Airways and this time it's with Turkish.

I have a question, if someone traveled outside during this one year for processing, after the visa is issued again needs the security check or not?
