Yaya,

I don't know whay you mean by ACR. If you are asking about sending the passport then it was sent to them on the 6th, they received it on the 11th.

I have no idea how long it takes. Sent them an email but never received a reply.

ACR = Athourize return to Canada

Dear Omid ;
I wish I knew the answer to your question.All I know is they will ask for a new medical but if you have the permission to redo it by yourself I'm not sure.Ask your lawyer it must be other cases similar to you he/she will help. In my case my lawyer suggest me if they don't contact us until mid January my husband goes through the second medical and send it to Damascus.It will take some time for Paris to approve the medical and send it back to Damascus.(My lawyer was not so specific about the timing but he mentioned some times between 2 weeks to 2 months).
Regarding Police certificate, they just need a police certificate once they received the application in Damascus (when they are giving each case an ID number).However they can specifically ask you to do it again.
Don't worry I hope everything will be fine and they contact you within a week.Have a nice day

hello,
this answer is coming to my lawyer, if you know your medical is close to expire you can always have another one done thru an authorized doctor and it will take a total of 8 weeks maximum by the time it is done and gone to paris back to ottawa and then damascus
good luck everyone

Rezan,




I believe that you can apply for study permit if your admission is issued for international student and not for domestic student. However, the chance for getting visa is not high due to the fact that your spouse is in Canada. Applying for study permit and rejection would not affect your immigration process in Damascus. However, normally these cases are rejected by embassy in Tehran but you can try your chance.

thanks for your kind attention. I appreciate it. but I know there is no chance. my admission is issued upon international basis but as I heard from canadian embassy in tehran through some persons they said there won't be any chance for two parallel applications.
they adviced to wait until the permanent resident application being finalised. You are right they also said it won't affect my sponsorship application...
So confused.. my lawyer adviced me to be calm and patient !

 

[rezan]

and moreover as a statute you should write to them why you choose canada for studying ... why you prefer it over your own country,,, You should satisfy them that you dont have the same chance in your country and your studies in canada will elevate your future chance for finding jobs... actually i am studying medicine here and i am about to finish it,,, but my admission is not for medicine... so it is clear that i am going to stay there with my wife and as a RULE they HAVE to refuse me ,,, because CIC regulation requires certain reason to ensure students will come back to their home countries after their studies,,, of course I can not proof it
Any how thanks for your concerns and reply... I appreciate it... I hope one of us will get the good news very soon,,, so that it will be encouraging for the rest,,, I think you, eli or kamal will be the next one,,,

good night

I did. I did consult with him,,, he said university has no control or influence on immigration applications... he said all they can do is to write a letter directly to the embassy and tell them that I have been given an exception to start from winter session and should be there before 7th January... but at the same time he said it doesn't mean that they will necessarily finish my case before that time...
you know how conservative these consultants are !! he was one of them ! Whatever I asked he replied Not for sure but maybe !!!

 

[kamal225]

hello to all and again my head is spinning like i am in a circle where is the start or the end so let me share where do i stand now,
my lawyer recieved this email: Please be advised that the application is in queue for assessment. Please be patient as we will contact you when the application reaches the next stage of processing. In the meantime, if there is any change in the information submitted for the application please inform us as soon as possible.
Our objective is to finalize these cases within 6 months of the date of receipt. Routine cases, where all the required information is submitted with the application, are handled even more quickly. However, if further checks are required, finalizing the case might take longer.

of course now longer since they ask for info although i submit right after it will cause delays but this time they did not mention background check like last email that means checks are over so they only need to make a decision yes a decision which we are all waiting for.

my lawyer said before 3 months total and here we are now my lawyer is saying maybe by mid december honestly I am going crazy what if the officer takes a long christmas and new year holiday what should i do then definitely my wife has to save her holiday and come see me and probably together go to damascus??????????????????????????

 

[eli1985]

Dear Kamal ,
At least it is a good sign that the security check is done.I really didn't want to share this bad news with everyone but as you mentioned I think it is better for me to say it, my lawyer said exactly the same he told me if you are lucky your case will be finalized at mid December.(I know it is just an estimation but it really makes me nervous and angry)He emphasized although Damascus is only closed for 3 days but usually most of the staff take their holidays at that time it means more than 3 days off.You know I lost my hope, why is everything so confusing for them.Deciding on a case shouldn't take this long

Dear Rezan
Damascus embassy is closed on Dec 26th,Dec 27th and January the third.But don't expect much action from 20th Dec to 10th January.

This week passed without any good news, Maybe each month we have 1 or 2 this timing is ridiculous I hope we hear some good news for the last week of October.

 

[Anasser2056]

just to add to your information they are also closed on Nov 16 and 17 Eid-El-Adha ... ahhhhh thats almost one whole week from the 2 months :'( :'(

i am soo mad

 

[rezan]

yes i think they will be off for at least one month, although the embassy is open it doesn't mean that they are active and working on applications...
eli and kamal ur kidin ?!!!! I cant believe it then i should expect it in february... ahhhhhhhhhh goshhhhhhhhhhhhh
i think u should get a good news in less than 2 weeks because you already passed 6 months and your file was complete,,, I wish officers knew how hard it is for us so they will make a move,,,
