Hey everyone,
Please tell me that there's no way for my husband to get his ppr before 2012!
My husband is going to apply for a student visa in November and the embassy in Tehran wants to keep his passport for 10 weeks, there's no way he will get ppr from Damascus in November/December, right?!
Hi vivi,
I hope that some miracle hapens and your husband gets his visa before 2012. My wife got a study permit from lebanon while she was waiting her visa there. It s not a problem if they keep his passport at the embassy. if he gets his PPR before he can ask for it.

nagz missBOU was misinformed about the original marriage certificates in lebanon. it is required to send all original documents with the original translations. the translator will not stamp or certify any copies unless they are originals. they will then staple them together and they must be sent to the embassy that way. i know when missBOU sent the original package from canada she sent a photocopy of the marriage certificate since that is what they requested, but on this side of the world they want the originals. hope this was helpful information.

ya i know exactly when you bring it to the translator you bring the original. then he will translate then you send it to the ministry which CERTIFIES BOTH THE TRANSLATION AND THE ORIGINAL. but you only send the original TRANSLATION to the government right ???

I dont see anywhere on CIC website that we have to provide the original marriage certificate when we apply. However, I didnt take any chance and did send the original marriage certificate. Anyway, what am I going to do with it? Put it in a frame? ::)

LOL @ ya libnan.
when the canadian embassy in damascus emailed me requesting additional information it stated in the email to send all original copies along with original translated copies. i just followed what the translator told me to do. some may have been told differently.

thanks htraboul :) i'm very happy that things worked out for you and your wife. oh its really good if he can take it back if he needs it, but they have stated in their website that they will not give passports back during this time! i don't know how serious this is ... :(
vivi why dont u try calling Service Canada and see what they say about that. i know they give wrong info sometimes but usually they are pretty good about stuff like that. i think u still have time even if they hold the passport , even so they must make an exception to that and will release it for ur husband to get his visa! i hope ur husband gets the student visa , that wud be awesome for the two of u!

nagz i wudnt worry if u didnt send the original marriage certificate, if they had a problem they wud have informed u about it when they requested further documents from u.

Thanks vivi,
I remember that my wife was about to cancel the application as she was fed up and she wanted to go to usa and wait there. So she called the embassy requesting her passport, the lady on the phone told here if you want your passport send us an email and we will let you know when you can come and pick it. But fortunatly the next day they sent an email asking her to go and get her study permit.
Good luck
