I am glad evrything worked fine for you. I believe when we are the most frustrated, tired, sad and angry from the stituation that we are in, that is the time that something good comes to us. I want to share my story.

3 years ago I went to Iran with my parents, when we were coming back I was deported because of my passport probelm and told me have to go to Vo and get a passport. All you guys that are from Tehran you now that how far is the international airport from Tehran .And I had no one in Tehran because My family lives In Khorasan. When I called my aunt she said her husband is going to ask his relatives there to send someone to come and pick me up. So my parents left and I waited there until 4 in the morning. You can picture how scared and mad I was. Quess who came to pick me up! My husband and his aunt. Yeah that is how we met . If I had left Iran that night I would have never met him and just one night changed my life.

By the way my husband's name is Mehdi, too.
Awww love happens when you least expect it! Cute story! And also everything happens for a reason, if you didn't had that problem with your passport you would have never met your husband! :)
Wish you a happy life. :)

So now that our files are for sure in Ankara, I guess my husband is going to redo his medicals. So he has to write Ankara visa office on the paper but the doctor is still going to send it to Paris, is that right?
Or since we don't know how the Ankara visa office is yet, they might get upset that we redid the medicals without them asking?!

Vivi, before I would tell you to go redo the medical without having the VO inform you, but now I probably wouldn't want to take the risk because of the transition that's happening. I'd be patient and just wait and see what happens :)

p.s i think whats on all of our minds right now is will our files be continued where they were left off in Damascus or will they be just thrown with the rest of the pile? Now there are people in gov't that ive spoken to saying that the agents who were in Damascus have been transferred to the other visa offices which will likely be taking care of the files they were working on...

lets hope for the best!

Hi vivi2!

Actually I redid the medical 20 days ago. Due to the unpredictable situation in Damascus I asked the doctor not to send my medical report to Paris until I make sure about the new VO . He warned me that he would send my medical within 1 month from the date I redid the medical, otherwise my medical is no longer officially acceptable after 1 month. Now that the new VO is announced (Ankara for Iranian) , I am going to ask the doctor to send my document to Paris!
However, the problem is that the doctor is going to put Damascus as my VO in the medical letter. He says he has not received any notification from CIC about the new VO for Iranian! so, he is not allowed to put the name of any VO ,except Damascus!!!
Anyway, the doctor is going to send the medical! I have no other choice! I guess it is not a big problem if my VO notified as Damascus. Because 100% Paris knows about all story of Damascus VO! They simply send the medical report to the new VO (Ankara) as soon as Ankara inquire about my medical!

I think that now it is better to wait and see what is happen. Then your hubby can redo it. Otherwise i think it will be time and money waste!

I just wanted to share an email I got from Amman VO after asking them whether the files that got transferred from Damascus to Amman will be continued from where they were left off or will they be thrown with all the other files and this is what they replied...

This is in reply to your email below.

Due to the closure of the Visa Section of the Canadian Embassy in Damascus, active files of persons who have made applications for permanent residence in Canada in the following categories, for citizens and residents of Jordan, Iraq and Syria, have been sent to our office for processing.

Family Class
Quebec Skilled Worker
Provincial Nominee

If you have an application in process in any of the categories above, our office will contact you when your file reaches the assessment stage, or if you have already received a positive selection decision, when other documents or information are required to complete your application.

Please note that we will not be able to provide a status update on your application at this stage.

Processing times may be lengthier given the direction to close the office in Damascus and relocate files to other missions.

We thank you for following the requirements indicated above, and for your patience during the application process.


p.s you will always get a vague answer from these offices unless your application has exceeded the 13 months.
We are completely patient! Do not worry about us.

Oh so that's how it works! I thought we tell the doctor we want Ankara and he says ok no problem!! :D Thanks for letting me know about this dear Booj. :)
Even if the doctor puts Damascus you are right, Paris knows about the change of the visa offices, and even if it goes to Damascus, Damascus will forward it to Ankara.
With all this I guess we will wait until we get the instructions.
Thanks! :)
