I have a question about the medical...when did your husband's first one expire? My husband's expired Nov. 9th, he re-did it Nov 4th. Did you send the green sheet without them asking for it? We didn't send the green sheet...still deciding if we should wait. Advice??? ;D
My husbands medical expired on august 24th and he redid them on sept 2nd we sent them without the embassy asking us and i believe that was a good choice we made.

ORIGINAL individual valid passport for yourself.
2 recent photos (35 mm x 45 mm, white background) for yourself.


Please note, this does not guarantee that a visa will be issued.



Your passports MUST be received at our Embassy in Damascus no later than 30 days from the date of this letter. You are strongly encouraged to send your passport(s) via courier (If this service is available in your country) to avoid wait times at the Embassy.



EXPECTED VISA EXPIRY DATE:



If a visa is issued, it will be given the MAXIMUM VALIDITY of 01 SEP 2012 OR the expiry date of your passport whichever date comes first. You must arrive in Canada on or before this date, it cannot be extended or renewed.



Passports: Each person must have their own passport, including minor children. Your passport MUST be valid beyond the validity of your visa. Any passport changes after the visas are printed will result in a Replacement of an Immigration Document charge ($30.00 CDN) for each visa that needs to be reprinted.



SUBMIT YOUR PASSPORT(S) VIA COURIER (ALL APPLICANTS EXCEPT RESIDENTS OF LEBANON):



Please send your passport(s) via commercial courier to:



Visa Section

Embassy of Canada

Autostrade Mezze

Lot 12, Near Alrazi Hospital

Damascus, Syria

(963-11) 611-6692



If you prefer to send and receive your passport by courier, it is your responsibility to make the appropriate arrangements with the company of your choice. The Embassy of Canada neither requires nor recommends that you use any particular courier; we have no special arrangements with any courier company.



RESIDENTS OF LEBANON**:

You may submit your passport directly to the Embassy of Canada in Beirut at the address below:



43 Jal el Dib Highway, Coolrite Building

P.O. Box 60163

Telephone: (961-4) 713-900 / 710-576

The authorised person must present a letter of consent (see below) and identification.



If the validity date of your visa is shorter than two months, we recommend you to submit your passport directly to our office in Damascus. This will allow us to return your passport to you much faster and will give you as much time as possible to travel to Canada.



**NOTE: You must bring this letter with you if you are submitting your passports in person in order to verify your file information and to avoid delays. You must arrive on time. If you arrive late, you will encounter delays and may have to submit your passports on the next available day for passport submission.

Thank you geminibella for sharing this letter and mabrouk mara tenye.

I have a few question. Why they say in the letter: Please note, this does not guarantee that a visa will be issued. My second question is: if we go to the embassy in lebanon, its will take how many time to get the passport back.

Yallah nshallah all 2010 applicants will be done by the end of november.

Inshallah ;D
I wish everyone's spouse can be in Canada in time for Christmas. That would be wonderful! Good luck for today everyone!

Thanks for your help ;D
How long are police checks valid for? We sent them an updated on August 16th with the RQ...and I've been hearing different things. I know they would ask for one if they needed, but since we're sending in the green sheet I want to send in an updated police check too if we need...
