Dear fellow Egyptians, msa2 elfoll 3alekom Cheesy
I received an ITA on 22-2-2017 , and still filling those online detailed forms in myCIC account. I have few questions, & I hope you can help asap:
1- I'm currently outside Egypt, what is the fastest way to do the Police cert. without having to go back to Egypt?
2- Can I do the medical here and my wife & kids do it in Egypt?
3- I have all the documents for myself and wife & kids already translated with one of the translation offices in Alexandria (near the faculty of commerce campus "elmogama3 elnazary"), will it be accepted?
4- I have the experience letter in English signed by my manager, what else is a must to prove my work experience?
5- my wife has some work experience (3 or 4 years) but she won't be able to get any proof for it! should I add it to her personal history and work experience or not?
thanks and alf shokr for your valuable contributions mates
Dear Shalaby,
Congratulations on your ITA. I do not have answers to all your questions as I still have not gone through the process ( CRS 436 ITA expected soon)
I will answer the ones that I do know based on my research & experience shared by friends. Please also note that this may differ from EE to PNP (and may not be applicable between different PNPs):
1- I'm currently outside Egypt, what is the fastest way to do the Police cert. without having to go back to Egypt?
A: You can apply for PCC from the Egyptian embassy or consulate. Please keep in mind that this may take time. Explore fastest option with the embassy itself.
2- Can I do the medical here and my wife & kids do it in Egypt?
A : Yes.
3- I have all the documents for myself and wife & kids already translated with one of the translation offices in Alexandria (near the faculty of commerce campus "elmogama3 elnazary"), will it be accepted?
A: The answer is yes. Some people say that it has to be notarized or targama mo3tamada, however out of my friends experience, they didn't need motargem mo3tamad. The most important thing is that the center's translation work & stamp to include contact details.
4- I have the experience letter in English signed by my manager, what else is a must to prove my work experience?
A: The experience letter must be as per CIC guidelines. It should meet minimum requirements of stating it was for full time employment, hours worked, detailed job duties & descriptions as per your NOC. It needs to be on a company letter head. It should include the signature of HR. For more details & for sample , please look up "experience letter guidelines for express entry" on google and pick 4th available link or any other link
5- my wife has some work experience (3 or 4 years) but she won't be able to get any proof for it! should I add it to her personal history and work experience or not?
A: Did you wife acquire that work experience in Canada ? Are you claiming points for that experience ?
If the answer to both questions is NO, I would advise you NOT TO include her work experience part of your application to avoid any confusion or hassle.
Best of luck.
May I know where are you applying from ? I am currently in UAE and expecting an ITA in next draws (CRS 436). I would appreciate it if you can share your experience with us as it will help a lot of people in same situation. Please pm if you're interested to continue this discussion in private.
