Inshaa Allah we will my bro.
Why do you think they asked you for the family registration form?
Can you copy and paste the email they sent you here for our info.

I have a possible reason in mine. Due to the new “Zero Tolerance for Barbaric Cultural Practices” Act passed by the conservatives few months ago, which among other things "bar migrants who practice polygamy (or that are suspected may practice polygamy in the future) from entering Canada and potentially remove permanent residents already in Canada who practice polygamy.". I am not sure it will be required from everyone or not... In my case I was married twice (not in the same time of course), so that could be relevant...

As for the email, after removing what is personal and what is confidential it would come down to this, "Computerized family registration form" and bank statement within 15 days. Address provided in the email, is the address in the Nile towers.

I'd like to believe that I have received the update request due to discrepancy in my bank statement. Everyone else shouldn't be facing the same issue.... Thus, it is very likely that we will end up getting MR round the same time insha'Allah :D

My believe if it is required that we submit our application in 15 days (only 13 left) that they will be starting to issue medical requests soon insha'Allah. I mean in the up coming few weeks...

It seems that the time has come ya shabaab ☺

Many congratulations and inshallah this will be your first step in the last lap on your way to Canada

Guys I believe from now onwards any communications from Cairo VO will be very case specific so we shouldn't expect the same to all I think... An updated bank statement will probably be a common requirement though... But i have a question : does anyone know if they do employment checks? Should we give our places of work a heads up?

Hi Bro,

Very hard to answer this question, as each VO is different (I know Ottawa usually doesn't, where New Delhi does for example), and we don't know any case has already been processed from Cairo VO recently.
Better to give this heads up anyway.

I know of someone who has informed his employer about this couple of years ago and his promotions were frozen since then... So, you need to be cautions about that. Besides, I don't think they call to ask saying "We are Canada blah blah", I didn't hear of something of that sort.

Congratulations LifeXplorer on that update, soon insha' Allah you and all of us will get the medical update.

For the possibility that Cairo VO could contact your employer, yes they might do it as it happened to me before. I have a previous application in 2010 and they sent an email in 2012 to my previous employer general manager in which he didn't see, so later they called the company and a new guy who didn't know me replied. Consequently and unfortunately, my application got a rejection.

Got a phone call asking for a bank statement and a translated birth certificate for applicant and wife

And the phone call was because they wanted to make sure the email was personal or its the work email

And then they sent the email stating the same

Hoping for the best for all of us
