I have no way of knowing when was it was sent to the Canadian Embassy in Ciro ,but I received the following e-mail ( passport already sent to the Canadian Embassy in Cairo the 25 of July,2013 )
Dear Mrs. Haile Haben,
This refers to your application for permanent residence in Canada.
We are pleased to inform you that your file is now ready for visa issuance. In this regard, you are requested to send us the following documents by courier only (such as DHL, TNT, Aramex, etc):
(X) Your original/valid passport to enable us to issue your immigrant visa.
Please note that your immigrant visa is valid until 04 March 2014. You must arrive in Canada on or before the visa expiry date.
Your visa is valid only if all family members (spouse, common-law partner, dependent son or daughter), whether accompanying you or not, have been declared and examined. You must therefore inform us of any change in your marital status or in your family composition (marriage, common-law relationship, separation, divorce, birth of a child, adoption, death, etc.) BEFORE your visa is issued. Failure to do so will render your visa invalid and will result in the refusal of your admission to Canada as a permanent resident.
Looking forward to your compliance with our requirements at your earliest convenience.
N.B.: Please return a copy of this letter with the requested document.
"Please do not reply to this email to confirm that your documents have been sent or to enquire if they have been received."
