I think you might be able but to be on the safe side email moconorc@rbc.com with your questions , they usually reply within the same day and will supply you with everything you need to know in details, excellent support.

Ok so apparently I am the first one here who finally have got her passport stamped!! well I was the first that got THAT golden email....remember? :P

Here's my long journey:

First, I am Syrian. and my visa office is Amman.
So I booked on Air Jordanian a flight from:
"Beirut-----Amman" on Monday, and another flight on Wednesday (after midnight) from Amman---Montreal!
witch means i'm spending (Monday-Tuesday-Wednesday) in Amman. I decided to be brave and stay positive that I can convince the embassy to stamp my visa on the same day or the next one!hi I am from Syria how did I u ask them to get our visa from Amman how change to beruit pls tell us all steppes and the email u have been sent. thnks

I went yesterday (Tuesday) to the embassy, once they've took it, they asked me for a phone number or e-mail to notify me when my passport is ready.
So I was like Nooooooo, I am staying in a hotel, and I don't know anyone here, so I must take it today after noon, or tomorrow max. ( I gave the officer a copy of my air Ticket (flight from Amman to Montreal on Wednesday!!)
And here we started the crazy argument about the rules! the officer was basically telling me " It's not our problem if you're staying in a hotel, if you're Syrian, we can't stamp your visa today!! or tomorrow" etc....

After back and forth arguing, she told me "Ok, come at 2pm, I can't promise you anything, I'll see what we can do".
So I went to my hotel devastated feeling terrible. You guys have no idea how hard was it to reach Amman!!
(I had first to go from Damascus to Lebanon with 2 luggage and a handbag, witch means TAFTISH everything every 15 minutes in Damas and in Beirut!)

Anyway, I went back at 2 pm and I got my passport back stamped :)
Oh and they gave me the Renewed "Selection Quebec".

By the way, All the people who also have got their passport back (including me) DIDN'T pay anything!

That's it guys....Yalla inshalllah YOU = next

hi ely
get a visa credit card and spend there then pay online. or withdraw money from atm cheaper than transfer
regards
 
Arrived to gatineau.
It was a great experience at Trudeau airport. The officer was very friendly. It honestly took me 5 minutes to finish the papers.
I was lucky cause the immigration officer was lebanese and the dicussion was all in arabic.
I was only asked about the amount of money i'm bringing in.
I'm officialy a PR.
Good luck to all!!!

Your lucky...it took my fiancé 2.5 hours to come out. There was about 20 new immigrants in front of him and a lot more behind him. The officers were very friendly, and they asked him only a few questions.

1) If he's shipping anything.
2) How much money he's bringing in
3) If he's bringing any gifts
4) His address for the PR
