Dalia is the name of the owner there - she was very efficient and fast, and reasonable prices.
OK,
step by step....remember to include as MUCH evidence on your family/relationship by way of photos of you, your wife and family; letters of support from your family and hers; letters from co-workers, friends, etc - anything you can put together to show that people have witnessed your relationship grow and that it is genuine. In addition, you should include phone bills, internet e-mails, internet chats [print screens], all of this will show you are communicating and how the relationship developed and continued; you should also include copies of any plane tickets, hotel receipts, museum stubs anything to show you were in Egypt together - spending time together. [If you visited her, include those proofs as well.]
All of this will help to reduce the likelihood for an interview to substantiate your relationship. Be sure to document in your application well, how your relationship started, and continued. ANything that out of the ordinary for an 'egyptian relationship/wedding' should be explained - reduce any questions in the executive producer's (the Immigration officer's) mind so that they have no questions and thus no reason to call you to interview.
You need to READ THE GUIDE WELL [part one and part twol]
Everything required from your side will need to be translated, and be prepared to run everywhere for stamps [for the birth certificate and the marriage papers]. Everything that is not in English or French, will need to be translated [if you are well organised, you can give everything to Dalia in one time - she is quite fast and very nice].
Your wife will send the application from Canada - so you need to work fast to get everything ready for her before she leaves to Canada. Some items will take a week or so to complete so plan well. She will pay the fees there in Canada - if you READ the guide, you will see there are three fees to be paid: the sponsor fee, $75, the applicant fee :$ 475 and the landing fee $490. The last fee doesnt' have to be paid right away - but if you delay in paying, there could be an additional 1-2 months delay in you getting your visa - most people pay it upfront in advance.
THe Raqam qawmi should be updated to show married, same with the Qaid aeli. You will get translated copies of these and the translation, as well as a COPY of the original are sent. Same with your army record, and the marriage certificate. [copy and translation are sent, you keep the original].
The finger print clearance was the last thing we did - its' good for three months - but we translated it, sent the original and the translation [this is the only one that original was sent].
Read this thread entirely many posters have posted the details from start to finish.
If you still need more help message me privately and perhaps my husband who is there in Cairo can assist you some.
