Sponsoring a spouse from Egypt
- Thread starter mnassar
- Start date
ok,
in the guide it says nothing about all this work for the papers. However, I happen to call the Canadian Emabassy one day to see what transilation office is certified for them. Somebody was really nice to me and told me that all the info I need.
By the way, speak English, you get better service! ok. Here is the number for the embassy. 27918700
The papers has to be done in the following order.
Birth certificate long form has to be transilated from the health ministry in lazoughly. (what actually happens is that you take the form and take it to a transilation office which is the office I mentioned before) then the transilation can be legalized or ytwasak from the foreign affairs which they have many auhtorization offices as I was told.
The wedding certificate has to be transilated from the justice Ministry in Lazoughly and then you take the transilation to the foriegn affairs to legalize it.
If you are submiting your grades certificates, the university will do this for u.
Now for the qaid aeli, you have to get ur raqam qawmi status to be changed to married first, then take ur marriage certificate and ur raqam qawmi and go the civil registrar sigil madni in order to get it. Once you get that, you have to take it the arabic version to the foreign affairs (wezart el khargia) and legalize it. then take it to the transilation office. I highly sugesst the one above, they know what they are doing and provide fast service and reasonable price plus it is certified by the Canadian Embassy as they say.
Military record or Aefa just take it to the transilation office and do it there.
Mnassar, just go to wezart el khargia and you will find many offices there or just ask them. Even in Canada they do this too. Some gulf countries require that tawseek for ur documents and it is a common practice to legalize documetns.

Nessy,
Well, they say taht you have to submit the application within three months of fish and tasbiah date which is the police certificate. So submit it within three months of that date.
for the qaid aeli we did it for us. Not for his famaily. My friend from another forum who is already in Canada, did it for her and him only. This was my experience. I don't know about his family thing. All the papers were for us.
Mnassar, I was in the same boat as u. I am redoing documents but I sent mine already and in Canada they accept them regardless. However, Egypt will ask for more documents so since I am leaving the country soon and so as my husband, we decided to work on them now (1 month and half of headache). There is one Canadian citizen guided me through it all. When I called the embassy I didn't believe it. But the girl told me that it was the way to do it. lol. So finally this week, we got my hubby's birth certificate transilated from wezart el se7ah and all the rest i wrote above. so I am waiting for his AOR to submit them. I hope they send it before I leave or I will have to leave them with sombody here.

Yah Inshallah khair,
I wish our applicaiton was gone to Abu-dhabi, they start processing applications within 10 days of getting the approval for sponsorship!
I have been waiting now for 4 long weeks for it to start processing.
So Mnassar 28th of March 3 days have passed inshallah 2 more weeks and u should see something in E-cas using ur wife's last name and info and your copy 2 receipt number.
Don't follow the timelines on the website, they are not very accurate. I pray everyday! I am sure you will love Canada and you will never want to leave it.

Well, my husband was working in a gulf country so they are responsiable for all the sponsorship applications for gulf countires . So we could of sent it there. However, the Egyptian Embassy kept playing the next week game with us and didn't give us the fish w tashih for my hubby. A family issue came up and we moved to Cairo so we did fish and tashibh here. But the delay from the Egyptian Embassy costed us 5 months. My husband could of been in Canada now if we had applied through Abu-dhabi. People who applied in October and November there are already in Canada. They do everything via email. Ie, they send u a letter and an email as well. This is so great. I like emails better than letters. My sister's application went through them and was processed in 4 months and the whole process was from november to early march! Done!
Also the requirments are different if you are applying through abu-dhabi. No qaid aeli, no official transilation from ministries, etc. Just a certified transilation will be fine as you have to fill the Asia forms. So when I came here, we had to redo all this work for our application. When we realized that qaid aeli was going to take forever, we decided to send our application in and submit it later. At the end we found that the lady at the sigil madni was a lier and I don't know what she wanted coz the qaid aeli doesn't list the nationality and she kept telling us that the nationality has to be changed. Weird.
For everyone here. You have to change ur raqam qawmi to say that u are married or ur wife will not be able to get any records from Egypt in case anything happened ba3d el shar.

U keep the original, just take a copy with u to the transilation office and get it stamped by them. I think the aefa original is given to u once and u can't issue another one so be careful. Guard it with ur life and take it with u to Canada as you may need it if you go under security clearance there for jobs
