Dear all,

I have received an email from the Canadian embassy in Cairo regarding the sponsorship of my wife which made me confused....
• I sent them all the documents they asked for in the email they sent already when I submitted the sponsorship application but they are asking again here for the same papers ...I am wondering if they need just a photocopies or they need new papers with new dates...
• I am confused if they need my wife scanned copy current passport and previous passport because her current passport is just few month old or they need the actual current and previous passport....and if they need the actual passport why they need it now if they do not have final decision in the case because she might need for travel
• They also asked me for updated Police certificate from Palestinian authority despite that I sent them one with the sponsorship application which is still valid until July 2017....the problem here if I will ask for new police certificate it takes more than one month to get it and here they gave me 15 days to provide them with the documents

below is the message I received...I will appreciate your advice and input in this case
