STEPS IN SPONSORSHIP

[poetresse]

Hi,
I'm looking for some help in knowing the steps that need to be taken to sponsor my boyfriend once we are married. I am planning to go back to marry him, and would like to know what is needed to be done there before arriving back to Canada.
I am Canadian born and met my Egyptian boyfriend online. I have met him a few times on my first visit last year to Cairo.
I would greatly appreciate any help. Thanks

These are the main ones that I can think of, just to give you an idea:

1) You can order a sponsorship kit from CIC.
2) Fill out your forms. Some info has to be filled after you got married
3) Take his forms with you to Cairo and ask him to fill them out.
4) He has to get his documents translated (if they are not in English or French)
Some document that he needs are (birth certificate, your marriage certificate, police clearance, military service, if he has, and so on)
5) He has to find a doctor from the list of designated doctors in Egypt:

And go through their process
6) You will have to pay the fees online (most probably $1040)
7) There is also form that you both need to sign.

Gather all the documents.
Bring them all back to Canada.

8) You will need to mail all to CPC-Mississauga.

Do not forget to read through all documents once you received the kit... I may have missed some key info.
You can actually download most of the documents that they send in their kit, from the website, beforehand.

Good Luck.

Thank you TanTan, your list was quite helpful,
I was actually looking for step-by-step once I arrive there in Cairo. I would like to know what needs to be done and where we need to go to get things done....how long must I stay in Cairo before I can return to Canada...is there a certain amount of time I must stay there for?
All and any help would be appreciated, thanks
