Hello guys,
Me and my wife are from Egypt and we want to catch FSWP 2014 before the express entry of 2015. We almost have all our documents ready, but we have an issue that we don't know if it's going to be an obstacle or not, it's that we are married through what so called URFI MARRIAGE. it's legal here in Egypt but not official. Is it going to work and is acceptable by CIC?
P.S. We're in a process of making it official and the rule by the court will be in late November, after that it'll get officially registered, but we want to apply these days so we can catch the cap.
Thank you for your reply

If you can get a certificate that is issued by the court or the government in english or translated to english, I dont see why not. You can check with the local CHC. They should have a list of requirements for Egyptian Citizens.
