Additional information about this Canadian Embassy in Lebanon:
The relationship between Canada and Lebanon is unique because of both a large Canadian population in Lebanon and a large Lebanese population in Canada. Lebanese immigrants have been arriving in Canada since the late 1800s, and Lebanon lays claim to the title of largest source country of Arab immigrants to Canada, where the Lebanese population is about 270,000.
Should You Contact a Lawyer First…?
It is important to remember that when applying for Canadian Immigration, you are required to submit your application to the Canadian Embassy of your nationality. However, there are some exceptions to this rule. You should always contact an immigration lawyer to assist you with the procedures associated with the Canadian Embassy of your region because the Canadian Embassy in Lebanon may have its own set of special rules and procedures.

Hello Jenan
Did you get that email from the Embassy yet? Security checks also can take a very long time especially for applicants from the Middle East. Let me know what the status of his case is.

Hello , i applied for sponsorship and my application has been received on September 2011. The visa office in Beirut contacted me in october 2012 by email asking for updated medical exam and police report.unfortunately the email went to junk and I knew nothing about it till they sent my husband an email end of february asking for those papers and they gave us 2 weeks to send them.we did and just a few days ago they updated my status ,now it says that it’s in process and they started processing it on march 18 and medical was received.i am now in Canada on a visit visa since July and I have extended my stay just a month ago..I would really like to know whether I’m almost done..it’s always better than being away from my husband but tough not being able to work or study etc…I wanna know if this delay has affected the process …I expected any status update or any inquiries would be posted on my account not sent to email..
Hello Carol
If you missed your visa validity for immigration, then you would have to apply again for the visa unfortunately. Did you keep copies of your old file? It may assist you in preparing a new application but it depends on the category under which you originally applied.

Hi ,I would be very grateful if you would reply on my question as it is very important to me,Thankyou. I have gained the approval to immigrate to canada in 2009 but I couldn’t travel at that time and I had to miss this chance for personal reasons,(as I Had to take care of my sick mother and couldn’t leave her alone in syria) but now I would like to have this chance again and immigrate to canada ,would I benefit from my old file in the immigration office? especiall after the situation here in syria is getting hard?
Hi michael, its been a long time since ive talked to you, but im here to tell you that yesturday my husband did an interview with an officer at the embassy in lebanon yesturday and they pulled a 2hr interview with him and after he was done they told him he is approved and had succeeded in the interview. He asked them after the interview when he would recieve his visa and they told him it could take a while perhaps up to 2 weeks, a month to 6 months all depends. They asked him for a second medical examinating because his last one was a year and half ago and they also told him they will be doing a security check aswell. They told him they will send me an email in regards to when he should do his medical exam and that they will contact him. What im confused about is when they sent me the scheduling of his interview they asked for his passport and seems like they didn’t ask for it during or after the interview. What does this mean? i would like to know what is going to happen next. Please help me
Best regards,
Jenan
Hello Garo
Thank you for the post. The process for Canadian PR can vary but generally one year. You would have to get an assessment as to your qualifications to determine if you are eligible for Canadian PR first.

Hello Michael, I am Lebanese Citizen who is married to American Citizen and have no children yet and live in Lebanon for the past 3 years… We have been thinking about (permenently migrating to Canada) How long does the prosses take and (would the prosses be any different since im married to an American Citizen? Would there be special forms for us to apply? Thank you for your time Michael Niren…
Hello Sara
This is frustrating but you should just follow their instructions. They likely have not yet made a decision on your case and want additional information first before making a final decision.
Good luck!

Hello,
My name is Sara and I am Lebanese. I applied for a student visa at the beginning of November and received a phone call earlier this week. I was told to collect my answer the following Thursday 27th December from the embassy (as there will be public holidays for Christmas). I was not told whether my visa application was successful or not. In order to make use of the limited time I have before my university is due to start in Canada I would like to know if I got the visa or not. How should I find this out? I have tried calling the embassy but there is no answer. I would appreciate your help.
Hi Jenan.
Thank you for the update. I will look into this for you.
Michael
Hi michael, unfortunately i still haven’t heard anything yet…can u please send me an email regarding some information about all this i need to know what is going on with my husbands papers..i called the embassy in lebanon and they said they cannot give me any info regarding the application because they have no access to it i think its ridiculous….it didn’t cross my mind that the email would go to the junk email. But please reply to me asap.
Hi Jenan
Thanks for the update. Let me look into this further. If you still have not heard back let me know. Check your spam or trash folder on your own email. It is possible that our reply might have gone there.
Thanks Michael
Hi, Michael i have read your comment and i sent an email to the infoplace.com. I still haven’t heard anything about my application its been a year already. A lady replied to my email and asked for my husbands name and i gave it to her about 5 days ago and i still haven’t heard anything. The embassy in Lebanon has no contact number so there’s no way i can reach them. I went to the embassy while i was back home 2 months ago and they wouldn’t let me in even though i am Canadian citiizin. They asked me to fill out a form and after a month or so they sent my husband an email regarding his application and they said they are still working on papers from June 2011, and that his file is still in Que and they will inform him as soon as they reach his file. Please help me on trying to speed up his file what should i do?
Hello Nadine
It is possible that the Embassy can mail you your visa. But depends on what kind of visa, why you are in Canada and other factors.
Hello Firas
Thank you for the question. You can apply for a temporary resident visa (TRV) at your nearest Canadian Embassy depending on where you are located. You do not need to apply in your home country for temporary visas. The TRV application must be prepared properly showing that you have ties outside of Canada and that you intend to stay in Canada for a legitimate purpose and a temporary duration.

Hello i would just like to ask a question, basically the canadian embassy asked for my last procedures which i finished while i was in Lebanon, right now im in canada, i was wondering if they accept my file do i have to be in lebanon in person to receive my visa or can lawyer go and get it for me? Or can the embassy send it by mail to canada
Hello Jenan
Thank you for your question. Your husband’s application is taking a long time. I would be more agressive in trying to contact the Embassy. They are always backlogged but we should be able to find answers. You can contact us at info@visaplace.com
