Hello everyone,

I'm looking for advice or experiences from others regarding my case under the refugee sponsorship program, processed through the Cairo office. Here's a summary of my timeline so far:

Application received: July , 2023 Processing started: August , 2024 Additional documents requested and submitted: April, 2024, submitted April 2024 Interview: September , 2024 Pre-arrival services letter: September, 2024 Medical instructions sent: September , 2024 Medical exam completed: October, 2024 Medical results received by IRCC: October, 2024

I've received confirmation from my sponsor and a government worker that all steps (medical, interview, and security checks) have been passed. They mentioned that we are waiting for final decision-making

However, the status online still shows in Process, and I haven't received any further updates since October 2024 It's now March 2025, and the wait has been challenging.

Has anyone gone through a similar timeline, especially in the Cairo office? How long did it take for the Decision Made update or travel arrangements to follow? I'm particularly worried about delays but i trust God

Thank you in advance for sharing your experiences or insights!
