Consulate General of Egypt in Montreal

This consulate makes me ashamed to be Egyptian. I have been trying to reach them for over a year now with regular emails, phone calls, and messages to their facebook page which by the way is their only public facing online presence... This is shameful and embarrassing! After finally giving up I'm going to spend a boat load of money to go to Montreal in person for a week and just show up at their door hopefully then I might finally get someone to interact with me.

Had a nice experience, they reply well through their email and fast. when i applied for a document, It was sent the next day although the processing time was 2-4 buisness days.

I am writing about my experience at the Egyptian Embassy in Montreal, and unfortunately it was a very bad experience. I hope someone from the officials sees my comment. A bad experience at the embassy, ​​especially from the lady who handles the transactions present to respond to people upon entering. She deals rudely and in a dirty manner with customers, with a below-low level of morality.My husband waited in line to ask her aboutfinishing some papers this lady grabbed two papers without explaining anything, what he should do with papers, or where he would go or receive papers. she throw them on the desk and shouted at him and said, “Go on.” After that, my husband went to her again to take a pen to write something and also to understand what he should do with these papers. she shouted at him loudly. Just as she was standing in the street and saying, “I won’t do anything for you today.” My husband answered her very politely and said to her, “I need a pen, please.” she threw a pen on a desk and looked at him with disgust. so far we don’t understand what we should do with this papers and we have to go there again ,but I hope this time we can speak to someone can help us.Also I saw this lady scolding an old man because he asked her for help to finish papers and asked her for some information and the places he was supposed to go to to finish his papers (she responded to him rudely, loudly and screaming and said to him, I will not help you, help yourself and she refused to help him!).The person who stands at the embassy to serve customers in a place like this is supposed to be highly ethical, patient, respectful, and appreciates and respects the value of the place in which she stands if she can not control her behaviour just she can stay at home and let others help the community .I hope that the officials monitor the actions of this woman in particular and stop her at her limits!

I requested for a police clearance and sent money order of $40, unfortunately didnt receive the application form that they sent back to me i gues its canada post mistake, so i requested another one and send them another self address envelope but they are asking me again to send another $40. Is this how it goes? Does everytime you will just request for an application form which i didnt receive i need i to pay another $40? This is ridiculous!!! Very bad!

Never pick the phoneNo website, only Facebook which is not helpful at all.Sorry I missed the importance of the Facebook. It is good wag to show the ambassador picture in different events.

Went for making a Power of Attorney (Tawkeel), and it took an hour.I hope they become faster + extend their working hours in the future.PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT:- Better to call them to inquire about what’s needed to submit before going.- They ONLY accept CASH payments.

Maybe I got lucky, but no problem in obtaining my Egyptian visa as a non Canadian. Called, a lady picked up, sent in passport and received it back within 1 week. Good experience

Most corrupted Embassy in Canada. I can’t believe that. They deserve negative ratings not just one. These people don’t know how to deal with humans in the modern society. If you apply for a visa they don’t have specific times to get the approval and it could take one, two years and then you have to print it out within one month otherwise it’s not useful. Which means they plan your travel and you don’t plan it for yourself. Also, I figured out lately, the system does this on purpose because there are people who sell the visas under the table( Black Market)for more money. That’s how corrupted is thesystem of visas right now until proven fixed.If you have time I will suggest watching Joe Rogan & Sonny Episode on YouTube.You will understand the frustration!

There should not be stars even to rate this place… went for renewal of my wife’s Egyptian ID on April 2021, till December 2022 no news. We went to ask & one lady mocked us saying: you’ve just remembered to come & ask about it!! Should we really go to check on what they did though we call several times & very hard to reach! Why they take our contacts & make it hard on people! Service in Egypt is really awesome & very respectful. Don’t waste your money & time in that place. This even shouldn’t represent Egypt. It’s a shame to Egypt. Money is gone, for sure. We had to re-do all the papers again in Egypt & was so easy & more respectful & price is waaaaay better. In Canada, they count 1 Egyptian pound for 1 Canadian dollar. So 100 EGP= 100 CAN$.. shame on you Egyptian consulate in Canada:(

I went to certify my mother's death certificate. It was very easy and the staff was very courteous. Though some people were very nasty and wanted to do things that are out of the regulations, the staff tried calmly to explain to them the problem and didn't loose their cool .Very professional, i thank them.
