Consulate General of Egypt in Montreal

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 about finishing 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!

This place has nothing to do with professionalism. You feel that you are just in a UPS store or something. I submitted an official complain. They can't ignore all the negative comments here on Google and keep operating. Also funny that they only accept cash, whereas in all the consulates and embassies out there you can pay with debit or credit without an issue. Not sure if they try to avoid taxes or what but the moment you step in that place you feel uncomfortable and want to leave asap.

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 Marketfor more money. That’s how corrupted is the system 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!

It has been so frustrating to deal with the consulate for anything. Services used to be a lot more efficient worth our pride about our country. Unfortunately lately services to expat has been a torture. I have been trying to apply for my son citizenship for months eventhough he has an egyptian BC. But apparently it is not a registered in the system and the consulate has not been helpful at all. So many citizens need to renew Egyptian ID's, nothing is being done, just collecting information from expats and nothing is being done. There is no communication what so ever, no one answer phones, email replies have nothing to do with inquiries in the emails. Question to the ministry of immigration, when are we going to have efficient services back again? It is very disappointing to have this level of representation in a country that is know to have many Egyptians expats.

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

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.

Almost impossible to reach them, really very disappointing and frustrating!! Can’t believe that as an Egyptian citizen living abroad can’t reach my so called country’s representatives in order to get any sort of information or help in case needed!!.. also very unfortunate that whoever is responsible doesn’t take “”obviously “”any reviews as a serious and indicating problem issue and tries to get it solved or at least trying to ease the pain we are experiencing in order to reach any person in charge in this position!! Really soooo frustrating!!

Wallahi haram to leave us calling and emailing them for months and not answer once. Is that supposed to be the people who take care of us here? Not even acknowledging us by a text as if we’re nothing. If it was upto me the whole staff needs to be changed starting from the manager

it's unfortunate that with all those mediocre reviews that whoever is responsible for this consulate is unable to implement changes to make it on par with how a proper official office should operate. wonder what else are they concerned with if they are not thinking about their main mission which helping those who require their services and making sure they communicate effectively. pretty sad to see similar offices in other countries operate at completely different level update: few months later and few 100$ spent, the bureaucracy prevails, mediocre service and incompetent staff, the service i require is outstanding, being rejected/returned with absolute cryptic unhelpful hand written note asking to go through additional hoops some of which are completely unrelated to my request to show that whoever wrote those notes did not even pay attention to what my ask is, no wonder they do prevent any comments on their Facebook page surely they would have a lot of unhappy *customers* - why would they leave such incompetent staff is beyond me.

if I could give this place negative stars I could, I acquired about getting my national card and they told me I had to go all the way to Egypt. What is the point of a consulate then if I have to go all the way to the country to get a simple card done. In the beginning of the year I needed to apply for my passport and told me they are not taking applications when I got there although I had previously spoken to someone that said I can come in. When I asked why they weren't advising it on their website they said I should have checked their Facebook. Seriously Facebook a government embassy and I should be getting my information from Facebook????? honestly the worst
