Dear Friends, members of the 2nd ITUC World Congress,
I would really wish to partcipate in your congress in Vancouver,
but unfortunately, for unknown
reasons, the Canadian embassy in Cairo have not issue the visa
for me yet untl now nor revealed to
me the reasons behind doing so, though I applied for the visa on
May 30, 2010, and presented all
the required documents, including (ITUC invitaton, electronic
tckets, hotel reservaton, and health
insurance). Moreover we have sent more than three messages via
email and fax, which is the only
way for visa applicants to deal with the embassy because they
refuse to answer any inquires through
telephone, however we have got an only replay via email on June
20, 2010 says that "your file iscurrently with the officer for
decision". In fact, I am so sorry for the situaton of Canadian
embassy
which raises many queston marks, especially afer ITUC had sent
many messages to the embassy in
order to facilitate the process of obtaining my visa. Worth to
menton, my passport, with which I
apply for the Canadian visa, includes a 5 years open visa to
USA, and a 2 years mult entry Schengen
Visa.
Dear friends, I would like to partcipate with you, while the
Egyptan workers' protests for their
missing economic rights are increasing, shaping their way to
obtain their right in forming freely their
own independent unions which enable them to defend their rights.
Nonetheless, I am totally sure
that being absent out of my will, would not influence your
concern and solidarity which is always a
cornerstone for Egypt's workers in their struggles.
I wish to thank the General Secretary of ITUC, Guy Ryder, for
invitng me to the congress, also I would
like to thank the friends at ITUC work team, Mustapha Tilili,
Isabelle, Regina for their sincere efforts
to help me to aend the congress.
Best regards
Kamal Abbas
General Coordinator of CTUWS
