I have a very special male friend in Algeria , who lives with his family , parents , brothers, sister. niece & nephew. I have written letters, sent gifts. So far the gifts are not of any importance to anyone, but my male friend. Why, does he not get my things. Are they all thiefs over there? Trying to get him here is another problem. That Paris Office, just is not too fair. I do know, that Canada cannot support the world, but i am not asking them too. How do u investigate these ppl. There is bad in every country, not just Algeria. I cannot afford immigration lawyers. Why do the government make things so complicated? Can anyone out there help me please,? Thank You,
Misu

we are so in the same situation,I am from canada and my boyfriend is from algeria and just to get a visa for a visit is proving to be very difficult and as far as the mail, heres the scoop, letters will usually get there,but will be opened and if you send gifts,depending what is marked on the package, it will go missing, never send electronics,jewelery or anything very valuable. letters usually take 3-4 weeks and packages 2-2 1/2 months unless you send them by air then letters about 2 weeks and the 2-3 weeks for packages, but like i said mostly everything you send will be opened....

i am an Australian and now live in algeria my family always sends packages over and they always get to me. it generally takes around 6 weeks to 2 months for them to arrive or it sometimes takes longer and unless its a letter i ALWAYS have to go to the town post office to sign for it. and sometimes they dont send notifications out letting you no that you have a parcel.

and in my case air mail or express mail has not helped anything arrive quicker.

I receive packages routinely from my family but it is expensive by air mail. It normally takes 2 to 3 weeks. They also send it to a business address and not our home. This seems to be much more reliable.

First off if your male friend is someone you want to marry I highly recommend www.rapidvisa.com Then about the mail. I live in the USA and my male friend lives in Algeria. It always took 2 months for him to receive a package. It was always opened and in the years that we have been friends there was only one thing missing and that was a book. It is what it is. I am betting other countries have the same problem. You can send a package next day air to Mexico, and when it arrives there it takes 6 weeks to be delivered. Good luck
