Hi there
I applied for federal skilled worker visa in Tel Aviv a week ago and
got a file number.

The immigration officer told me to translate my employers cover letters
from Hebrew to English although they usually accept letters in Hebrew.

What is the meaning of this? Is there a possability that I won't be
granted a PR even though they openned me a file?

Do they need those translations in order that the immigration authority
in Canada will check my cover letter?

Thanks for your reply

1.  All you got was acknowledgement of your application, not approval.
2.  if you read the instruction guide, it says that all documents must be
translated into either French or English.

1. I know, but they wouldn't open a file without seeing if I would
really have a chance to get PR.

2. In Israel you don't need to translate documents that are in Hebrew.
My case was exception and I would like to know why.

False to both assertions.  They create a file for every application that
appears to be complete snf sll documents not in English or French must be
accompanied by a translation into English or French.

Just to put the topic to bed, here is what the Tel Aviv office specific
instructions state: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/guides/E37039.pdf

"
Gather documents as listed. Check (??) each item on the checklist and attach
the checklist to your

documents (a paper clip will do). Place all documents in a sealed envelope.
Do not send originals. Send

notarized photocopies of all documents except the police certificates, which
must be originals. If your

documents are not in English or French, send a notarized (certified)
translation with a copy of the originals."

O.K. I won't argue with you, but take it in consideration that things
might be different between places.

Since there is an immigration officer here, I have a question for him.
Why applications are turned down?
I am quite affraid that I will be refused even though I submitted all
the documents and recieved a file number.

I don't see what the issue is. The rules say that you have to provide
English or French translations. (Look at PMM's post ) The CO is simply
asking you to provide English transaltions of your Hebrew documents per
that rule. As simple as that.
Why do you think your application is going to be denied? Stop being
paranoid and provide the translations as soon as possible and relax.
All the best !

I am sorry that I am fanatic about it but the immigration office IS
EXCEPTING DOCUMENTS IN HEBREW on the 6 of February.
I submitted most of my documents in Hebrew but I was asked to provide
translations to the employers letters, a thing that isn't usually
required
and that is why I am so paranoid about being denied.
Anyway, I provided them the translation a week later.

I hope I will get the PR as soon as possible. The process here in
Israel is getting longer.
I remember that 3 years ago it took only 3 months from opening a file
to stamping passport and now it is more than a year to most applicants
: -( .

Have a nice day or good night wherever you are...

Yes, you will be denied. You are not welcome in Canada anyways.

Join the club. We all paid our money and took our chances. You are no
different. And guess what, It will take years to find out if you were
successful or not.
