Applied in Nairobi in March 2006 with AOR April 2006. Since then .... only a letter in 2009 asking if I was still interested. Have no idea what is happening with applications filed under the the 'old system'. If we are not under consideration any more, then they need to let us know and refund...

"Should is disclose that fact to DMP, when i do medicals?" ABSOLUTELY!! You must be completely transparent in all your dealings with CIC. If your medical condition is mild as you say .... just get your doctor or a specialist to confirm that in a letter which you will take with you when you do...

CHC Nairobi has a very long waiting time. Some applicants go back to early 2006 with no news. You should join http://www.trackitt.com and see where others who applied in Nairobi have reached. It is a bit discouraging especially since there has been little movement in recent times for any of the...

I was issued a visitor's visa last year and had no problem. Just be completely honest in your application and demonstrate your intention to return to your home country after visiting. The only issue I would envisage is if your daughter is out-of-status in Canada and your stated intention is to...

The queue is long and slow moving. One character we have learnt to cultivate is patience. Nairobi applicants at the following site are waiting for 2004 applications to be processed. http://www.trackitt.com/canada-immigration-trackers/federal-skilled-workers/

I couriered them a letter by DHL followed-up with the email a week later. I received a response less than one week after my email was sent. You must be careful not to 'bug' them with too much correspondence.

I have sent an email to NROBI-IMMIGRATION[at]international.gc.ca and they replied using the same. I needed some documents returned to allow me to renew my passport and they replied with instructions on when I could collect them. They will not respond to trivial enquires and they will not...

Take a look at http://www.sacanada.org/ This site has a lot of relevant and useful advice particularly for Saffers

DON’T BE THE VICTIM OF A SCAM. If the offer seems too good to be true, it probably is. If you go with this offer, prepare to lose your hard earned $1000 plus.

Dear Lilly, One thing you will quickly realise as you embark on the immigration journey is that you have to do a lot of homework. Most forums like this will only be able to assist once you have done your bit. Canada is a huge country and no one can advise you on where to live (unless they know...

We come from all over the east and central African region and most of us have applied ‘independently’ (by this, I assume you mean we did not use agents). The Canadian High Commission in Nairobi as well as attending to residents and citizens of Kenya, serves the region and processes applications...

The immigration process is complicated enough without you complicating matters further. If you want to study, go ahead and apply for a student visa. I would not tie my desire for further education to an immigration process that is long and uncertain. The challenge with applying simultaneously...

A TRV is a temporary resident visa - usually given to visitors. You don’t have to go into unnecessary detail e.g. indicate that you are on an exploratory trip. You are allowed to visit Canada anytime as a tourist or for some other short term reason --- you just have to demonstrate honestly (and...

Why would you jeopardize your PR application by doing something illegal at this stage if you have already applied?

Did anyone out there (completed or in process) apply in Nairobi? What has been your experience and timeline??

No you cannot appeal the decision. You can only send in a fresh application claiming your improved language ability. Your application was assessed against the supporting documents you sent in at the time of initial application. The officer awarded points for your language ability based on what...
