Hi itmeysh, It is quite normal for applications to go out in a medium to large shipping box instead of an envelope- I used a medium sized fedex box and put all my 3 envelopes in it separated as sponsor, sponsored person and evidence This is what I found most helpful during organising and send...

Hey Daizzy123, That is great news that Nairobi VO is actually emailing quite quickly-that is good news. I would respond and agree to the IOMS. It is a standard procedure for stateless persons without a passport, and the document they will provide will grant your spouse entry to Canada upon...

@Applechunks-my thought on patience exactly! It has only been 10 days, and I cannot seem to stop worrying about everything and anything and counting down hours.. ???

When is a good interval to apply for the GCMS notes?
