[lonelyguy]

If I remember well your Spouse is from Uganda , right? if yes I believe your file is being processed from Daresalam. that's where you will get PPR from. I don't know if you can submit your passport in person unless the ask you to do it. when they requested us to renew the medical, and police report , here it was a remark, ''Please note that submission in person will not be accepted. ''.
For passport, here is what they say'' STEP 4: SUBMIT YOUR DOCUMENTS
All required documents must be submitted in one single package.
If you reside in Tanzania, Zambia, Rwanda, Burundi, Comoros or Seychelles, you may use the services of
VFS Global Tanzania by following the instructions on their website at:

Thanks Former Lonelyguy.
Does that mean when the passport is returned to us, we also pick it up at VFS Global Uganda?
Roughly, how long should it take for them to return the passport back to us?

Hello this thread is so quiet guys what's going on VO Darsalam someone tell me please

Elger!, I thought you got COPR, it's has been long time since documents request!!, did you hear from them after that? Dar VO must be super sloooow!!

 

[Elger]

No news yet my dear. Yes it's been long since I was requested remedicals it's 3 months 3 weeks since I handed in but nothing at all
Well we keep the patience no choice

 

[Tun701]

That's a long time since your remedical Elger! I would email them and ask them if there has been any update on your application since it has been over 3 months since the results were submitted. I always emailed to the regular email not a case enquiry. Make sure you put in your application number and your spouses UCI number. Sometimes they answer you and sometimes they don't but it's worth a try!!

 

[skwan]

I don't even know what to say, I'm discouraged at how long this is taking.....
Also, the frustration is that they give you a maximum of 90 days to enter the country.....yet we have to waste more money buying a last minute ticket instead of purchasing one that is 6 months in advance. Know what I mean!

 

[MNM2015]

I share your frustration at how long this is taking, especially with no contact at all, but not sure where you are getting this 90 days to land rule. You must land based on the expiry of your medical which is one year from the date of your medical. Depending on how far in advance of submitting your application you did the medical originally and if you are asked to redo your medical before the COPR is issued you could have much longer or even less than 90 days to land (I've seen less than a week on this forum before).

 

[skwan]

it's a big dilemma now then

For our situation, we either wait and I finish my studies and then we go later when she redoes her medical, or we go right away.
Either way, it seems like we'll have to cough out extra money as our little one is turning 2 by October and so if we leave after that, his 10% airfare is waived and we travel together OR we travel now without the mom but wait until whenever she gets approved.

We are really hoping to leave latest September.

 

[MNM2015]

Just to clarify, it's not your choice if you redo the medical and are granted addition time. You can only redo if they ask you to and this would be if they will not finalize your case prior to your original medical expiring. When did your wife do her medical? In some cases they can extend the expiry of the medical by a few months but I have not seen that in the African VOs.

I understand how hard it is to have your life in limbo, not knowing when you will be able to start your life together in Canada. The only way to have some idea is to order your gcms notes. I would really recommend you do that. It only costs $5 and will give you an idea of the status of your application.


It's so disappointing to see no progress from Dar. I believe 3 people who applied this year through Nairobi have already been approved. What is happening with the promise of faster processing for straight forward complete cases?

Has anyone voluntarily sent additional proof to Dar? I am considering doing that.

Straight forward applications are always processed faster even before that promise. It looks like that promise only favors applicants from visa exempt countries and inland backlogs. Just wait and wait, don't always be impressed by politicians.

They have really sped up processing for India and Nairobi seems quite fast now too. It's not only for the inland and visa exempt countries. However Dar seems to moving at the same snails pace as before. But like you said nothing we can do but wait and wait and then wait some more.

I just wish things would move fast! The wait is long and boring!
All the best guys!
