hi Hudda,
its nice to hear that your application is under process, since they asked for medical you will certainly get a reply within three months if the medicals are ok and if they dont need any other documents. they should normally request for passport as normal process because they have to issue visa before the medical expire. so hope that everything goes fine on your side. by the way where and when are you supposed to land??

You also submit appl. with medical result together, if they will get back to me in three month that will be nice, that means some were in the end of Feb or march they will ask pp, I wish, that way in Sept. can start school.

Thanks..
Hudda

Hi Sheik,

I am looking forward to going to Edmonton, Alberta. That is where my husband lives. I don't have a lot of experience with job situations but my husband assures me that getting jobs especially in Alberta is not hard. The question is whether you get a job in your preferred field or whether you have to make do with something else until you find your way around. From the things I have read online Toronto seems to have a lot more job opportunities as well as education opportunities. You have to however be prepared to first work in another line of work. This way you are prepared for either of the outcomes. I wish you all the best. In the meantime you can check out the skilled workers page. It may be more forthcoming in terms of people's experiences.

Hello Hudda,

Most times it takes CIC Nairobi TOOOOOO long to make contact or inform us of what is happening. My husband was approved as a sponsor on 5th December and they sent an email saying the files would be transferred to Nairobi. Since then we haven't heard from them. My husband called CIC Mississauga and they asked him to give it three months. Sometimes all we can do is be patient. The good thing is that nowadays once they start working on the file it does not take very long. Hold in there until 3 months are over -although I doubt it will take that long. All the best.

Hello,
I'm not in the sponsor team but in the QSW team. I echoed to what you said as I'm waiting for my passport back since September. They take toooooooooo long to process the visas...I keep my fingers crossed.

Hello MALAG,

This process can try anyone's patience to the limits. I often wonder whether these people realize we arrange our lives based on their timelines and their updates. It can take its toll after a while.

Are you applying via the Nairobi office or where did you send your passport to?

All the best!!!

Hello Darrppy78

I got my QSW in December 2011 and sent my whole document to Sydney, then Sydney transferred my request in Nairobi, they started working on my request since February 2012. My passport was sent there in September, and up to now NOTHING....It's frustrating :-X

Thank you for your reply, as I told you
I login to the following website services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/?app=ecas&lang=en, Client Application Status, I put UCI and my information once I log in says Sponsorship Application Status = Decision Made, it is the right link or not if not plz send me.

Also, it did not explain what that decision is that, I thought it is for first stage which is the sponsor eligibility, or approval, so I am a little stressed, anyways plz let me know if the right website I am in.

Thanks again
Hudda

I haven't tried to put UCI, but I always put the Identification number EP+ 9 digits.
Yes, that's the right website. Decision made means: you got the PR and soon will receive your passport.

Hi MALAG,

Thank you for reply, I usually check it by UCI but, today as you said I did check it by Identification number EP+ 9 digits, and says below message.

"
We were not able to identify you using the information you provided. There could be three possible reasons:
Please be sure the information you entered is correct and then try again.
This service is only available to clients with applications in process. We may have received your application but not yet begun processing it.
"

But I did put the right information, that means may be the application not yet started? how come it says decision made, and Medical results have been received.

I am really confused pls help if you have experience this thing,

Thank you everyone i hope to hear from all.................. :( ??? ???

Hello hudda,
When you received the letter/e-mail from the Sydney, at the top: you can see two numbers UCI with 8 numbers or the file number starting with EP + 8 numbers. Use those numbers to check your e-cas.
HAve you already done your Medical ? It's bizarre if yours showed already decision made and Medical results have been received. .....May be you can contact Nairobi on this issue.
