[Ashsher]

Hello Chipolopolo, the much awaited time is now over ;D ;D just got news that passport has been dispatched from embassy... We will be living in vancouver, BC. Looking forward to it all....how are you settling in ontario?

Congratulations to all those who have finally gotten their applications approved.

Just a quick question. The diagram that explains each step of the application process, states that Medicals received by CIC is under the Decision Made category. I submitted my medicals upfront with my application. Is this still applicable to me?

it should not apply to family class, as thats the only category where you can do medical upfront. AS soon as you receive your file number, you will be able to see medicals have been received in ecas.

Dear Abdinasir

From my understanding your VISA is ready all you need is to start make travel arrangement,

Please contact the email below and give them your application number, they will make all your travel arranement, I am assuming you are holding a Somali passport which is not valid for Canadian travel, in that case they will issue you a Single Journey Travel Document (SJTD) this is a one way document that can assist you to reach Canada but you still need IOM assistance during transit airports since your not travelling on a passport.

Here is the contact detail of IOM Canada they can make your travel arrangment and they will also request the SJTD from Nairobi Embassy , Once IOM Addis Ababa receives the SJTD you can fly to Canada.

Remember you need to select a date which you want to Fly to Canada because on the SJTD they specify flight number and flight date.

Regards

HELLOOOOOOOO all my forum friends. It gives me great pleasure to let you know that I finally recieved my passport stamped, sealed and delivered this morning. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D 8) 8) 8) Together with the passport I also got a copy of my COPR which gives the date by which I'm supposed to be in canada by. I read in other posts that some people got their pictures and other documents that they sent to immigration back, however that was not the case with me. I'm not sure why but that doesn't matter as the most important thing is the visa with the COPR. Now the next step is winding down for a new journey and a great life ahead with my better half.

To all those that are still waiting, be patient and let things happen, everyone's time will come.... For all those that have yet to put in your application just a word of advice, make sure you check, double check and triple check your application to make sure you have answered all the questions. Cross your T's and dot your I's. Make their work easier by providing the information they need to come to a decision. To avoid delays send them a flawless application. Time is of value so use it wisely.

To all my friends out there, good luck and keep us informed... Will be back to post updates. Cheers mates!!

Nairobi is doing well time wise. Our application took exactly 5 months and 2 weeks and that includes the Christmas break. Good luck all

To those Nairobi applicants that have landed in Ontario.. how did you manage to get your ontario drivers license?.. did the gov't recognize the kenyan drivers license you had, or did you have to do the full graduated license system in Ontario? How long did it take to obtain?

any help would be appreciated.

Hi bono1, unfortunately ontario will not swap a kenyan licence. only these places : any Canadian province or territory
Canadian Forces Europe
U.S. States
Australia, Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Great Britain, the Isle of Man, Japan, Korea, Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland, Switzerland.

However you can still get credit for your kenyan licence if you have been driving for over 2 years. You can take a G2 road test immediately, together will eye test, and written test, and if you pass get a full G licence. If you drove for less than two years in kenya then you will go through the graduation process.

I was lucky enough to have an american licence, and it was just swapped for a full G licence. Make sure you get a letter too from kenya

Hello Everyone,

I followed this forum from google. Here is my situation.
I submitted sponsorship application for my wife in Kenya on October 8th, 2014.
I received an email from CIC saying that they approved me as a sponsor and that they submitted my application to Nairobi Visa office on December 16th, 2014.
My e-CAS says application received since December 16th.

Any advice? or I just have to wait to the next step?

Thanks.
