NAIROBI OUTLAND APPLICANTS 2014

[Alwy Alsaggaf]

My application was transfer to tanzania visa office. Curious if anyone in Nairobi applicants know how.long is the process or the timeline

I thought Nairobi was the only one in east Africa.

Hey OhCanada.Welcome to the forum

Did you say Tanzania Visa office? I didn't know they had a visa office in Tanzania. I hope that eases the congestion in Nairobi becasueit's taking forever!!
Goodluck to all

Hi guys!

I just received my AOR and my file was finally transferred to Nairobi on July 21st. Can someone please tell me what the next step is? I see people talking about some notes and keeping track of their application? I know this may sound redundant, but I'm confused as to what to do next so any help will be highly appreciated.

Thank you all for your constant support!

[quote author=zainy Gongrats at least your file is transferred , thats good news for now , next step will be the visa office will start reviewing ur file ( sponsored person ) and if complete and no document is missing , and no interview is needed they just request PPR , If interview required that will take little long simply u will hear some thing in a few months ( i would say 3 months ) , to give u an idea my file was transferred to nirobi in January 6 /2015 , i orderd GCMS note last month and found out every thing interview is required but no date is set yet , keep in mind every file is different

Thanks so much for your response. That makes sense, but just to get an idea, what are these notes for and how would I order them?

 

[Falmaata]

GCMS note is basically detail of ur file , i.e. when ur application received here in canada about the deception they already made ( sponsor approval ) and when is ur file transferred to which visa office document submitted , fees that u paid , what is missing , officers note some times they suggest if visa office need to do sponsored person an interview , you partner detail ( forms , background , criminality , medical, bla bla) , as of ordering the GCMS note u need consent form signed by ur Wife/ husband to apply for note on behalf of her cus to order a note u have to be in canada ( permanent or citizen ) , your status in canada for permanent resident PR id , for citizens CITIZENSHIP CERTIFICATE OR PASSPORT ( copies ) and fee of 5 dollars , u can apply online or send to office here in canada . frankly my recommendation is for u to order is too early ( all u receive is ur status and ur partners application is transferred ) don't wast ur time , but u can chack ur ecas any time that will tell u status of ur application as well . gd luck

Hey Falmaata its under family class and yes we had a wedding and i send them all the information and everything but i have no idea if they lost my document or not but i send them all the docu they needed im now waiting.

 

[Falmaata]

Koko i don't think they lost documents , remember this is immigration and citizenship, but i don't know some times depend on whats on your application ( answers ) , ur circumstance , ( length of ur relationship etc) make the officer to ask for more pic evidences , maybe order GCMS note and find out what the officers note on ur file . hope that will help a lot …..good luck

I have recently found out they do and there is no timeline . I have searched in forum if there was other applicant same situation as I but can't seem to find . I hope it will be better than Nairobi because it's forever .

You can order by CC. Follow this link:

The principal applicant will need to sign the consent form in order for the sponsor to apply for the notes on his/her behalf:

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/atip/form-imm5744.asp

Fill out the consent form with the applicant's info, print it and have him/her sign it and then scan it and upload it. Pay the fee and your done. If you have anymore questions just ask.

P.S Always choose electronic files.

Hey Curlysue,

I know it is frustrating and been a while now since any major changes. I applied January 2015. Can I ask you when did your ecas status change to application "in-process"? Does it show medical received? I'm assuming you submitted medicals upfront.
thanks

Hi alwy, I applied Nov 2014- ecas status changed to in process in June 2015. I did submit medicals upfront, but they did not show up for a long time. In June after in process, we got email requesting medicals form be forwarded again to Nairobi-and then ecas started showing medicals completed.
I wouldn't worry too much about the medicals-all we did was email the same form to Nairobi office with our file number after they asked.

Also, in update- we got passport request so perhaps there is hope!
