@Peron, notes are the notes in your file. all the notes that immigration agents put there.but most of the time it's hard to read and understand them due to their codes that they use.but you can have an idea on what is happening on your file and how far it is arriving.they cost $5. and if your are the sponsor the applicant should give you his/her consent signed.it's not really complicated.just typpe notes here in serch you will get the link and use it.have your credit card ready to pay $5 fee.

The acronyms thread in the General Immigration category on this forum has a second tab that explains the codes.

Hello all!

I don't know if you remember, but I was a Nairobi applicant and was transferred to Dar es Salam once they opened the new VO there. I believe most of the overflow from Nairobi was transferred to Dar.

I woke up this morning to the most awaited email from CIC!!! They have requested for my passport and a prepaid courier coupon. Since I am already in Canada on a visitor status, I would be mailing out my passport from here.

Does anyone have any experience with what courier is preferred amongst the forum as well as sending it from Canada? Does this mean they will return it to me in Canada? Would I then have to leave the country and re-enter to "land"?

Thanks so much for all your help. It is always appreciated.

Congrats Zainy, I am really happy for you. I guess the likes of Awmf2014 et al, may be in a good position to advice. BTW, would you know when your ECAS turned to "in process"?

Hello,

So, you have to ask your VO which courier companies they prefer. This will be key in delivering and receiving your documents on time.
Nairobi sends a message with these preferred companies: DHL, UPS, TNT, FedEx.

I used FedEx because I know that the VO uses them quite frequently from my friend's experiences. However, I had problems with them when they were returning my documents.

Lastly, you have two options to land...
1) Leave and re-enter Canada by land at a border close to you or leave and re-enter Canada by air
2) Set up an appointment at a local Cic office. You would have to call Cic to set up an appointment. Appointment wait times vary from and can take up to 3 months to get an appointment.

For landing at the border, please view my previous posts on my landing experience.

I am not on the forum very often, but feel free to view my posts to get an idea of what I went through.

Congratulations and best of luck!

that's very good news . I hope we all hear the same news soon since we all have the same timeline. So your application was received by Nairobi then sent to Dar es salaam ? as far as the mailing goes. I wonder how are you able to get Dar es salaam mailing address ?

please share this process it will help others later times

I came to find out today that my application is no longer in dar es salaam visa office . it was sent to Abu Dhabi. I was waiting for PPR now its gone to different visa office. But at least there's something going on better than nothing. It was pleasure being in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam thread . Wishing you all speedy process so you can unite with your loved ones before year ends
