Just to clarify, I had no record of what number I called with the phone cards only that I called the phone card number approximately twice daily but I did try to show that the phone cards were only used once I had met my spouse. I also included skype logs, emails and facebook messages. I think...

Hi Guys, I have the encouragement that you are looking for! I sponsored my Kenyan husband and processed through Nairobi. Our case is pretty simple. We met in person in Africa, we got engaged 9 months after meeting, got married 1 year after meeting. We are roughly the same age and education...

Hi, I just wanted to let you know that I used phone cards to communicate with my husband and I sent them in with our proof of relationship. It must have worked for us since we were approved in 6 months when the website says 32 months for Nairobi where we processed through. The only good thing...

I just want to encourage you who are still waiting. My husband is processing through Nairobi which appears to be the visa office with the longest waiting time and he will be landing in 3 weeks!!! We got our PPR on August 18th submitted on September 14th and picked up the passport on Sept 27...

I got a commissioner of oaths in Canada. My mother is actually a commissioner of oaths so she just signed it for me.

CanadaGirl, I got married at a resort in Kenya and I didn't need anything except my passport birth certificate and an affidavit signed by a commissioner of oaths stating I have never been married before. It was actually very easy. We got married in Jan. Feel free to private message me if you...

Hi CanadaGirl I am currently waiting on sponsorship for my Kenyan husband. My advice to you would be to do the application while you and your husband are together in person because that way you don't have to wait 2+ weeks for the very slow postal system, that is assuming that you two are living...

I met my husband in Kenya in Dec. 2009. I went with a small Canadian NGO to do a water filtration project. He was a student at the University of Nairobi at the time and came to help with the project along with a few other students. We worked together from dawn to dusk everyday and it didn't take...

This is a great thread to support other people applying through the Nairobi office. My husband and I just submitted our application at the beginning of March so we haven't heard anything yet but I appreciate hearing the stories of others going through the same torture as us. We got married in...

Hi, I am a Canadian citizen working a professional job in Canada. My boyfriend is Kenyan. We applied for him to visit twice and were rejected both times (he is presently unemployed in Kenya as he just finished university in July). We really want to spend time together in the same country. I am...

Congrats on getting the visa approved!! What office did you go through if you don't mind me asking? As for the couple from the US. She can apply for PR through spousal sponsorship. It is probably advisable to apply outland (through US) because it will probably be faster than Canada. Because she...

I would think that the letter from the university would really help your case but ultimately it is up to who you get processing your application.

Here is the link to the Undertaking of support PDF that was found from the Government of Canada's Kenya site. This is what we are using. It won't let me post the link but put "www" in front of the following and you'll have the document...

There is a document called "Undertaking of Support" that is what your friend should fill out.

If you can show that you will need to return to your home country to finish you thesis you might have a better shot. It is best to try before you finish your schooling I think. My boyfriend is just finishing his studies and has been rejected because he doesn't have significant ties to his home...

Well, Unfortunately as predicted the TRV didn't get approved. We are going to try again with shorter time frames and having my parents invite (and pay) for his trip. We are going to stress that we would love to show him Canada after we have been treated so well in Africa. Not sure if this will...

Thank you all for your discussion it has been helpful to me. My boyfriend would also like to come and visit me in Canada. Unfortunately, we have been denied a TRV once already. In the first application we applied for a multiple entry visa which was probably a mistake but we were hoping it would...

John, I can understand your question and I don't think it is sneaky as long as you actually plan to study. My fiancee and I are in a similar situation. We would like to get married in Canada and we would like to start our PR application from within Canada (because the Nairobi office has 2+ year...

Thank you so much for your responses. Just one more question. If my fiancee only gets a 6 month TRV visa initially do you think an extention would be possible in order for our "in Canada" sponsorship application to go through? Is that a legitamite reason for extention? I noticed the Nairobi...

Hello, I have a few questions about what is the best order to do things. I am Canadian and my boyfriend/fiancee is Kenyan. We met while I was in Kenya. We have made the decision to get married and we have 2 choices, marry in Canada or marry in Kenya. He is planning to come for a visit (TRV) in...
