Substantive File Review for Skilled Workers
The first step in the processing of your immigration file is our substantive paper review of your application. The purpose of the substantive review is to determine whether:
you meet the basic requirements;
you have enough points to qualify as an independent;
you need to provide any additional documents to support your application;
an interview is required;
it is now time to do your medical examination(s).

Medical Processing Times
All immigrants and their dependents must pass a medical examination. As well, all visitors, students and temporary employees intending to be in Canada for longer than six months must pass a medical examination. Following completion of the medical examination the examining physician is responsible for sending the results to the Immigration Medical Services in Kenya. There, a Canadian medical officer reviews the examination results and then advises us of the results. This advice may be either positive, negative or an indication that the medical officer requires further information.
Normally, we receive results from the medical officer within 6 to 8 weeks of the information being sent to Kenya. You will only be contacted regarding medical results if there is a negative result or a need for further tests.
