Yes I received AOR medical and bio all within the same 24 hours. Then transferred about a month later.
***KINGSTON, JAMAICA **New Application**(as of Dec 7, 2016)***
- Thread starter rcspousalsponsorship
- Start date
Hi everyone, I just found this group, didn’t know there was one for visa offices.
Have you ever seen an application where criminality check was passed and then reopened to have "in process"?
I applied for BC PNP Express Entry on May 5, 2017.
I got my CBSA notes in June and it says our (my common-law spouse and I) criminality checks were passed on August 3, 2017, and then on October 23, 2018 it was reopened to "in progress" and security still not started. And my file was transferred to the Kingston VO
Usually when I call or email I get the generic "we are working on it and will reach out to you if we need anything else" but the last time I called they said my file is now in Jamaica so they can’t see it- so I emailed the kingston VO. I also had the MP called and they told him that Background check takes as long as it takes because it's done through a third party service. However, I recently got this reply from the Kington visa office-
‘This Provincial Nominee application was received at our office on December 05, 2018 and is presently with the processing officer for further review. Following the review, you will be advised directly of the decision or any next steps.
Please note that granting a specific time frame for finalization of the application cannot be given.’
Does this mean that they won’t be doing a security check or it’s somewhat completed but redacted from the report? Any suggestions?
Do you have any suggestions on why it could be taking more than 2 years?
Thanks for your time.

How can I access the spreadsheet? Just want to be able to look at times and add in mine. Hoping it’s not going to take much longer for us!
Hopefully you will get some positive news soon! I've been praying for movement on you Jan applicants so they can start moving on to us Febs lol!
That’s great!! We are Jan applicants too they called my husband today to re-take his pictures says they are too “zoomed in” I hope this doesn’t delay the process more. What is your timeline?
Thinking about traveling to Canada to visit friends and family. My understanding is is that once everything is submitted you receive a generic email confirming. How long do they take (jamaican time) to complete their process? Do you get an email indicating if visa is approved? And is this an easier visa to get as against USA visa? Thanx.
Is it well I'm applying for visitors visa. Would they email to let u know u got it and does one do an interview?
No interview for visitor visa I don’t think. But based on my experience you have to show strong ties to JA like property ownership, family, job, etc. plus a believable purpose for your trip and even then it’s still difficult. The process seems bias against certain countries for sure imo. When we did it it took about two weeks to process. Don’t let it discourage you though it doesn’t hurt to try
