The entire application (sponsorship and permanent residence and supporting documents) goes to CPC-M first. Once the sponsorship approval is completed, it is then sent to the local visa office which will process the application for permanent residence.

What exactly is covered by formal education? Do I start from basic or primary school? Should I include the years I studied for my ACCA (chartered accountant) exams? I attended classes during that time, but at a private educational institute, run by the lecturer, not a college or anything. Any...

Nae, I just had to make it funny, but at the time, I thought I was going to scream. At one point people were passing by and asking "A wha gwaan ova dey suh? Dem a gi wey summin mek alla dem ya people deh out yah fram mawnin?" Honestly, the way you get dealt with, it's like you are begging a...

Since the experience is still fresh in my mind, here's how the Jamaican police certificate works: 1. Go to the North Towers at Oxford Road, take a right when you get in the lobby. Ask one of the nice policemen at the desk for a form to get your police records (take your own pen, for heaven's...

Click on my ticker, it will take you to the website, and you should be able to design your own :) That's how I got mine.

No, no medical yet either. I see where they are good for a year, so I decided to wait until the very last minute, so to speak, before I did it. Basically, my timeline for those 3 things is very close. For the next 8 weeks, I am concentrating on the applications and the evidence, then between...

Yes, I'm going to do it again...I have to wait up to 12 weeks for the FBI clearance, so I am going to wait until close to the time when I should receive that one to do over the Jamaican one.

Oh...I went to Tickerfactory.com and it was there in the options for the ticker. I decided to count down to when my husband leaves to return to Canada, then start another one for my application timeline. :)

Morning everyone. Just wanted to comment on the previous post about the people being made to re-do their police certificates for a period earlier this year. It was all persons who received reports from around April to June, is what I was told when I went down to Duke Street. It was around the...

No, well, I've not got any numbers or anything because we have to get an FBI clearance certificate for me because I lived in the US for a year and a half after I turned 18, so we can't submit our application until I have that. So...waiting on the US, then waiting on Canada.. :P

Well, they denied my request in spite of a job I have to come back to, so I'd say that's definitely something they are going to look at, her not having sufficient ties remaining to the UK.

I would say get the letter anyways. An employment letter isn't just about having a job, it also shows what kind of earning potential you have. Just my thought, purely from a professional standpoint, I am a total newbie to this whole immigration business, and maybe more experienced persons will...

Well finally, hubby says he will go get the lab tests done! At least we will know where we are with something :P

Dang, chilly already! And he's going to be there alone. Bah humbug :( Don't give up hope, ladies, at least you are under way, application-wise!

All the best Sanchester. Don't dread or be excited about waiting, stay busy as best you can, that's all I can say.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I get the understanding that the FBI certificates expire after awhile?! Is this correct? OMG...I am in Jamaica and am required to submit FBI clearance because I lived in the US for 18 months. It takes an average of 11 months to process in Kgn, according to CIC, if...

Godbless - If I could haul him off to the doctor, he would! I check on him all the time while I'm at work, and like I said, that backup plan is fully in place so if he changes his mind at any minute, I can get him to the lab and have the tests done. And I talk to him about it every day, make...

Jamwifey: Yes, he has all the misconceptions of a "First World" citizen living in a "Third World" country. I too have asthma, although mine is mild, and last year when I was very ill, I was cared for very well at UHWI, the only problem being I had to wait 9 hours to see a doctor. I have...

Good question. My husband is living with me for now, but before we lived together he did not support me, because I did not want to take money from him while we were only dating/engaged. He returns to Canada next month, I guess we should talk about things like this! ::)

Nae - He has something similar to sickle cell anemia, so he needs a transfusion, and then iron chelation to remove excess iron from his body. Right now all we can do for him is make sure he rests and doesn't exert himself too much, because he refuses to let a doctor near him in Jamaica. I...
