Yea! Im going to get them done very soon! Just gotta get a day off work so I can take him, now, is a good a time as any!

hey Jiggy, yea, I think we are going to do it very soon. The background and security check is seperate... and those docs were submitted with App. But its my understanding that a medical expires after 6 mths... then you have to pay and get it done all over again. I thought it was good...

Did you submit the kids medicals already? I was advised by many not to bother because they would expire before they were requested. :/ Yikkkesss...... I hope I haven't added more time on to "the wait". Even with my husband we are waiting til they are requested because we have a friend...

Rusty, you're the best!! This process would seem so much more lengthy and frustrating without your updates and positive vibe! Just wanna let you know how much you are appreciated! :)

Im in the same boat. My husband is here - his son still back home. I had a friend a few years ago that was in the same situation, he got his AIP and work permit while they were still processing his childrens stuff. Im hoping for the same. My husband needs to get out and work! He...

Oh! Great! Now I don't feel so worried! I was always worrying that perhaps I made a mistake in the paperwork, or forgot a form... or something. But as long as Im not the one person who has had the same "status" then I feel a little more at ease! Thanks! :)

Yikkkessss!

Its silly! My husband had a medical done before he got here and had a work permit (he was on a farm program fro 11 years) anyway......... there has been no change so they should (imo) just extend the existing work permit - but they don't. And cant use the same medical (that was still...

Lawda Mercy! Im gona have to call them on Monday and be a pain in the butt ! When I log in to ECAS it says "in process" for me, and for his it still says "application received" as if there is no movement on his part. I dunno....... just seems weird to me. Im gona double check and...

WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOO!! Congrats!! That's a nice way to start the weekend!!

Well that's encouraging news for sure! But if they don't hurry up and and at least grant an OWP there wont be a snowballs chance in hell of affording a Christmas Vacation to Jamaica any time soon! lol When you log in to ECAS - does it just say "in process" and nothing else - or...

Its nice to log in and see so many people getting good news !! Congrats to all ! Im getting kind of OCD at checking email, anxiously awaiting any kind of communication from them!

Ok Thanks! I was just concerned because I know of people who recieved an email first saying the sponsor was elligible.. before they were dealing with the person being sponsored. I will just be patient! lol

So....... AIP (of the person being sponsored) and approval of the person doing the Sponsoring (me) are the same thing? I always thought it was 2 different steps.

yes, it was received Nov 30 ..... we got the email confirmation and on ECAS it shows as in process - but I have never gotten an email to confirm that I was deemed approved to sponsor

Im wondering why I have never gotten an email indicating that I was approved to sponsor .........(I don't think there should be any issues, but I just don't understand why I haven't gotten an email) Has everyone else got that email in the past?? I submitted our stuff in Nov, it began...

Good for you! The OWP is the biggest deal (imo) at least you can work and feel like a normal, contributing person while waiting for the rest. Congrats!

I would not even chance it ! The penalty for working without papers is severe!! Plus that would open the door for a whole lot of people who work under the table and claim it is just "apprentice work" . I would call them, but my guess is NO.

Good Morning everyone Just wondering......... my hubby and I put in his app in late Nov - it began process Jan 17. We did not submit medical at the time of app because I have heard of tooooo many instances where it was either lost in the shuffle or expired during the processing time, so...

Welcome. My husband is also from Jamaica (but here in Canada) and his son is still in Jamaica (we have included him in our application as well) Your time line is about 1 month a head of mine, so I will be anxiously waiting with you!
