hey all... been lurking and rooting for you all, glad to see new faces come and even gladder when the older ones go :) anyways, just a comment on the interview... since you'll be there, go with your husband to the embassy... you will allowed to accompany him into the waiting room at a minimum...

it's 212 days (i think) in a calendar year that you need to come in under to keep health benefits.. (i've had them cut off before when i lived out of country, not fun!) we were there for just under 7 months and no issues... i had no issues with CTC (the little i get), we just had to fill out...

i was one of the lucky ones who spent my wait with my husband on the island... we actually stayed a few months after we got the visa so the kids could finish up their school term :) i wouldn't have done it any other way :)

My husband got his drivers abstract at the Traffic authority on maxfield... Same week turnaround... One of the few things in Jamaica that was, at the time, free and relatively uncomplicated

Re: HELP!! where did you get this list from? please double check your info and sure you are following canadian procedures, not US! they are not the same

ahh Suki might be on to something too... you must use a doctor from this list http://www.cic.gc.ca/dmp-md/medicalinfo.aspx?CountryID=2056&CountryName=Jamaica

:) i did that? shucks... lol

hey all, thanks for the welcomes back :) i agree its great to see a few familiar faces coming out of the woodwork :) things are going well... my "babe" is a running, climbing, "i'm shexxhy an i know it" singing, throwing, name calling little terrorist! just when i possibly think he can't...

We're all giving congrats on the Jamaica boards, but I know Charlie's helped many all over the world, I've seen her share her knowledge and her wisdom, her congrats and tears with your successes and drawbacks... She's become a wealth of knowledge and always reached out to those who needed...

No, common law is for people living together... Child or not if you are not cohabitating (and for a minimum of 12 consequtive months), you are not in a common law situation... You may have a case for conjugal, but its a fairly big hurdle to overcome if you have no barrier to marriage (being...

maybe if you can do a "weddingmoon"... combining a wedding and honeymoon in a tropical destination does provide a bit more of a "special" appearance in a ceremony... many all inclusive resorts have fantastic specials on around now and in January and many have very low cost or free weddings if...
