To everyone waiting, hang in there. The immigration journey is the toughest thing I have ever been through but with my husband here with me almost 6 months now, I can't believe how far away that agony of wondering when and waiting for word from Kingston seems. Soon it will be a distant memory...

This is awesome! We will for sure be in touch if we head up that way. Thanks for info :)

OMG you are lucky! Hubby goes nuts and comes home saying "$27 for a haircut and shave - what is this all about!!" I laugh. Do you guys have a Jamaican festival/Carnival of sorts in Montreal? I want to surprise him with some type of trip this summer to a place that actually has some type of...

hahaha - hi Mel! I was just checking in on things here wondering what was happening on the Kingston thread. How is hubby adjusting? Mine started work a month a go and that has made the world of difference. He is happy to be out of the house and earning a fair amount of cash (a lot more than...

Hi JamFam - hope everyone is hanging in there and people are continuing to get good news. Me and hubby just came back from JA and I happened to check this forum and noticed people asking about travel to thought I would chime in. My husband arrived in Canada on Dec 29th and we had a weird...

HI all - congrats to everyone who is receiving news! I hope for speedy processing now out of Kingston!! Jessie - include EVERYTHING you have. I included even the messages where we were fighting (because clearly that happens) to show our relationship was legit. I had the same problem with...

Hi all - big congrats to all of those who have received such good news, especially those waiting so long. For all those still waiting for PP to be returned - hang in there - it will be over soon. By way of update, I requested our notes to see what was written about our approval. Well let's...

YEAH to those hearing from POS and getting passports returned. Great to see so many are ending this process. basl - apply for the visitor's visa but if denied think of applying for a US visitor's visa as well. The US seems A LOT less strict on the visa front and you and he taking trips to the...

Mrs. Wright - he is happy to stay inside with the minus 28 degree weather - that is for sure! And he can get a new one, but it takes 6 months so we have to wait for his PR card to arrive in the meantime.

Hi Mrs. Wright - the COPR is the two sheets of paper your husband gives to the immigration officer upon landing in Canada. The immigration officer will fill out the details and keep the sheet with the photo attached. The other sheet goes to your husband and he is to protect that with his life...

Happy New Year everyone! Dec 30th has come and gone so perhaps a short landing story:) Hubby arrived on Dec 30th (at 1am) and life has been amazing ever since. He has fit right in to life although I have been on vacation so the real test will be this week. Even the smallest things are...

Ofia - you should harass your MP. Mine immediately found out what the decision was and communicated that to me within the hour (we got decision made before any word from Kingston too). The wait for you is completely inappropriate. You must be going crazy. My heart goes out to you. Good luck:)

Yeah MelJam!!! So happy for you and your family. Christmas must have been wonderful. Best wishes for 2015!!!

I am so sure everything will be perfect Mel! Just keep drinking booze. I put Jamaican rum cream in my coffee this morning (last work day before xmas tradition - not because I am an alcoholic!!) Hubby picked up his PP yesterday (Dec 22) and he flies on Dec 30th. We are having a NYE party at...

Mel - happy landing day to you and Hubby! I hope he has a great flight. Congrats to you both and Christmas will surely be wonderful. We have visa and COPR in hand and flight booked! Good luck to everyone else waiting for PP to be returned. As an FYI our COPR was issued on the day our...

Jojrob1 - just an FYI but I had my meat patty taken from me despite the fact it was cooked and declared. I was told - in very specific terms and in secondary inspection - that you cannot trasport meat even if cooked. The only exception is coming from the US - you can take meat back from the US.

I thought of that Mel but he is heading to Halifax via Toronto:) I am going to wait until PP is picked up. He is in Mobay so it could take a few days. But we are sticking with the plan to have him fly on Dec 30th. This gives him time to get everything in order. Your husband is so lucky he is...

YEAH! That's what ours says - Shipment picked up at KINGSTON - Jamaica 10:00. We can book a flight!!!!

AHHHHHH DHL shipment picked up!! This is crazy but I hope it means that passport is on the verge of being sent to Mobay!!! Status on DHL went from "shipment information received" to "shipment picked up - Kingston". Is this what yours did Mel?

hahaha Mel - it is AWESOME to write! I can't believe he is only taking one suitcase - that is impressive. I am probably to blame for the second suitcase - I told him last night I wanted the nice handmade Jamaican pot he has. It makes excellent rice and never seems to stick! MrsK I just got...
