Welcome to Canada! Your posts is quite accurate!

Hi guys, is POS on summer vacation? Any updates? I know some of you will be landing soon, good luck!

Congratulations on your landing SheFer!

Hi! Prepare a list of all electronic items and the qty. And also a list of all funds being accompanied - that is cash, cheques and drafts. Although note drafts are not counted even though over the limit. If your funds are over the limit declare it; no biggie as they expect you to be over the...

Hi Essjayja, there is another Jamaican person on the thread by the name of Jamaicangirl88; she may be able to help. Try messaging her; unsure if she is active.

Hi Cindy, this has certainly been a challenge. However, I was able to do a letter to my bank explaining my move etc and when the funds became available they called; I had to go within the same day to collect via a bank draft. The process took a few months. I may have been lucky as this approach...

Congratulations!!! And good luck with landing, the weather is looking up now so you should have a good trip (providing you will be in Ontario). Regarding your job search before moving, that is going to be a super tough one (unless you are part of the 1%). You would have better luck moving...

"and for keeping your correspondence to a minimum" Wow - they're probably inundated! Keep the faith, good luck. Use this time to prep and research. The best thing you can do now is formulate all the information you would need for when you get to Canada and re-read. You will have no time to do...

Happy New Year guys. The best wishes for 2018 and speedy PPRs!!!

Hey Adi. Happy Holidays! Sounds good but just bear in mind that the Embassy would only have details about your current passport on file. I have seen different/renewed passports be an issue after receiving PPR in other VOs. Just research it thoroughly to avoid unnecessary delay.

Congratulations! What a great feeling. Below is the answer to your question and is an extraction from my PPR letter: 'Your passports must be valid at least one month beyond the date of your medical exam' This means you can submit your passport for stamping although you have 6 months left...

I do not recall POS VO going on a break last year. They observe the usual public holidays around that time - Christmas, Boxing Day and New Years. But bear in mind the entire of T&T is on a go slow during the holiday period.

Welcome and congratulations all at once! This was super quick. I assume would not know the LVO... but if it is POS; they are working just fine!

Welcome Adinsingh and Kaimeka! @ Adinsingh... you're welcome; glad to be of help and share experiences.

Lots of recent PPRs. Congratulations guys!!! POS VO is working. I landed in Toronto this week. The process was quite smooth. Here is a summary of my landing experience: Deplaned and walked a bit to Immigration where everything was done (and photo taken) via a self-service machine (indicated I...

Congratulations guys! I have noticed the beginning/end of months are generally good for PPRs!

Hi SherFer, I would say IP2 most likely means it is at the local VO but there are instances where it did not. Also, I have seen lots of instances at POS VO where background changes were not updated and PPR was given. Based on your timeline and the 6 month rule of thumb I would suggest you ask...

Hi Avie0705, entering Canada on a visitor's visa does not affect your PCC unless you stay for a prolonged period which based on your dates you did not do. Also, the PCC is supposed to cover where you have lived (various addresses if applicable). Based on your explanation you did the correct...

Really happy to help out. Knowing the experiences of others make a big difference!

Welcome toCAfromJA, sounds as though you are on the right track. Good luck :)
