Anyone applying from the Caribbean?

Congrats on your LMIA ButterflyChemist. Did you apply for your work permit yet? and if so what visa office did you use?

Andreah my visa office is Kingston since I live in Jamaica. Literally just applied.
Work permit for me and open permit for spouse as well as TRV for our daughter

Fellow Caribbean applicants, I've noticed that my email notifications for my online applications come in at odd hours of the night, usually between midnight and 7 a.m. I find it very strange and was wondering if anyone else has experienced the same thing.

Any updates guys?

My friend went to University in Jamaica and has been trying for four months to get her Police Certificate of Character from them but they keep saying they need some tax number which she doesn't have because she never worked there and isn't a citizen, she came back home as soon as she finished her degree and just got her PER. She doesn't want her application to be refused since they haven't given it to her. Is there anyway around this?

I haven't heard anything from the high commission of Canada Trinidad and I am getting worried cause I don't think it should take this long I haven't even received a medical request from them. A work visa is supposed to take one month to process according to CIC average processing time dates, I am now going on 2 months and 2 weeks with no reply to any of the emails I nor my employer sent and you can't even call them to find out about your application smh.
How about anyone else?

Samnelson its good to come across another Jamaican. Did you apply for a work permit? Care to share what your experience was like at the visa office?

another jamaican here, planning to apply for trv this month but i also have an acceptance letter for college. Should i forego the trv and just do straight study permit?

That really depends on your plans. There are different requirements for each so only you can decide that.

You should post your question in the visitors section of the forum. In order to help we need to know the reasons given for the rejections.

Hi everyone!
I'm new here and so far a few of the posts have helped me a lot. However there are a few things I need assistance or clarifications, hope anyone can help

I'm a Canadian citizen and I'm sponsoring my common law boyfriend from Antigua. I have already been approved as a sponsor in June 21 2015, now we are just waiting on his papers which was sent June 24 2015 which was sent to Port of Spain - Trinidad.
Question
1. Does anyone know how long it will take or roughly? If your papers went to the same place, how long it took?
2. I'm disabled (use a wheelchair), so if my boyfriend was called in for an interview, would I have to attend?

Thanks for your attention
