***KINGSTON, JAMAICA **New Application**(as of Dec 7, 2016)***

[Josh242]

When they send a sponsorship approval letter/email to the sponsor, it will say the file has been forwarded to the visa office in Kingston for further processing. They look at the sponsor first to make sure they meet the requirements. Once they are, the file is moved to Kingston to process the applicant.

Good day, I have a question in regard to this.
first my timeline is
August 1st 2024 submission
August 31st 2024 AOR
Silence.
Nationality and residence as PA is Bahamian
Sponsor is PR

Based on what I've seen, although I have also seen cases that may make such a thought be thrown out of the window I've notice in more instances that until your sponsor is approved to sponsor the application for the PA isn't touched much until that approval is made. what are your thoughts on this?

When I applied the estimated processing time was 23 months. My wife's application was completed 6 months to the day and that included waiting 4 months for them to just open the application. When they did Kingston only took 6 weeks to complete the processing. My wife's processing

Hi Flyingfast,

Did you do an Appendix A/B form when you were sending in the passports? What is that about? They haven't gotten the PPR email yet, but I think they are near the end. I saw the COPR details in the tracker yesterday and took a pic, although it has gone back to "not available".

I don't remember. Did you receive a Passport request? If so, that outlines what you need to do. Don't be too fixated with the trackers. In my wife's case, it lagged about 6 weeks behind what was happening. My wife's didn't update or show any COPR details until after she arrived in Canada.

Thanks. The tracker is updated up to Oct 29, so waiting on passport request. Everything is complete, but GC Key is still stuck in March.
