YOu know after reading this again, I went back to my response from Kingston from November and this is what it said then: Dear Sir/Madam,



This is in response to your email below.

Your application is in process. No further action is required by you at this time . You will be contacted directly when your application has moved to the next stage of processing

We thank you for your patience and for keeping your correspondence to a minimum.

Regards

Immigration Section
Kingston, Jamaica



The one i got today was short and sweet: application in queue for review by an officer. Patience appreciated and we will contact if anything further required there was no dear sir/madam and no regards at the end.....but it totally makes sense now what you said........I am soooo afraid to hope that what you all say is true!
Chickie keep bothering them. I sent a email last Thursday about my husbands file and I got the request today. In the past when I email them they responded properly so bother them whenever you feel like it cause I think it gets them working on your stuff in case they forgot

Jam nice landing story and your husband is very handsome. Wishing you both eternal love as you build your marriage in Canada. I didn't know you lived in Saskatchewan. God Bless. And thank you for the advice to get the police certificate, cause my husband did it and that saves us the 7 days just like you said.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, and your welcome! lol

So glad I could help!

SO yes, for those of you that have expired police checks, my advice is to redo the police check and then wait for Kingston to contact you, you will save yourself that week!...

ANd thank you everyone for the compliments and well wishes!

Maddants we can only speculate because with all the inconsistencies it's really hard to tell.
