I ran into this problem in Sav too.Nevaeha said:Hi Jam Fam!!!!
My hubby went to Kingston today at 4:30am to drop off his passport and itinerary. Although the woman he spoke to on Friday didn't tell him he needed to bring a pre-paid return envelope we wanted to make sure we dotted all of our i's and crossed all of our t's. Hubby went to DHL in SAV on Saturday only to find out that that location does not have those envelopes. He was going to go to MoBay but we decided against it and hoped/prayed that KG would tell him to come pick up his passport.
Hubby arrived in KG early and went to the High Commission and spoke to the guard. The guard was very rude and Mr. Nev said he looked right through him. The guard told him there was absolutely no drop offs on Mondays and to come back tomorrow. Mr. Nev stood his ground and said he was told to drop off his documents today. After a lengthy discussion the guard told him to come back at 1:30pm. When hubby called I could hear the discouragement in his voice. I calmly told him not to waste another second thinking about how the guard treated him. He had four hours to kill so I told him to get something to eat and to find out where the nearest DHL location was incase an envelope was requested. We talked a couple of more times and I could tell hubby was starting to feel better.
From 1:30pm to 2pm I was on pins and needles because we had no idea if he was just supposed to drop off his documents or if he had to go into the High Commission. When my phone rang and I picked it up I could feel hubby's smile across the miles.
When he went back there was a different guard and when my hubby told him what happened earlier, the guard apologized and said the guy was new and there was a mix up. He told my hubby to go inside and drop off his passport and itinerary. Mr. Nev was pretty impressed with the High Commission. He said they scanned him, took his phone, and iPod. He said a very nice white lady helped him. She had short dark hair and a nice face with some years on it! lol! He handed her his passport and itinerary and asked if there was anything else she needed. I told him to take EVERYTHING with him incase he was asked for it - original marriage certificate, original birth certificate, Schedule A, address change, etc. She told him that was all that she needed except his DHL envelope. Hubby told her he was not asked to bring an envelope and then she told him the visa officer would call him when it is time to pick up his passport/visa.
Mr. Nev is currently floating home on cloud 9!!!
So that's where things are at as of today!
funny thing when the embassy called they told my husband he could drop it off tuesday wednesday or thursday in between 1-230
Maybe you could start one for all us Jam Fam post-immigration where you can talk about the transition into the "new normal" and share how hubby/or/wifey are adjusting to our culture here, to families and friends, seeing the snow, slipping on the ice ;D that kind of stuff!!Nevaeha said:

my landing story isn't very exciting. In all the times I have travelled to canada for me this trip was pretty fast, got off the plane about 7:20... Customs was empty so I walked up, told the officer I was landing he said welcome to canada and directed me to another room where I just walked up to another officer, she signed and stamped my papers and had me sign, told me welcome... She was very nice... Told me my pr card will come in 6-8 weeks. Went to another room, got booklets and magazines, Ohip form and sin info. Got my bags, passed another officer , he asked if I had shipped stuff, I said no, he said welcome and I may go. Boyfriend met me at airport as mom had previous engagement. 
Well it is still a landing story and we thrive on those! We get to live it through someone elses eyes and hears and words! Thanks so much and welcome to Canada!sheriB said:
That's all, sorry there wasn't much to tell. It was all pretty fast, one of the fastest I have ever came through Pearsons.
