Hey Girl, word on the street is right, Mr. P had to get his renewed too! He was able to go to an office in Mobay - they had told him they only send them on Wednesdays and they get them back on Friday's but can also arrange pickups on Saturdays in case they are late coming in Fri. I can't remember the cost but it's not terrible I think it's under $5000 JA but I've spent a lot lately so don't quote me. Mr. P said the office is on Church St. across from Sunshine Plaza (upstairs), the contact he had there was Mrs. Daily and her numbers are 876-286-0835, & 876-872-7233.

Hope this helps! His Passport was good until April 2015 as THOR said, but they needed it to be valid 1 month after your meds expire - which for us because of meds extension was Nov 2015. They said because he was for sure coming before Nov 2015 that it was up to us if we wanted to renew or not, but that there would be a charge for his renewal in April because the visa would need to be renewed too at that time. It was much easier to get another 10 year passport.

However, I don't know what happens when our Visa's actually expire -- do we just renew them every year? how does that work? anyone know?

If a have a TRV will it be cancelled as soon as i get the PRV?

just incase anyone have difficulties with fedex.. airpak express located by the fairview shopping center was very helpful with the prepaid envelope and you can also check your package online @ airpakexpress.com/....... only 900 to send each ways so $1800 total.

Based on what I've read and on what others have reported, that update should be a good thing.
If they had requested the passport and a decision made followed its submission, then there's a good chance that the PRV was issued. Just keep an eye on the tracking number to see when the package is delivered or made available for pick up. All the best.

Sounds good to me.
Either you or your brother should now keep an eye on the tracking details.
My guess is that it should be delivered sometime next week to the address or courier location that you specified. Cheers.

Hello Jamfam....

First of all congrats to everyone who has seen some movement on their files recently. There is so much going on here that it's hard to keep up!! Looking forward to the many landing stories over the next few weeks. Kingston is working hard!

And now... Here's my update:

Checked ECAS today and we are "IN PROCESS" !!!

Sooo sooooooo excited to see something other than "application received" for once. I was at work and logged in with my phone. I honestly thought I was hallucinating! I was so surprised.
