Jessie : Yes I was nervous and was thinking everyday about maybe he will want to go back to JA. I put so much pressure on myself too to make him happy here. Was always worrying if he feel good here for real. Lol

Ally : In Quebec he doesn't need any letter from Jamaica. Only proof of residence + his current licence and he has 6 months to exchange it without taking courses. He has to do the written exam + the exam on the road. So I dont know you are in wich province but call the licence office to make sure how to proceed.
ohh ok...I live in Toronto, Ontario...do you by any chance have the link to the license office?

I live in Ontario & this is why my hubby needed. A letter from the tax office in Kingston stating what type of license he has, how long he has had it and I think the letter said if he had any convictions. In Ontario, if he can prove 4+ year experience in JA, he will be eligible to get his G right away....however, it isn't quite that simple. He will go in with a JA license that he has been able to drive on his own for 60 days with.....write the written test, if he passes, they will give him his G1. If they have an appointment that day to do his driving test, he can try for his full G. My hubby had to wait 2 weeks after getting his G1 to get an appointment for his driving test. When he left after writing the knowledge test, he had to have someone in the front seat with him, so make sure he doesn't go alone! They only get 1 try to pass the driving test. If they don't pass it, they have to go through the entire graduated license system.....G1 up! I would also strong suggest that you get a letter from his insurance company in JA saying how long he has had insurance and whether he has had any claims. PM me if you have any other questions about it!

I would like to say good luck to Leshatesha for the interview today !! Thinking of u guys and sending positive vybz !! ;)

GOOD LUCK!
Thanks MelJam!

My husband went in for interview. He arrived early and they started the interview right away.

To be honest I beleive they had made a decision before he went in for the interview. That's how he felt too. They asked for RPRF twice. She told my husband his application was complete. Just praying now!

Question 8 of the sponsored spouse questionnaire where it ask for if the principal applicant has family in Canada and to provide the details....my husband has other family in Canad but they are not close so we dnt have there contact info. If we put "no" does it has any heavy bearing on a decision because we cnt be bothered to call anyone for their info. It was be easier to just say no

I paid $1040 in total . $75.00 to for the sponsor $475.00 is for the applicant and the $550.00 is for the landing fee. You don't have to pay the $550.00 and wait for them to ask for it. If you can pay the full amount it will save some time later on.

Hi All,
Just looking for some guidance. My best friend will be getting married shortly with the intention of sponsoring her new husband who is currently living in Jamaica. The problem is that he has Epilepsy, which is being controlled by medication, but she is concerned that the Canadian immigration will reject his application based on his condition.

I was hoping someone may have encountered a similar situation and might have some insight into what procedures or information she would have to provide CI to process his application to a positive ending......or is she living a pipe dream thinking that CI will let her and her fiance ride off into the Canadian sunset...such as it is....

Looking forward to your comments!!!

Thanks so much!!

My suggestion would be to call CIC Ottawa to ask them what is considered "inadmissible" for medical reasons. You can find the Help Centre number online. Good luck to your friend and I hope that she will not encounter any problems with his medical conditions. Please keep us posted on what you find out as it may help others at a later date.

No there's not going to be a problem at all . Tell your friend to start the application. Epilepsy is not a concern for Inadmissible to Canada.
