To everyone waiting, hang in there. The immigration journey is the toughest thing I have ever been through but with my husband here with me almost 6 months now, I can't believe how far away that agony of wondering when and waiting for word from Kingston seems. Soon it will be a distant memory for everyone.

Others have written about the landing experience and I echo everything they say. But for the newbies, I can tell you the first 6 months is not all roses. For us, we had a lot to deal with because of a lost COPR (which prevented him from working for the first three months of his arrival) and a tragic death in his family that forced us to make an emergency trip to Jamaica. What this showed me though is that homesickness is a true illness and can be quite debilitating for your family. I see such a difference in my husband now that he has a job and his own friends and his own sense of being. It was awesome to come home Sunday to a backyard full of guys building a new deck for our house! It has also made the world of difference that he takes Sunday to call his family back home. He talks for hours sometimes - which is not great for our phone bill but fabulous for his well-being and our marriage. Don't try and make him Canadian but try and incorporate Canada into his life while still keeping Jamaica in his heart. I have become an excellent jerk chicken maker and even cooked some killer festival the other night so the small things do matter to show that you aren't trying to change the person that he was. Although some of the Jamaican habits are hella annoying!

It will be fabulous and it has been for us but be prepared for the bumps. And the fights. Jamaicans can fight and we have had some killer ones - mostly over home renovations and money. Be prepared to compromise, hold your tongue and love your significant other no matter what. And then at the 5-6 month mark it should be all settled down and you will realize how amazing your life is and how worth it the immigration journey (and fights) has been. At least that is my hope ;D

Good luck everyone!

Take your time girl!! Come back when you have time ! I tell you, the feeling when you wake up in Canada beside your hubby is just indescribable !! After almost 6 months I still cant believe it sometimes ! LOL Waking up during the night, grabbing his dreads and thanking god again and again to have made this happened.

To all the others whos waiting, I telling you keep the faith, stay positive, it worth it, its only a few hard months during all your life..

Thanks for the words of encouragement ladies! It's great to hear feedback from people who are done with this process now, and it gives me hope that one day this struggle will be well worth it xox

 

[shortyp2000]

I second that. Thanks Ladies. Its so hard to even think this process will ever be over. It feels like its never going to happen!

good morning everyone, i'm going to get straight to the point.

I receive email to redo medical may 19 and they receive the result June 11.
I receive the passport request June 17

I need some help please am ready to go send the package am in ocho dhl or fedex say the don't provide pre-paid airway bill to return the package anymore, i call dhl and they told me that once immigration is ready to send the package I should inform them they will make arrangements to pick up and once it arrives here then I make the payment, but immigration will be expecting the return airway bill in the package no?

how do I get this thing off?

 

[Roxie-B]

Hi everyone,

Question 1.- Since the asked for my police record redo, the RPRF, and extended my medical......do you think I should still be looking out for an interview? its been a while now still haven't heard anything from Kingston yet.

Question 2.- If I go to Canada now do I have to tell them I am there or can I just send my passport over to Kingston once they request it?

Hello everyone

So I have been a permanent resident for a year and I am ready to sponsor my mother, my sister who is 23 and her 2 year old. I read that if we can prove my sister is unable to support herself she can be sponsored with my mom. My sister is sort of special but not very obvious.

My question is there anyone currently sponsoring a parent/grandparent/grandchild?
