Hello and welcome to Morlon, who stopped in from over at the POS thread. :)

Basha, Mrslwsn and suki's hubbies had their passport's back within a week of getting Decision Made updates (also using DHL), so it might be cutting it a bit close to book hubby a ticket for next Friday to be in time for the shower, but it is possible!

Have a great evening, everyone!

BBBB and Amanda, don't forget those landing stories!

LOL, suki! Most of them won't be coming with me, actually. I am giving them to a friend who is as big on reading as I am. I am bringing the ones I won't be parted from, such as my Lord of the Rings collection, as well as some textbooks I keep for reference purposes.

quick question guys... I haven't been able to find a solid answer.

anyone have a clue about converting out of country drivers license? For Ontario, it says if you're claiming more than 12 months of driving experience, they require a letter from an authority in Jamaica - high commission, transport authority etc. - that will show how long you've been driving.

How did y'all go about it? Thanks for the feedback :)

:)Basha Just have Hubby ready to leave. By Friday if U can.

Watch the DHL tracker, I'm sure even if he gets it by Thursday u can still get him a ticket to leave by Friday or early Saturday. I have faith he will get it back this week.

Cause I'm pushing my hubby to be ready to leave Friday Too. Cause I want him here for the long weekend. Hubby is picking his up on Tuesday.

Oh Shoot BAD MANNERS thank you Forum Family for all your help N Congrats.

I wouldn't be able to get through this process. If anyone is located in Brampton let me know we can link up for a drink.

Have A happy Saturday.

Good morning Family,

Kym you are so right. I am itching to buy his ticket. Yes I am checking the DHL tracker. I am so anxious, nervous and excited all at the same time.

Have a wonderful day!!!

Yes I want to know about the driving record as well should I tell hubby to bring up a letter as well to make it easier to get his License as well?

In regards to the driving/licence. My husband is driving on his Jamaican license which is valid here for 60 days. We went to the consulate here in Toronto, paid 30 dollars and in 7 days they called him to come pick up his driving record which is valid for 6 months. The driving record can then be used to jump right to rd test (provided the person has 3 + yr driving experience) so basically the consulate letter is used to jump the graduated licensing system. I think this has to be done thru the consulate here, because we have a police link and he said we would need to contact the tax office, and my husband has a good friend in the mobay tax office, and she was not able to get the letter either.

My husband got his drivers abstract at the Traffic authority on maxfield... Same week turnaround... One of the few things in Jamaica that was, at the time, free and relatively uncomplicated

Thanks foR the reply about the driving record. Hubby lives in Hanover so it would be difficult for him to go all the to Kingston for the driving record so I might take Mrslwsn route. Considering his time is limited in Jamaica.

Thanks
