Morning all!!

have a question: how long after receiving a Visa / PR status, does one have to make a move to Canada....surely there must be an expiration date?

For example: hubby gets visa, can he come up 6 months, or even a year later, as oppose to immediately?

Hi Anada. My husband stayed in Canada throughout the whole process and they never did a RCMP check on him. Maybe they don't do one for everyone.
i hear that. Everything can always vary from case to case.

Kingston QUIET today ;)


...as for my initial question: apparently, after being issued PR, one has to show proof of CAD address within 180 days...hmmm.

either way not too worried...if not by one way of means...then by another.

Anada, I thought you had to leave JA before the medicals expire? unless you can renew your medicals again after they expire and you have already recieved your visa and are still in JA??

The visa is issued up to the day the medicals expire, as Suki said. Your husband HAS to leave before that date or everything starts over again. Thats why some ppl leave right away, because it is about to expire. My husband had until Oct/26 to leave which in his case was 6 months mash after the visa was issued.

Any country a person stays in for MORE than 6 months, they DO a police check. So if he was here in Canada for more than 6 months they will do an rcmp check, which they do themselves.

Maybe my hubby slipped through cause he was here the whole 5 years it took for his file to get approved and they didn't do a RCMP check on him nor request one to be done. Or possible did one and we just never knew about it ;)

Hey guys. My husbands step mom (our step daughter lives with her and my husbands dad) got a call from Kingston yesterday saying that they need a hand written letter from my SD's mom with her signature and copy of passport attached, and it had to be notorized by JP. Whats confusing me is that we already send this in, it was a concent form my lawyer got off the website and my SD's mom signed and had it notorized. Why would they want another one? Maybe cause it was not written by her? Do you guys think that this means the process is almost over and she may soon get through? We have the mother working on the letter so we can get it to them asap.

Hello Everyone.. LONGTIME!!!!

I had peeped in from time to time to see the updates, and read the Ol' familars posts, many new faces and many new stories, it's been lovely to read up on everyone's immigrations adventures! LOL
So glad to seen Charlie is on her way home.. very exciting!! 30 days ntice, your too kind! Cant wait to hear about he landing story! It's been roughly 8 months since our family was united, and let me tell you its also an adventure. We have be very blessed as Hussy had a job basically the monday afetr he arrived amd he has realy enjoyed the work, he begins his appreticship in Welding in the fall, and is qute happy about the possiblities. I started a new job and the univeristy and have been crazy busy as well, my daughter is graduating from high school and also makes life rather hectic. We travel to northern Alberta quite regualrly to see family, he loves it in the country cabins fishing boasting, golfing, Ive discovered i married a real "redneck" obsessed with shows like duck dynasty, swamp people, hunting, farming, beer drinking, my brother in law, and few of my close cousins have really become quite close to him, and its great to see how well he has just blended in to the famjam! That is the biggest relief i think, knowing that the family has bonded with the new person in your life, we all know that deep inside, even if they said they were supportive, had worries, or questions, and i cant tell you how often now people come up to me and him and tell us how wonderful it is, and how relieved they are to finally see him and us together. Unlike many, he hadnt met ANY of my family aside from my daughter before he came, so you can imagine the worry. But we have put all that aside and have a huge cheerleading team, wanting us to succeed, and giving us best wishes! SO LOVELY!!! Summer is approuching and hussy loves the watching the dead come alive, it was a LONG winter in Edmonton, we were kinda luck only a few _40 days but still... LONG , my advice when your loved one arrives, stck up on VIT D, B complex, and a good multi, the seasons give us an ass kicking imagine what is happening to their body.. i give hussy 5000-6000 vit d drops a day.. YES seriously do it people, it makes a big differnece in energy mood and health. The biggest news is we are expecting, our Due date is October 23rd, we are sooooo excited, i have been sick as hell.. omg.. so friggen sick.. but seem to be feeling a bit better as of late, at least no puking and retching at every moment. the JOYS!!!
I just want to wish all of your the best in this journey, try to stay positive, my only advice is, that IT WILL BE HARD, there will be days, weeks where you wonder WHO IS THIS PERSON!! what have I done, there will be fights, down out wars, threats of moving back, heart ache, and worry, .. IT is NORMAL... this is no cake walk they are grieving their home, family friends, you are grieving your indeendence, its a huge transition, all you can do is trust the experience, and pray that all will work out. Stay motivated and do your best to communicate. marriage is a wonderful and HARD ! lol Take care.. good luck to all waiting, may your road be a few less Km than the person before you!

Hey everyone! Poking my head in for another quick look!

Hi Irving! :) Congratulations and jubilations on the expected new arrival! Man, we have so many of those this year, it's fantastic. So great to see couples flourish and grow together once this phase is over! It is one of the best parts of following this forum, seeing the couples that wait so patiently get on with their lives together!

Hubby just sent me a few pictures, he has added the crowning touch to all his work on the house in preparation for my arrival: a 21-foot flagpole in the yard, with the Canadian and Jamaican flags flying proud and high together. :D I told him that's great, because now I will know which yard is mine, no matter what I cannot get lost, haha!

I am hanging out on the beach for a couple hours, then back home! I will check in again soon, hopefully before the landing story, if not, well, see you all then! ;)
