Good morning JamFam!

Sammy if you don't mind it would be great if you could add the PC redo in our lines, so it would be more easier to compare when peoples will receive PPR...Hubby will send it on Monday Sept 1. All, please advise Sammy when you did redo the PC. I don't know what you think about it!? Thanks to keeping update this spreadsheet !

My husband is not to happy about out immigration consultant! Just so that I am clear, if you use immigration consultant does all correspondence go through them? Should we expect to any mail or email from Kingston? He is worried we don’t have a file # that we can use to check the status of the application.

hey guys

congrats to all who have rec'd PPR....just a F.Y.I
hubby rec'd approval letter that he should have gotten last yr but whatever!!! but I what I found interesting in this letter was
High Commission of Canada
Visa Section
P.O. Box 565
Port of Spains
Trinidad and Tobago
www.canadainternational.gc.ca/trinidad_and_tobago-trinite_et_tobago

So I started to freak a bit because im like he's not in Trinidad....So I called immigration Canada and they said that TNT is a much larger office and because Kingston is behind they are helping them out..so don't be alarm if you get a letter from TNT hope this means he will be process soon cuz mi caant tek this process anymore

My sister gave me the scoop from an Immigration officer she was caring for in the hospital. He told her that files are reviewed within 3 months from the time there are reviewed. Files are then triaged according to complexity and completing of application (whether things are missing etc...). The inconsistency of timelines is based on the immigration officer. Also Kingston is notorious for backlogs and it is not uncommon for immigration officers to be sent from Canada to go and help.

Wow really that may be some amazing news if KGN finally has some help to process their applications! Guess someone at CIC may be listening afterall! Let's hope it speeds up for us all. BUT isn't TNT wait time about 22 months anyways so how are they able to assist KGN?

Congrats ninirae!

I have been lurking around this forum since last year June. Long story short my husband was sent back to Jamaica due to over stay. We got married this January. I must say I was not confident in sending the application. I gathered all the information I needed and completed 99.9% of the application on my own. But like I said I was not confident. So I brought my application to an immigration consultant who was so impressed and did not really charge me that much compared to other immigration consultants (they were charging $3000+). I must say if it was not for the members of this forum I would not be able to get through the application.

The most difficult part of this process has been the scrutiny of family and friends. Being told that I am "stupid" for committing to this process or "u nuh seh him a gi u bun" or "you couldn't find anyone here to marry?"

This has me so depressed. I have not told people are work that I am married to avoid the questions and comments. I feel so alone and sometimes embarrassed. How do you ladies cope?


baby girl that is the typical respond from people hence why I have not told a soul other than my son I can tek the
badmindness so don't worry they're not saying nothing that has not been said before or will continue to say after...love will always be a gamble not matter where you find it]
