Unfortunately to say, PRRAs are very rarely accepted. Unless you have a very strong case as to why he sister return at the end of his visa, it is highly likely that he will have to go back to Jamaica on an exclusion order. This is a 1 year ban from returning to Canada. Make sure that you do his Out of Country application immediately, if this is the case.

If you have already submitted his papers for in Canada and they have received them, then this is called implied residence. They will process the papers as normal, but you will receive an immigration interview when the process is almost done to prove your relationship is valid.

I hope this helps.

You can Private message me if you need anymore help.

I was told late yesterday, (after calling DHL for the 1 millionth time) that the passport was on the truck! Finally!!! and that once it was back at the depot they could provide me with a tracking number. So I called to today to get the number and they tell me it was never picked up!!! :mad: I said "I spoke with a lady in your office at 3pm to verify from an earlier conversation in the day that the request for pickup was done etc" and this lady was like "who told you that?! they could have never known that!"

I was SO MAD. I was infuriated and kept saying “You MUST UNDERSTAND my frustration right now, I have been calling every day for over a week when this package was supposed to be OVERNIGHTED TO US and it STILL HASN’T even been PICKED UP!?!?!?! I send couriers EVERY SINGLE DAY, I know how the system works and THIS IS WRONG! We have been waiting OVER a year to get this passport and you MUST understand how frustrating it is to be finally done of this process to start our lives and now we have this COMPLETELY UNECESSARY DELAY!”

I actually apologized to her because I know it wasn’t her personal mistake and I know what it’s like to be on the receiving end of a frustrated caller and there is nothing that you can do…she actually felt really bad for me and said she completely understood and was sorry for the way things were handled on the business side. She was super sweet.. Probably, because I was on the verge of tears the entire time. :-\

I was riding high last night thinking ok finally as least that parts been confirmed...I just want to breathe knowing that his visa's in his hand. A week might not seem like a long time, but it's excruciating being so close and yet so far.

Wow Mrs.P, I would have been so angry as well and I'm glad you quickly realized that it wasn't her personal mistake. It probably helped her get you a more accurate response.

So any other updates? When will it be picked up and delivered? December is almost upon us!!!

Update everyone.. my husband got an e-mail an hour ago saying he needs to send his passport to the Kingston office with a prepaid waybill for DHL or Tara. Does that mean they're going to put a visa in it? They didn't ask for anything else

FULL HEARING WON FEB 15/2017!!
Hey guys I got home Monday night from JA :( Its so hard walking away from him at the airport I hate it I feel so defeated with this process such bullshit!! I wanted to give u an update I filled out the appeal forms literally 10 mins after getting home from the airport and expressed mailed them back to them Tuesday morning ! And now we wait......I don't even know whats next in this part of the process and the refusal letter states nothing really, just this...

"It is my belief that you entered this marriage primarily to gain admission as a member of the Family Class. As a result, you do not meet the definition of a member of the family class."

This infuriates me to my core :mad: :'( No one seems to answer anything on the appeal thread either!
