Noted, they requested his Birth Certificate. This was not required when I was applying online but I should have added it to the Optional Document section, really wasn't thinking about it.
Is Trinidad and Tobago processed in Jamaica?

Hi shersher87, I was to ask you. According to CIC's website, you do not need a medical exam from Jamaica. Were you required to do one? Just wanna be certain.
