Hello lovelies,

Anyone know any hotels super close to the airport in POS? (or attached?) I'm not sure what the airport is like in POS.. so I wouldn't know. Just for a one night stay...

I know guest houses/etc are cheaper, but for one night, it doesn't seem worth the hassle.. so I'd rather just stay close to the airport even if it costs a little more (but not TOO much lol)

And before you ask (cuz I would ask if it were someone else! lol), no, I don't have interview or any exciting POS office news.. just booking some travel plans with hubby that requires us to stay one night in POS.

Thanks guys

Hey @brit have you mailed out your package yet? When my wife and I sent in our application package, POS's processing time was 15 months and here I am 11 months later since pos has our application and 14 months since we mailed it to CIC...ridiculously long

Hi Miss D. I will take a shot and say http://www.ihg.com/holidayinnexpress/hotels/us/en/trincity/poshi/hoteldetail. It is close to the airport (5-10 minutes) and very close to a large mall. They also have a free airport shuttle service; however, you need to make sure it is arranged ahead of time. I have been to several hotels and guest houses in Trinidad (although not on the inside of this one) and to be honest, most of them get mixed reviews, especially from North American travelers. So buyer beware in all cases. The POS airport is very small compared to Toronto/Pearson, it would fit inside one of our terminals. ;) Taxi's are pretty cheap and plentiful at the airport, but check whatever hotel you do decide upon as the shuttle service does not usually run 24/7. Have fun and hope that helps.

Hey how are ya? And nope I haven't...I just finished up my cover letter man...things so long pretty much my whole history with him...I seen my lawyer do the same thing 5 years ago for my p.r....I mean as zouk princesse said most times fraudsters won't put out that much effort n I mean it looks more serious and well organized cus the tiny box they give for ur responses I ur questionnaires is really not enough. I'm sending it off on thursday morning...tomr night is the final for everything and then wednesday I'm photocopying the documents for my file and making a final review then go see my pastor to pray n shil off that bad boy to immigration. ..lool they will be quite overwhelmed and say "dam this package is huge" lool...wish m luck @millslu n I know r getn through soon keep the faith!

When we sent in our application the posted time was 14 months. I think it went up to 15 by the time we got approved. Happy to hear your application's almost ready to go! It's a ton of work doing it right, but so very worth it. Once you send it in, you want to feel assured that you sent in the best possible package you could. Knowing that gives you that extra peace of mind during the wait, because you know there's nothing more/better you could've done. Summer is creeping to an end, hopefully things will speed up in the fall!

Hello everyone, i know its been a while, and we have some new comers too. I havent had a chance to read everything throughly, but i just wanted to share whats been going on with me.
The lawyer received our letter and they rejected our application!!!!!
I cant even eat. I lost breathe. Who the f**k are they to tell me that my marriage is not legit.
The stupidest reason ever. Basically they believe he has too many ties to Canada, because his family lives here and because of that they think he is using me. I am destroyed defeated and confused. It dosent make sense nothing makes sense right now
My lawyer wants to charge me $2000 to appeal and i know hes charging me that because he knows how desperate i am.
Like HOW can they say no to me, im married to him, i made a commitment to him, what do they expect from me to divorce him? like that makes no sense. i went to St vincent 4 times in the past year, twice for a month. My phone bills alone could have bought me another car. it has to be a mistake, something happened nothing makes sense.

All i say to you that are waiting, just be glad they didnt refuse you. cause to go through this now. i dont wish it on anyone. i feel defeated.
