Congrats Dadzin! I would say that is PPR!

Has the price of Medical gone up? I know you are doing for your wife and one child but I don't recall it being that much.

They're saying the price went up. Another place wants 1500 per person! My daughter can barely talk! But they want 1500 to open her mouth and check and feel her stomach etc.

I read somewhere on CIC that they now give medical extension. Why would they ask you yo redo yours? Someone correct me if I'm mistaken.

Wow that's crazy. Immigration is a money making business it seems.
When we did our medical there were only 2 physicians doing them. One female and one male. Is that still the case?

You are correct that medicals can be extended BUT the medicals can only be extended up until the 15 month mark after initial completion and ONLY if it is the last thing holding up an application for final approval.
In dadzin's case his medicals are well outside the 15 month time frame for extension and that is why he has been asked to re- do them.

Hi FAD!
You must be so excited and he must be as well. Have you travelled with baby before? Will you stay there until he is ready to come back? I wish I would have travelled to Trinidad and came back with my husband but our daughter was sick and it just didn't work out. Oh well...
He is adjusting well to the cold. I think he forgot just how cold it gets here. Where we are living now seems much colder than Toronto. He has lots of winter clothes so he really doesn't mind it too much. Have you bought clothes for hubby yet? I'm sure you remind him how cold it will be here.
Hubby continues to look for employment. I think he feels discouraged at times. Kingston is so different than Toronto. It's easy to find work in Toronto, in comparison. I always remind him, we've been faced with bigger challenges and everything will work out but as a man he wants to help provide for our family.
Have a good evening everyone!
I am excited as heck but I think he is more excited than me because this time he don't have to worry about taking me back to the airport and returning home alone!! Yes my daughter has been on 2 international flights and 2 to the USA so she is a 'seasoned' traveler lol.

I pray that your hubby gets a job asap. It must be hard knowing for him that he isn't are not contributing to the household as a man but he will be fine. The temp agencies are a great resource for finding temp to perm jobs.

Hey mama :)

Thanks! I hope youre right :)

Actually!!! No dominica for me or hubby. I signed up last minute to do an international medical school elective in the UK. I am close to graduation so I have some flexibility to do some cool stuff. Mostly though I did it cuz hubby doesnt need a visa. So right after the interview we flew to London. Got here this am. Immigration officer started to question hubby about his stay and I had flashbacks of yesterday and I laid down the law with him. I said, listen, he is here with me til he comes back to Canada with me. Neither of us needs a visa. Heres our info. Problem? I think not. Or something similar hehe

So we are jet-lagged but together for a couple months :)
MissD this is a wonderful experience and I'm so glad you guys found an option to have this time together to finish out the wait. Good on you, girl!

Congrats Dadzin, as others have said, this is the PPR......if you are in Trini though, you can actually drop passports off and pick-up in person when visa is ready (I believe between the hours of 9:00 and 12:00). At least this will avoid a courier expense.

Re-doing the meds is so annoying considering it was their problem!! I thought that your kiddos were both born in Canada.....do they still have to re-do? Also I recall reading somewhere that if a 2nd medical is done it is not the full monty, like the first......I could be wrong but call the DMP in Trini and ask. The one we used was Dr. Ross Millar and his staff are usually pretty good at being up to date on all of the immigration stuff. And ask for a family discount!! :D......can't hurt right? So happy for your family.
