Greetings all

I am new to this forum, so i am sure my inquiries and answers are somewhere, amongst these thousands of threads...but here is mine:

I am legally married to my Jamaican Husband, who has never left the country. He was just refused a visitng Visa...and from what i am seeing is that it takes up to 18 months, before the whole process is complete. To me 1.5 years of wait, makes me sick. I go back every few months, when work pemits, or when i can extend long weekend. Otherwise, the seperation anxiety takes it's toll on a daily. :'(

Does it reallytake 1.5 years from Jamaica to sponsor your spouse??

After bein refused a Visiting Visa...can we reapply in the meantime??

What is the shortest legnth of time someone has seen a spouse come up on a PR from Jamaica??


Thank you all in advance for you responses.

And yes - plenty of people have made it to Canada from Jamaica.

Don't reapply for a temporary visa unless he can show much better proof than he had the first time that he will return to Jamaica once the visa expires. A spouse who has applied for a PR visa has almost no chance of getting a TRV.

Hi TARTAR,

Are you sponsoring your spouse from Jamaica? If you are, please visit us on this thread:

http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/kingstonjamaica-t29680.0.html

There is a spreadsheet for the thread and you can see the timelines for others that have sponsored their spouses from Jamaica. :D
