I am a June applicant, crashing this thread! 
I too am in a similar situation like you. My visa office is having unusual delay times and I am just so sad when I read about the other offices that take less time. For those that don't know what is going on at the Port of Spain office, here is the bulletin:
1. Applicants from French Guyana, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Saba, St. Eustatius, St. Maarten, and St. Martin
The Embassy of Canada in Port-au-Prince normally processes visitor and immigration application for nationals or residents from French Guyana, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Saba, St. Eustatius, St. Maarten, and St. Martin.
Until further notice, the Canadian High Commission in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, will process temporary resident visa applications from applicants from the above countries.
NOTICE
Members of the public are advised that the Visa Section of the High Commission of Canada in Port of Spain will be upgrading its database and processing systems this summer starting the week of June 28, 2010.
During this period, the Visa Section will remain open as usual, but processing times may be longer. For this reason, the High Commission would like to urge members of the public who want to travel to Canada during this period to submit their applications as early as possible. This applies also to individuals applying to work or study in Canada. Please visit our website at www.trinidadandtobago.gc.ca for instructions and application forms. Note that the Visa Section is closed to the public on Fridays, with no exception.
The High Commission of Canada in Port of Spain apologises for any inconvenience this may cause and assures the public that we are making every effort to minimise disruption to our services.
And normally this are the countries they process!
We are responsible for processing immigrant and visitor (including employment and student) applications made by residents of the following countries or territories: Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, British Virgin Islands, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, Montserrat, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Suriname and Trinidad and Tobago
So with summer in a run right now there are many many applicants, i took a drive by to the embassy and i saw like a hundred people waiting!
I am sooooooooooo disappointed! I hope some of the officers that were originally at Haiti moved to the Trinidad Office, but at the same time, I am wondering if these officers have a different mentality interms of giving hardship to those wishing to come to canada!
I ALSO WANT TO KNOW WHETHER ITS THE SAME VO THAT DO ALL THE IMMIGRATION VISAS OR IF THERE ARE SPECIFIC VO OFFICERS ASSIGNED TO JUST FAMILY SPONSORSHIP. SO FAR MANY PEOPLE ARE WAITING AND WAITING.
