Patty shop indeed Sheraig.

Nae I was SHOCKED when i saw that, mi couldnt believe it, its as if they take this thing for a joke! I am sure a person retirin will give due notice so that a replacement can be made to ensure people dont sit on they asses waiting for nearly two years for what takes 4 months in other countries... i bet the files still there gathering dust. I am so angered!

Are you telling me that after i have paid the RPRF and sent in my redos and originals i still cannot get a call requesting my passport? his is ludicrous!  sad to say i am not expecting anything soon cause with my expectations only disappointment follows

[jamwifey26]

They got the questions...they just summarized them and posted it as one....

It seems to me that he is of the mind to focus mostly on economic migration than family class.

Hi gang, sorry didn't get your post in time, thanks Jammy for sharing. It seemed to be politically driven with the oppostion questioning Kenny about refugees and ethnic groups.  The discussion re: family class was to compare re-unification of families to highly skilled workers that will come to Canada and pay taxes. Like our spouses won't become active, hard working tax payers. Concerns about immigratnts getting entry level jobs that do not pay well. They need to consider that as sponsors we also work and help support the family and in many cases the double income meets or exceeds the avg for Canadians. Would it be better for us to take our tax $'s to a different country that will allow us to be with our spouses.
Sorry for the tirade, they just piss me off

Canuck, see that is something I don't understand!  We are not talking about people here going on welfare, and not to toot my own horn or anything, but the qualifications I hold would ensure a damned good living for me and my husband when combined with his income, plus a nice chunk of change for the tax authorities!  How can they make it so hard for us, and yet there are people walking into the country and going on welfare immediately with no hassle???  Many spouses ARE highly-skilled workers, they are not coming over there to sit down.  Geez, to quote my husband.  /rant

Hi all newbie here. Came upon this forum about 3 days ago while doing my research for permanent residency. Good to see a forum for us Jamaicans 

[jamwifey26]

Welcome Mylilangel and JamaicaninCanada

There is not a better place on the web to get info and support if you are going through the KG office. And believe me you will need the support.

Jamaicanincanada: Lord your name long...lol so I will call you JAMCAN. What is your timeline like? Have you filed yet?

Mylilangel: Did you receive the AOR from Kingston or Canada?

Hope your process is fast and painless.

hey all...

sherig that audit was just sad... it seems the only thing kgn is doing quickly is the temporary work permits.. and from what i've heard there's plenty of greasing of the palms there, so we know what talks in kgn (if we didn't already)... it's pretty obvious that incompetence has reigned a little too long there... hopefully they are going to have some accountability SOON!


interesting chat with the minister... it seems that at the federal level they are too busy defending immigration to actually do anything about it.. and yes, economic-ly sound immigration would likely be the best way to do it so there we are back to letting families suffer...  (although the point about the temp workers being processed so quickly while skilled are dragged thru hell and back is a great one... they aren't even getting their own ducks in order... ah well... )

so my son turned one last week... little big man is all into everything, climbing stairs, into cupboards, dishwashers, (not walking yet tho)... so much trouble all bundled up into one adorable package... and i'm in my 3rd week back at work... starting to get back into the swing of things... they paid out a bonus while i was gone, so i get it next week on my pay... wheeeeeeeeeeee! most of it will go to visa i'm sure, but maybe i'll sneak something for myself... trying to decide who will get that bit.. coach, or sony... or ?? lol... money just can't stay in my hands for long... luckily i have a good financial advisor and good investments or i'd be screwed!


mylilangel... not sure who is left with a ARC... confusedandscared is one, but he's going thru POS, not KGN, he just likes to come over and hang out with us ...  missing who posted right before me is one too, you  can see she's been drawn out for 2 years now... sassy was one too...  i think her timeline was 16ish months... homesoon had one too...went pretty quick, 9m i think... so it really is all over the place... if you read back you'll see a spreadsheet with our timelines and a few notes on it... also check into trackitt on which just about everyone here has shared a detailed timeline for...

welcome to jamaicanincanada and other new posters too...

Jammy... must feel great to know that you're in the final stretch... lets hope its a short one!!

sherig and missing, one of ya'll got to bust soon... the next update needs to be from one of you two since we need to get 2007/2008 OFF the spreadsheet to make room for the 2010 and soon 2011'ers... 2009'ers got to get on moving too!!!!

hope all is well... hopefully we'll get an update tomorrow... or more than one!

take care all
