It's normal for the short processing time, don't worry too much... they only requested passport for my husband. But i told him to take wedding pics, passport pics, social media posts and watsapp conversations. Ultimately u want to be able to prove that ur relationship is genuine... So, with some proof in hand out will make him feel more confident and prepared....please use the questions posted earlier for preparation...they are the hit!!!
Thank you for your response. I feel more confident. Yeah!

Hi Guys!!!!!!!! I went to the interview with hubby on Nov 2 @ 1pm..We were there for about 2 hours because they made us go in town for new passport size pics and comeback to them!!! HE GOT HIS VISA ON SPOT!!! I am so happy that this process is finally over!! My hubby is coming home with me tommorow.. The immigration officer asked not even one question. They took his passport and we waited for visa to print and that's it... lol one of the ladies in the front said we took a risk with buying plane ticket so soon. So happy I did.. Guys my advice is if U can take a couple days off of work and support your spouse at interview I found that helped with no questions being asked... Good Luck Guys!!!

Congrats to everyone that are getting to reuinte with their family and those that have upcoming interviews. I am new here. Never realize that there was a jamaican forum. I am looking for feedback. Our app went in end of July 2017 and my spouse got a call and email for interview end of Nov 2017. They requested passport, original marriage and birth certificate. I am happy like over the moon because my family could finally be together for the first christmas, birthday. With that said a part of me is a bit nervous because no request for pictures plus our timeline seems faster than most. Just asking for feedback to prepare. Is this normal? I don't want to be over confident.
Hi kieshat, it's not unusual to get through that fast. A friend of mine got through in 5 months a few years ago. Also, they do not ask all of us for pictures. It could be that the ones you initially provided were enough for them. I understand the nerves as I too get those jitters from time to time but things are going to be ok. You are almost at the end of this long tedious journey. Have a great weekend :)

Oh dear I think that might be a question that you'll have to call cic, you should have maybe considered doing your application inland.
I don't think anyone here has been in your situation but please if anyone knows all the better

Did you apply for outland for him? If that is the case they will want him to do the medical in Jamaica. As JamaicanSnowflakes said its best to contact CIC.

Hey, hubby was also in Canada on a visa and got medical request. We took the letter and did the medical here. Only thing, its more expensive here though, but you will be fine. You're good, don't worry. Google medical immigration online and you will get the closest lab to you.

All the best!

From what i have seen through husband checks, They start security checks from when you submitted app to Mississauga. They have checked with US and other allied countries if there are reportable traces. On my husband interview date, gckey changed to background check in process during the interview. They definitely do it prior to and during interview i believe. I cant really answer how long does it take. Hope this helps
