Hello, everyone. So after making the preps for a few years Ive decided to take the plunge and gather documents. Only to discover there are no IELTS openings before DECEMBER!! I applied but I really thought I would be able to submit by summer. Going abroad would dip into proof of funds. Any advice?
not much you can do beside booking for December and then following up to see if persons have dropped out so you can get an earlier date.

Keep calling. Sometimes they have openings. Also you want to try Mo-bay to sit the exam. Good luck!

Do it in Mobay. That's what I did and got an earlier date.

Hi everyone I am new in the group and I am elated to find a Jamaican group. I have 439 points and I am remaining hopeful. I noticed that there has been mention of a whatsapp group, how do I join it?

Hi guys. I haven't been very active in this group since I joined the WhatsApp group but I figured I'd make an update here. We received our PPR on July 27!! Timeline is as follows:

Ielts: Dec 2
Joined pool: Feb 10
ITA: Feb 21
AOR: Apr 18
IP1?: Apr 23
MEP: May 8
IP2: July 27
PPR: July 27
CRS: 482
NOC for both: 3131

A little over 3 months from AOR to IP2 and we are beyond grateful! Hope this gives all those waiting encouragement. We submitted our passports on Aug 13 due to the fact that we were travelling, so now we are awaiting their return. No rush though because we plan to land in January.

Thanks for all the help from this thread!!

Btw does anybody know how long the Kingston VO normally take to return passports with COPR ?
