I hate to say it, but yes it is.
Kingston was on a role for PPR for a good two months (Oct-Nov) Before that, they were slow all this year, it seemed like they were issuing one PPR per month (People in this forum)
Now it's slowed down again...
But I think this time it's slowed down because of processing a large amount of refugees in a short time.

Hi! Sorry I havent been on for a few days. Yes, hubby had his jamaican licence. We went to the ministry, he wrote the g1, and then when he passed he booked for his g2 test so he has to go thru the graduated licencing but doesnt have to wait the year in between each level

Happy New Year everyone! All the very best for 2016!

I have a few questions and I'm hoping those with more experience can help me out. First of all, a bit of background: I'm in Canada, hubby is in Jamaica. We have been together a couple years now and we got married this past summer. We are applying for him and his two children to come here (Spousal Sponsorship).

What would you say are the most common mistakes that people make when doing their sponsorship application? We are almost done and hoping to send everything in within a few weeks. However, I'm starting to panic thinking that maybe I'm missing something or not including something (you know how it is when you look at something so long that you don't really see it anymore?) ... maybe I'm just freaking out for nothing but I want to avoid delays for mistakes that could have been avoided.

Did you guys do your own paperwork? I'm perfectly fine doing it myself but I'm considering getting a professional to review everything to ensure it's all good before submitting it, such as an immigration lawyer who sees these things all the time. Has anyone done this? What was your experience?

Another thing - am I right in thinking that it would be best to send in all medicals with the application, or wait? I'm reading here that it speeds up the process if it's all there to begin with (medical checks, fees paid in full, etc) so that they don't have to waste time requesting these things from you when they need them. However, I'm afraid they will expire and they'll have to keep re-doing them depending on how long the process takes.

I want to ensure the smoothest process possible. Thank you all for reading and (hopefully) replying! Have a great weekend :)

Hey Cblekken..... Welcome to the kingston thread. To address your concerns about the process. The most common mistakes i see happen to alot of ppl is that they forget to sign there signature somewhere on the application forms since the have to sign a few places. Try and send in all the medical with your application because they can extend the medical for you if its going to expire and if you can pay all the fees then pay it but you dont have to if you dont have the money for it because you can pay the permanent resident fee anytime in the process before they request it from you.... most ppl do there application on there own to save them money for lawyers but if you want a lawyer to check your application for you go ahead because it wont hurt you at all.... Just remember everyone application is different and it really depends on the visa officer that dealing with your application. some ppl get there visa faster than some ppl so you can be one of the lucky one to get threw quicker than some or you can be the unlucky one that take a longer time than other ppl. I hope this help you out... Try send as much evidence to prove that your relationship is genuine. Good Luck with your application............................................Maddants

Hi!
Welcome to our thread! I would say to make sure you are aware of all fees, and do the paperwork yourself unless there are circumstances that you may need legal advice with.
It doesnt actually speed up the process to have everything paid and medicals/police check in, it just makes sure that they dont have to request them from you, which would create a delay.
If you have any questions, ask here, we will help. Any documentation that helps to show your relationship is genuine is good (even if its a letter from a friend who can state they know you and your hubby and you guys are legit).
