Hello and welcome to Morlon, who stopped in from over at the POS thread.

Basha, Mrslwsn and suki's hubbies had their passport's back within a week of getting Decision Made updates (also using DHL), so it might be cutting it a bit close to book hubby a ticket for next Friday to be in time for the shower, but it is possible!

Have a great evening, everyone!

BBBB and Amanda, don't forget those landing stories!

 

[BASHA]

Thanks Charlie. U are right. Was thinking the same thing. Guess I will play it by ear.

Congrats Amanda and BBBB. Hubby Deh Yah!!!!

 

[suki]

my hubby's passport took 3 weeks and it was with Airpak..
icefluffy your turn soon come, get ready for some good news!!

Charlie how heavy are your books?? you must be bringing a few suitcases with you!

 

[CharlieD10]

LOL, suki! Most of them won't be coming with me, actually. I am giving them to a friend who is as big on reading as I am. I am bringing the ones I won't be parted from, such as my Lord of the Rings collection, as well as some textbooks I keep for reference purposes.

 

[green1074]

quick question guys... I haven't been able to find a solid answer.

anyone have a clue about converting out of country drivers license? For Ontario, it says if you're claiming more than 12 months of driving experience, they require a letter from an authority in Jamaica - high commission, transport authority etc. - that will show how long you've been driving.

How did y'all go about it? Thanks for the feedback

 

[kym]

Basha Just have Hubby ready to leave. By Friday if U can.

Watch the DHL tracker, I'm sure even if he gets it by Thursday u can still get him a ticket to leave by Friday or early Saturday. I have faith he will get it back this week.

Cause I'm pushing my hubby to be ready to leave Friday Too. Cause I want him here for the long weekend. Hubby is picking his up on Tuesday.

Oh Shoot BAD MANNERS thank you Forum Family for all your help N Congrats.

I wouldn't be able to get through this process. If anyone is located in Brampton let me know we can link up for a drink.

Have A happy Saturday.

 

[BASHA]

Good morning Family,

Kym you are so right. I am itching to buy his ticket. Yes I am checking the DHL tracker. I am so anxious, nervous and excited all at the same time.

Have a wonderful day!!!

Yes I want to know about the driving record as well should I tell hubby to bring up a letter as well to make it easier to get his License as well?

 

[Mrslwsn]

In regards to the driving/licence. My husband is driving on his Jamaican license which is valid here for 60 days. We went to the consulate here in Toronto, paid 30 dollars and in 7 days they called him to come pick up his driving record which is valid for 6 months. The driving record can then be used to jump right to rd test (provided the person has 3 + yr driving experience) so basically the consulate letter is used to jump the graduated licensing system. I think this has to be done thru the consulate here, because we have a police link and he said we would need to contact the tax office, and my husband has a good friend in the mobay tax office, and she was not able to get the letter either.

 

[CharlieD10]

Or, they can apply to the Island Traffic Authority on Maxfield Avenue for their driving record before leaving Jamaica. I believe lonely_wife's husband did that. http://www.mtw.gov.jm/general_information/contacts.aspx

 

[Mrslwsn]

Good luck getting that back in decent time ;D

 

[Mrslwsn]

Oh btw (manners) Congrats to all updates, and reunifications...what a blessed yr this has been!!!!

Yes it took about 10 days for my husband to get back his pp from dhl with the visa.

 

[chelley]

My husband got his drivers abstract at the Traffic authority on maxfield... Same week turnaround... One of the few things in Jamaica that was, at the time, free and relatively uncomplicated

 

[Mrslwsn]

Well thats surprising but great to know!!

 

[BASHA]

Thanks foR the reply about the driving record. Hubby lives in Hanover so it would be difficult for him to go all the to Kingston for the driving record so I might take Mrslwsn route. Considering his time is limited in Jamaica.

Thanks
