Port of Spain Office, Trinidad and Tobago

[trinirock]

Hey POS, I saw online that the VAC office in POS Trinidad will be closing for good on the 1st November. My husband recently got his PPR but he is unable to submit his passport until the 5th November...does anyone know where is the new drop off location? Is it at the embassy directly???

Am I the only one left waiting for Passport request?

You'll hear something soon. Probably any day now! Just try and stay positive

when you get your ppr email, they will tell you exactly where. I knew two other people who got their ppr earlier this year and they were told to send it to the embassy directly. Most likely it will be there but dont worry, they should let you know.

Hey.. Did you hear any changes when you call the toll number before the golden email?

I didnt, it literally didnt change until after the PPR then I called 4 days later and it said he is approved.

I'm so confused about what they are doing. The website makes it seem they are closed for good. But my husband dropped off his passport and was told that they were moving to a new location.

Also I find it interesting that they give no alternative drop off location after Nov 1st but tell you that you have 30 days to submit the requested documents. If they really are moving locations maybe they will put up a notice on their websites for the new address soon?

No#3 is a tough one for me to answer as that only depend on IRCC... I have been following the June 2018 thread and saw people already got pre-arrival and passport request

but I honestly think this coming week a few of you'll will receive some notifications from POS!

Hi Trinirock thank you for your support
