Hey, we really should arrange that for people who are landing at a connecting airport! If I was in Toronto I'd do it for sure.

If anyone is dealing with Trinidad/ Port of Spain office...I've just learned that It's pointless calling them!!! They aren't answering any phone calls...they are excepting emails, but only if you send 1 email. Otherwise they won't answer you and will delay your application!!

Other than that, I'm excited cause I should give birth any day now...yay!!!!

Good luck lovebajan! A boy or a girl?

I got some news... my file was transferred to NYC to expedite. I've heard some horror stories :( But like hubby says, no news is good news, so I'm gonna try to think positive thoughts! :) I can't change the situation now so there's no reason to worry over it!

what does this mean? i have heard of US applications being transferred, but didn't know how, or why. Expedite sounds like a good thing, so what are the horror stories? Tell me more!

Everything will turn out fine for you and your hubby and you'll get a PPR soon. We are still in the process of getting the two pieces of info that Buffalo has requested for and hopefully it'll be sent to them by next week!

Both of us are in toronto now for the labor day weekend! Just want to give you a shout out since we are in town! ;D

Maybe I was being dramatic :p but NYC loves to lose documents, and I've heard that they sometimes wait a long time to start processing once it's been transferred.. but far fewer people have experience with this office, so maybe all we hear are the bad stories. It mainly sucks because I can't give them my passport in person.

fanatics, have fun in the city! The national exposition is on, and it's gonna be a lot cooler this weekend! We were gonna run around and do some stuff, but hubby is sick in bed so we may just veg out :)

We want a surprise...but we think it's a girl!!! I already have a son, so that would be something.

Thanks for the best wishes everyone...what is alarming about Trinidad's office is that I don't even know if they started processing yet...plus I've sent them a letter and my husband's latest police check...(I'm not sure if I mentioned that in a previous post before...forgive me, my pregnant mind has me so forgetful!! lol)

Enjoy your weekend!

Hello All! I just received my PPR through an email!!! I am so excited, and thought I'd let you all know. Oh, I can't believe it! I wasn't expecting an email, and I guess I wasn't expecting it so soon. Now I've got to finish packing!

Good news, moo!

My ecas changed today to reflect the file transfer. No news other than that.

I'm trying to cut back on the forums... I just get myself upset and worked up and that doesn't do anyone any good :)
