My husband was at the Canadian High Commission today and picked up his PRV about an hour ago. The fastest trip yet.  We counted, he's been there 6  times now, and FINALLY this is the last!
 
I've booked him a plane ticket to leave Jamaica on Friday!!!! YIPPEEEE!!! Party
 
I'll stick around as time permits as I have met many, many wonderful people here and would like to help them through this long and tedious process.

It certainly is a long, lonely and frustrating journey. But I don't understand why it' been 365 days. 
 
I'm sorry, but in all likelyhood he won't make it here for another couple of months after the request for the medical redo. Have you considered doing a TRV? It might be wise to do in December.

i'm sorry to hear of yr frustrations. unfortunately, until the chc office sends a request to redo the medical, you will have to continue to endure the wait.

have u tried making contact with them thru their email service?

dont get discouraged, the processing time varies and each case is different.

easily answered...

there are some personal/family matters that need to be sorted out properly before a full transition is made.

my family and i are fortunate enough not to be in a situation that would have canada being our only or best option and can therefore make a much more gradual transition to what will become our new home.

Thanks A_Yardie, Was that for a PRV or a TRV? Does their time frame differ on those? I don't know if the procedure is the same for a TRV.
 
We're on 9 working days today (includes Friday's), because although they aren't open to the public.... I like to think that they still work and make phone calls lol

my passport took 12 days to be returned but bear in mind that included 1 Jamaican holiday and 2 fridays on which the chc isnt open to the public.

My husband got the call the drop off his Passport in Kingston and has done so.

Any one got experience with this one?    I was wondering how many working days it took you to get a phone call from Canadian High Commission in Kingston that your Passport was ready to pick up?
