Any Jamaican study permit applicants for Jan 2020?

[Jamaicangirl]

Lol if you only knew the struggle i had to go through to get that amount. That 5k is great and if you work part time then you're good.

Accommodations are a big part of the monthly expenses so im sure what you submitted should be good.

I'm still saving from my salary til i leave as well but that will be for miscellaneous expenses like the air fare, winter clothes, school supplies etc.
Another question, did you submit a police report with your application? Thats what i am waiting on to submit mine..the police records office is closed til further notice so im a sitting duck til then

I have another question. Have you ever travelled to any country that requires visa such as US, Australia and or Canada? I noticed a lot of people from India have been refused visa because they’ve never traveled outside of their home country

Yes i have been to the US and other Caribbean Island. I have heard that too but they don't exclusively deny based ln that. It depends on yoir profile and if they believe you will return at the end of your studies

 

[forever21islander]

Yes I did because it is a requirement. Where do u live? Whichever parish you live go to their Area Police Headquarters and do it. You can do it at Area 2 Police HQ which is located at Pompana Bay, Tower Isle, St. Mary. Theirs is not closed and I find it weird that they are closed. As it relates to miscellaneous my aunt gonna buy a winter jacket etc. Faith can make things happen

I'm in Kingston and i had already paid for it and done the processing.Went back to collect it only to find out that that the office is closed because of some air quality issue but I'm optimistic that they will reopen this week.

Its great that you have some help. This process is no joke. Maybe if we both grt through we can travel together. I plan to leave in December. You?

You?[/QUOTAs long as you follow the checklist you have no worries. Are u submitting online? I recommend you do so. If you doing it yourself watch YouTube. The Agents are expensive and will charge you a lot of money for something you can do yourself

 

[forever21islander]

My projected travel time is December too. And girl we are going to get through lol. I recommend that you do the application online it’s process in less time. Also try to do the application yourself because the Agents will charge you one bag a money. Watch YouTube for the steps and you should be fine. Another is that you are to ensure that you submit your transcripts and degree/certificates.

 

[Jamaicangirl]

I would never think to apply on paper have no time for that. I'm doing tge application myself. I helped a friend with hers last year and she got through so im comfortable doing it on my own.

Didn't see where transcripts and degree certificates was a requirement..haven't heard of anyone who submitted thosw but will look into it before applying.

Ok. Girl I’m worried about the declared funds

 

[Jamaicangirl]

I understand but i think you should be good. I'm sure the anxiety is crippling.

Still here waiting on word re the police report. Its so frustrating! It's the only thing I'm waiting on.

Did they ask you to do biometrics and medical already?

 

[forever21islander]

Trust me it’s not the best feeling. I did submit medical based on the initial program I applied for which would bring me in close contact with people. A medical is not need for Management courses
