[wagonrunner]

wagonrunner, Im concerned with that same sentiment given the recent travelling situation

anybody ever got the MRP at the Trini embassy in London? Or Miami? I'm always transiting through the US & Europe,it seems it might be easier getting it there...

I had an appointment in the Toronto Consulate, I arrived early, and was then told that the system was down so they cannot take photos, then the person doing the interviews said that they not going to do any if the system down, even though it is independent process.
I got another appointment and eventually, after some hours, got through.
There's a decent looking chick working there though.

cant blame them for wanting all the documents, because a passport is the most important piece of identification you could have that would be accepted worldwide

the local office need all their bases covered in case one of you dumbasses get the idea to go blow up a plane, and then they trace it back to "wait na....his name on his passport nuh matching his birth certificate,how he get a passport?"

[Damien]

But if you just renewing form old passport to new they supposed to have all these documents initially

Lol I went for mines at the consulate in Toronto,called many weeks ahead to get an appointment time.
I'd heard stories that the appointment time was in reality a first come first serve arrangement,went early and got out in under an hour.
All of the People ahead of me didn't have their documents in order and were turned away.
Sometimes it is the people who make it hard on themselves,the instructions were clearly stated on the website yet they failed to abide by them.
Needless to say the poor souls who came for their appointment times had a very long wait and were pissed

tell me something
if u happened to be passing thru d states, shouldnt u be able to renew it there too? cause at d end of d day we are trinis and jus renewing our trini passports

cinco, like yuh jus answer my question i throw at maserati
cause i headin to NYC nex fri and i want to renew my damn passport while i there and d a$$holes saying i hadda go to the consulate in toronto
steups
i not a permanent resident of Canada...my primary address is Trin...and i done using time off from work to go NYC, I doh wa take more time off jus to go Toronto to do this

[Chimera]

Wouldn't they have to send to Trinidad for the passports though?

but as i said above, family member had to wait 6 months to renew his passport in london embassy

And you cant really use the line "oh gosh boss, renew it for meh na, it gonna expire just now", as they dont let you travel unless your passport has atleast 6 months before expiry date

[anish]

y do they have to send it to Trin?
all i wa do is renew to the electronic
my passport expires this yr in July or August
i hav a work permit and in Canada (not in Ontario)
i got my appointment for the consulate in NYC as i planned this in advance
and after i book ticket dey look to bawl i cah do it and hav to go Toronto

explain to me the reasoning behind this cause it doh make any sense to me...iz a Trini consulate, any trini should be able to renew no matter where it located

[cinco]

the only place that can issue you a new passport is in trini they are all printed there
so they take your paperwork and mail you the new passport 2-3 months later

My mom lives in New York but I was told that she is allowed to apply for MR passport here in Toronto. The only problem is that she will have to pick it up in person at the consulate since her residential address is in New York and they will not mail to there.

[Maserati]

Yea they just do the paperwork at the consulate and the passport comes from Trinidad...they say around 3 months but you know these things go.

Anish you could argue but I don't know what good it would do.


Call the Toronto consulate, and see when they have appointments, may be a few months down the road though.

sensiman, they too damn lazy and cheap to mail it, it would appear

[Oleander]

My appointment is in April

I called since November Dec 08

Is a passport, what if it get stolen?

You most likely have to sign for a passport or show some kind of receipt when you collect it.

I was not complaining, I endorse this. I was just responding to the comments where people were told that they cannot apply on a country unless they lived there, as opposed to the instructions we got

and yes, she would have to bring the receipt and sign in person.

Apparently I could get mine mailed to my residence

but I prefer to pick it up in person anyhow, feels safer

[dreadman]

[equipped2ripp]

[eitech]

[UML]

[Country_Bookie]

Anyone knows if it's a must to walk with ur National ID card or will the Driver's Permit suffice? Haven't gotten time to collect my new ID as yet and my appointment is on Monday.
