HOW I migrated to Trinidad & Tobago : Processes and Documents Needed | CSME Certificate
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- Hey Guys!
I'm often asked about the processes I underwent during my move to Trinidad from Saint Lucia.
For me, the process was super simple, as both Saint Lucia and Trinidad are CARICOM member states. CARICOM states have an agreement which allows for free movement of people for labour ( amongst other things.)
As such, I did not need a Work Permit, as the CSME certificate replaces the work permit for CARICOM member states.
** Sorry about the background noise! A new development is being built close to where I reside... and they're working round the clock!

I’m very happy you found opportunities in my home country of TT, I currently live in the USA. I generally visit once a year, but due to the pandemic that has become impossible.
You touched on ageism, and mention that your home country (StLucia seems to prefer older people), by my observation TT practices ageism, although reverse from your experience. They seem to prefer younger people and shut out older people.
I believe this has to do with the practices of forced retirement at specific ages, pension allocations, and economic advantages of employing the young.
Our country needs to be aware of this resource of immigrants from our region, and if necessary beyond! Trinidad and Tobago is very fortunate to have the resource of young eager people like yourself interested in relocating there with your education and skills.
Many of us are cheering you on!
Thank you!
Hi Keith. Thank you for your insightful comments ( re ageism) ... Personally I think that each demographic has soo much to contribute to development. Thanks for your well wishes too! They've made my day.
My home country 🇹🇹
🥳🥳
I love you country but I don't have any good ideas to travel can't you help me
I am so thrilled Trinidad and Tobago its so vast and Its grown a lot plenty of businesses in the energy Sector , Social Development and Opportunities that best suites Your lifestyle etc May Almighty Bless U
Thank you for the blessings Josanne. I am no longer resident in Trinidad & Tobago, but I have nothing but well wishes for the land and the people. I throroughly enjoyed my season in Trinidad !
Hi Chadel! Thank you for this video. As a non-CARICOM country citizen this has indeed been helpful!
Hii! I'm super happy to hear that you found the information helpful! .. I was worried that it would not pertain to all my subscribers.
You want move too Trinidad
Mashalaal glad we made you feel welcome because st Lucia is my favourite island in the Caribbean
Super comprehensive content. Goes hand in hand with the two law courses I am currently studying. That being employment law and caribbean integration law
Hey! Glad that you I was giving accurate info. 😂 ... but I'm happy to know that you found it useful! All the best with your studies!
Lovely video! ❤ it’s the opposite for me…lol. Im migrating from Trinidad to St. Lucia in 1 month for a better job opportunity. I love Trinidad but I’m not being professionally challenged anymore as a government worker. Don’t get me wrong…I love my job also but I really couldn’t turn down the opportunity that I’ve been blessed with. Im so excited to experience St. Lucia! ❤
Wow, that was very informative and straightforward. Thank you for sharing so clearly to us.
And thank you for watching and commenting!!
I've always wanted to come through there and work on the resort ⛵ and hopefully I will get that way 🔜 by the summer
Very informative. I would not advise anybody to go to T&T without securing a job. You may be disappointed. You also must ensure that you know where you are going to live and you must have some saved money to back you up. Don't expect people to feel sorry for you and be a good samaritan unless they are very close relatives who are able to help you. Even people who have lived abroad know this. T&T has changed from what it was decades ago.
I agree whole heartedly with everything you said. Trinidadians are lovely people, especially if you are a social butterfly.. they love to lime ... but persons from smaller Caribbean islands may experience culture-shock, because many parts no longer have that island-y, neigbourly vibe, where everyone looks out for the other.... and that's unfortunate, because that is part of our identity as Caribbean nations.
I agreed and align with you
@@ChadelMathurin . I beg to differ. It depends on who you encounter. So many Trinidadians.open their homes and pocket to Venezuelans. And other people of different nationalities!
Some great info. I hadn’t thought about the separate application process for residency. Thank you!!
Glad it was helpful! You're welcome!
You are beautiful skin is amazing your teeth is perfect your hair is nice beautiful full lips. Just gorgeous 😻😻This is a great video btw would love to migrate but I don’t fall under any of the categories
Thanks sis!
Well there are other ways to migrate. You would just have to satisfy the requirements for a work permit
Hi Chadel , i'm new here, i grew up there, but i am Vincy, i now live in the US but have been thinking lately about returning, because you are right about tnt i just love it thanks for the update on my second home country
love you ,we let me go check out your video library
Hi Duel. Welcome aboard. I've been MIA for a bit.
I hope you make a decision that brings you joy!
This was so informative. Thank you
Yay! Happy to hear that!
Thanks for watching!
Wanna know much more about how I could get to St Lucia if I am living in Haiti ?
Hi. Be sure to contact the immigration division in St.Lucia; or check out their website.
@@ChadelMathurin thanks, but do you have the official website please ?
Beautiful lady, great video, very informative
Process: you have to make 6 copies of the document along with copies of a passport size photo.
You have to fill out a police character from your bith country and that of the host country.
You have to get your documents stamped by JP.
You have to go to ministry of national security and do an interview where they will ask you questions about why you want to be in Trinidad.
You have to give evidence of where you will be staying and with who.
Thank you for filling in what I may have missed.
How can I get all my jamaican friends here to work legally in trinidad ?
I'm Ghanaian can i change from visa free to work permit while in Trinidad and Tobago
Also If I am correct For the purpose of the Skills Certificate application process, Trinidad and Tobago recognizes only a man legally married to a woman or a woman legally married to a man as his/her spouse.
I have not had reason to look into the specificities of the certificate regarding marriage , but I do know that Trinidad and Tobago legally recognises Common-Law Unions ( if you meet the base requirements). I don't know whether they are recognised in relation to the CSME cert though. They have a website so you can probably reach out.
Girl, why??? Coming from a Trini... You are really beautiful
😂 I quite love Trinidad! ... There were opportunities for development there for me... thank you!
What if you are a US citizen? Like me I’m moving to Guyana and have applied for Guyanese citizenship because of my parents are from there. So when I become a citizen of Guyana, can I apply for the caricom certifications?
Good question. I am not a lawyer/ CSME expert 😬 ; but there should not be any barriers to applying if you have acquired Guyanese citizenship. Please consult with the Guyanese CSME office. They will be able to give you better guidance.
Did you apply for the trinidad and tobago csme while living in trini?
Hi. Yes I did apply for the T&T certificate while already in TT. I was already in possession of the one from St.Lucia; but it shouldn't matter whether you have one from your home country or not.
Thank you so much for this super helpful video, Chadel!! I was wondering what the process of obtaining the TT/host country certificate was like once you arrived?
The pleasure is mine Sarah!
I spoke a little to that in the video but I guess I didn’t go into much detail.
It was super simple. I went into the ministry of foreign affairs , got the form and brought in my necessary docs; then they called to let me know when it was ready.
The only thing that gave me some issues was getting my certificate of character from St.lucia while in Trinidad(because I didn’t come to Trinidad with one). It was super difficult to get my fingerprints from the TT police station to send to Saint Lucia (because finger prints are a requirement if you’re applying for a certificate of character from outside of a country).
We running to go everywhere else and i shocked ppl want to come here....feeling priviledged right now.
Ikr I was literally researching how to migrate from this place and saw this 😂😂
😂 ... it's the same with every country. Saint Lucia, my home, is quite appealing to some people, while I have chosen to migrate. But I'm happy that this video changed your perspective.
hi i like your video i would like to talk to about migrating to a crime free caribbean country with jobs, the reason for one to leave trinidad is because the cost of living is very high.
Hi thank you for this video.
How long the process is taken?
Hi, I can't remember exactly, and perhaps the pandemic has extended the time, period but I think they said it would be ready between 4 - 8 weeks. I definitely got mine within the 4 week mark.
new here sis,i planing to go in Trinidad and Tobago On July,Im a filipino,what will be my document i need thank you
Did you get your csme after getting your qualifications or before?
I got it after because I applied for it on the grounds of being a university graduate. (I listed the categories of people who qualify for the cert.)
Ermm thinking about your question what do you mean? Do you mean if I had received my diploma in hand yet?
No I hadn’t received my physical diploma for the certificate from my home country .. but I had to present proof of completion.
I hope either one of those answers work for your question!
Yes I understood. Because when I was there they told me they only accept persons with Bachelors...... Note I had recently completed my Diploma. That was in 2018
Lisa Hossanah yes; under the category of university graduate you need to have completed a BSC.
Thank you for your time and sharing the info.
Question: What job boards/websites did you use when job hunting?
Hi Danielle. Apologies for my late reply.
If I remember correctly I used caribbeanjobs at the time. I would also do independent searches of the governmental ministries. I also asked my friends to send me any vacancies which looked like a good fit.
The vacancy of the job I landed was shared with me by a friend .
No worries! Okay, thanks!
How is the crime and expenses. Job is very hard to find.
The cost of living is quite high and rising almost everyday...and it does take some time to secure employment, from my experience.... but there are good opportunities if you are fortunate.
This is good information
Thanks for the feedback! And for watching
and girl!!! I need to message you on IG.🤦🏾♀️🤭
