My interview plan of attack ;)

[SapphireDreams 71]

I think you would be okay if you flew into Vancouver the night before, got a hotel room, went to the medical in the morning and then flew back the same day.

Same with the interview. Fly in the night before, attend the interview and fly home.

I don't think $80/night for a hotel is that much money to pay for piece of mind. Sucks to have to miss a day of work and pay for the hotel, but you need to think about the consequences. If you miss the interview it could be months before you get another one... and you'll have still invested the time and money to TRY to get there in the first place.

Also, piece of advice, never take the last flight of the day, it's always delayed and if it's cancelled you're pretty much screwed and must wait until the next morning for the next flight.

Sapphire is totally right about the last flight of hte day thing -- even with the slightest of delays/weather, that last flight'll always get the boot.

Good luck.

I see you haven't been on VJ enough to get interview paranoia. I say go with your original plan and fly by the seat of your pants

I was wondering why you were going to Vancouver for the medical but then I checked and saw that there were only 4 doctors now that do the immigration medical that is so crazy that isn't enough for such a big country like Canada..
