My fiance is trying to prepare with maps for when he gets there in two weeks...

4520485128_9080b659e2_o.png

A = Burrard Inn

1144 Burrard St

Vancouver, BC

B = Medical

1144 Burrard St

Vancouver, BC

(assuming this is in building 1144, and in like, suite #250 ??)

C = US Consulate

1095 W Pender St

Vancouver, BC

He'll be using the skytrain from the airport, and walking the rest of his journey.

I know the maps should do it, but confirmation can't hurt right? >.<

Thank you!

Yes, that's right. The walk is not far at all, between the places. There will probably be people in front of US consulate when he gets there, so he won't miss it. And it's on the right side of the Pender street. Edit: But he doesn't have to go on Hornby, he can just go straight down on Burrard and turn left on Pender

That's quite a far walk!

I'd go to the bustop on Burrard Street in front of the Burrard Skytrain station and catch the #22 MacDonald bus. About 7 stops later, get off in front of St. Paul's hospital and walk.

Well, LOL, I'm pregnant and out of shape so any 15-20 mins walk is long to me.

Heh...I was TOTALLY about to say, "Yeah, but Reven is preggers..."

It's an easy walk. He'll get to pass the trendy Robson St. area too, though he'll be a block away from the two large Starbucks kitty-corner to each other. Awww. ;)

I dont think its that long of a walk! I have walked a lot of downtown Vancouver, and that doesn't look too bad.

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

Its a really pleasant walk if the weather is good.. NASTY if its raining though.

Invictus..

Out of the night that covers me,

Black as the Pit from pole to pole,

I thank whatever gods may be

For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance

I have not winced nor cried aloud.

Under the bludgeonings of chance

My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears

Looms but the Horror of the shade,

And yet the menace of the years

Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,

How charged with punishments the scroll.

I am the master of my fate:

I am the captain of my soul.

I covered 6 kilometers that day.

Burrard Inn to Woking Medical. //Half a block. Show up for medical

Woking Medical to Travel Clinic (W Georgia & Burrard). //Medical finished, go get TDap shot for inclusion in vaccination list in medical report

Travel Clinic back to Woking Medical //Give them proof of TDap shot

Woking Medical to Consulate //Show up for interview

Consulate to Woking Medical //Interview approved pending medical. Go pick up medical results

Woking Medical to Consulate //Give medical results to Consulate. Approved.

Consulate to Burrard Inn. //Done walking. Order pizza, go to bed.

Woking Medical to the US Consulate is 15 minutes at a brisk walk, 20 if you mosey somewhat. I had beautiful weather, but make sure you've got a good jacket and head covering if it's raining. In that situation, I'd have seriously considered dropping some cash on cab fare for one or more of the legs, particularly the last 3, after the first visit to the consulate, around 2-3 pm, when time becomes a consideration.

DON'T PANIC
