You can hold on to the pictures. I know one of the forms says, "Please attach the following when submitting..." - birth certificate, divorce certificates, passport pictures, evidence of engagement (whatever that means) - but you don't have to submit any of that - just check off what you have in originals on the checklist, and send the forms and the checklist.

Get lots of passport pictures - you need 3 for the medical and 2 for the interview.

I also didn't book my medical until I had packet 4 as the instructions are in it. I booked my interview first then called to book the medical to insure that it would be in plenty of time before hand.

So how are you all handling the CSC site- what I mean is : Is the person registering on the CSC site for appointment and DHL the U.S. citizen or the Canadian beneficiary? Is this also where we pay the

BM, Yes, you can send off packet 3 before you get the hard copy. I called DOS several times to ask if Montreal had received my file from the NVC. (In my case, this took about 3 weeks). I sent pack

All this week, interview appointments have been offered for the middle of July only, but this morning, nearly all of April was available to choose from. I don't know if this is at all unusual, but those of you waiting on Montreal, don't lose hope!!

Thats crazy, did to take something earlier?

I just got off the phone with DOS and my P3 has been logged yay!

So I'll be booking soon.

April might just be too soon for me though.

Quick question did you guys book as soon as they logged your P3 or did you wait until it said your P4 was sent?

O silly me your sig said you moved up to April 20th, wow yay for you!

I sure did!! :dance: :dance: :dance:

The DoS never told me P3 had been received, only that P4 had been sent. I asked the girl several times, "so they've sent Packet 4? So I'm allowed to book an interview? When did they send Packet 4?" Keep checking in!

Man I hope so. Pushing things way ahead of schedule is not what I expected at all at this point. Now I`m totally stressed out!!!

I thought I had a bunch of time still. This throws a wrench in all my plans, well time for some new plans!

Congratulations, everyone.

Rebooking is so tempting but I don't want to be bothered rebooking my medical as well. Plus my fiance hasn't sent me his 2010 tax info yet.

Ok so now I'm trying to book my medical at the Toronto office.

I just called and left a message and I sent a short email telling them my interview date and that I'm ready to book.

Am I missing anything?

Here's what Medisys in Montreal asks me to take to my medical (pretty sure it's standard for all clinics):

- Health book listing your vaccines/shots

- glasses if you wear contacts and take your prescription if you have it

- consulate's letter of confirmation you have an interview booked

- drug prescriptions (including the pill if applicable)

- passport

- 3 identical passport color photos

They told me they need full 3 days to process and you have to pick up your file at their office.

Hm, Medisys in Montreal told me that they could send it to me for an additional charge. There is no way I'm driving back to Montreal to pick up my results.
