Where will my medical and interview be?

[Tim and Erin 3]

I'm in Ontario, Canada. When the time comes, will my interview be in Montreal or Ottawa? At one time I thought I was sure it was Ottawa, but now I'm thinking it's Montreal? Or is that just where the medical will be done? Sorry, I'm a bit confused. (Probably not the only one in here today who's feeling that way.)

Yes, your interview will be in Montreal. They don't do any immigration processing at the Embassy in Ottawa.

You will schedule your own medical appointment with one of the few panel physicans in Canada. There is one in Montreal and one in Toronto so you get to choose which one you would like. You will be sent information from the Consulate that will tell you what you need to do and where the medicals are available.

Good luck.

Hi Erin, and welcome to VJ! Haven't seen you posting before, but please check out the Canada forum where we're there to help you with the process, and anything unique about going through the Canadian Consulate, moving, physician's appointments, photo's...you name it! Here's the link.

Here is as well a link to the VJ Canada Wiki page that is also helpful...about moving, EI, GST cheques etc.

Hi, and thanks for all of your replies.

For the medical, Montreal is closer for me, but of course I'd go anywhere I had to go, now wouldn't I?

Tim and I are just at the starting point, where we're gathering up stuff to photocopy etc. to send with the K-1 application. I've been all over this website including the Canada forum and Wiki pages, doing alot of reading over the past month and trying to become as informed as possible. Thankyou anyway for the links. I'm looking forward to getting to know some fellow Canadians going through the same process. While reading some of the embassy reviews recently, I realized that alot of VJers have actually met while having interviews the same day. That's so cool!
