Period to get interview date & Medical Question

[zohaib 0]

two simple question looking for input!

1. After log in fails how much time it takes to get interview date? Loged in Fail date is May 12, 2010

2. Do we need to wait for any paper work for medical or we are supposed to go ahead and schedule the medical with out interview date? If yes then what is the procedure? Is medical appointment at Toronto also backloged? or we can get the appointment easily? Appointments available on Saturday?

Thanx

Depends, looks like MTL is backlogged;

There is another thread that is keeping a master list of the MTL people and their dates:

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/94768-ir1-cr1-montreal-timeline-to-interview/page__st__2910

check out there to get an idea of what the dates currently look like.

they schedule appointments during the second week of the month, for the next month.

so right now they are 'supposed' to be scheduling us for June.

WAIT on your e-mail/package before scheduling your medical,

it's my understanding you can't even get the medical without the letter,

[correct me if I'm wrong]

When it comes time,

some people were saying they were having some issues scheduling their appointments in TO,

they had to call MANY times before they got an answer.

They can actually schedule at anytime during the month - though usually not in that first week - many have received notification of their interviews in the last week of the month.

My wife and I just finished our visa petition(IR-1) on May 10th and it took 4 months from the time NVC completed and sent our file to Montreal until our interview. So prepare to wait

Also, Canada Post lost our appointment letter and we were still able to schedule and complete the medical exam at the MD's office in Toronto without the appointment letter. The MD's office initially told us they needed the appointment letter to conduct the medical, but they went ahead and did it without the letter. They were very friendly and helpful.

Good Luck

We were scheduled the end of the month for an interview 6 weeks later.

We were required to have a copy of our interview letter for my medical in Toronto. I was able to get through the same day to make an appointment and there was no problem getting my medical done well ahead of my interview date. Good luck!
