The only one i can think of is the one that caused me delays which is--- take all original documents that they've requested for you to bring. The interview itself (for me) was 10seconds long, he asked where my husband works and that was it.

Select IV Service

Please select the service type that fits your needs.

I need to register an Immigrant Visa appointment

I have received a letter from the consular section with instructions to schedule an appointment.

I need to schedule a K Visa (fiance or spouse/child) appointment

I have received a letter to register or schedule a Diversity Lottery visa appointment

Warning: K Visa applicants will be required to pay a nonrefundable Visa application fee. If you do not know which service you require, do not continue. Verify the visa classification written on your appointment letter.

They show me like this when i try to register for the pick up service

Hey guys!! I have a question, we only need to bring vaccination records as per the age group shows on the particular doctors website, right? My medical is on 29th and i m super confused

Yes, whichever vaccines hold relevant to you based on the information of their site - bring. For me, it was easy to get a medical history from a local Health Unit (which included vaccines over the course of my entire life, so that's good).

On the medical examiner's website it shows the particular age group and find the one you fall under and the correct vaccine information should be listed. Most likely it'll be (for most of us) your Td/TdAP, MMR, seasonal flu and varicella. :-)

Um, board or panel physician, rather than "medical examiner," one hopes.

Hey! I had my interview last Wednesday. Status changed to "Issued" on Friday. It was just updated with the courier information about half an hour ago, and I'm getting it sent to the same place as you (800 Rene Levesque). I imagine I'll be able to pick it up by latest tomorrow.
