My kids and I had our interview in Montreal a couple of weeks ago. There was a problem with my medical which I thought would be resolved rather quickly, so when the interviewer in MTL said the visas were approved and suggested we leave our passports there until the medical was sorted, I said ok. So, now it looks like it's going to be a couple of months before the medical is sorted. :(

Since my kids will be out of school for the summer and I am no longer working, we'd like to go and spend a few weeks with my fiance while we're waiting -- which means I need to get our passports back.

I know that it can be done. I've seen the posts here about sending the email and *how* it's done. I just want to make sure that I'm not setting myself up for more trouble by doing it.

Is it as simple as requesting the passports back, and then sending them in again when I send the medical documentation? Will there be a fee for the extra transit of the passports? Is it all done through Loomis, just as it would be if I was getting the passport with the visa in it?

My fiance was concerned that we would have to re-do the interview or something, but I'm 99% certain that's not the case... unless someone here wants to correct me on that.

I would greatly appreciate any hints, tips or extra information that anyone who has been there, done that can provide.

Thanks!
