Hi folks,

Now I've been reading some of your are going through Vancouver instead of Montreal, and being that we are in Edmonton, way closer to VAN than to MTL, I have some questions; that may actually help a lot of us in the West part of Canada.

1. Who can have their files transferred to Vancouver? (we are going IV route, no k-3)

2. How to do it?

3. For those already with the Vancouver experience, how was it for you?

etc., etc., etc.

Thanks a bunch!!!

L&B.

On the bright side, your doing DCF which is much faster route than what others are taking.

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1
