I'm going to put your worries to an end then. I had my interview Wednesday and my passport is available for pick up today. That's 2 days. Now if you go back and look at Canadians over the past months,

Merry Christmas to you all as the holidays loom upon us! I still have this thread followed, and just want to express that Saylin's general NVC thread is still a wealth of information that would help

Congrats!!! I know how exciting it is to see the 3 N/As :)

The last few things go by so quickly (medical, interview, etc.) -- you'll be done with this whole process in no time.

Best of luck to you!
