We leave for our interview in Montreal on Sunday, wow that came fast! Today was my last day at work before our trip, and we are putting our house up for sale the day we get back so life has been a whirlwind!

Combined air miles with credit card points to get 2 round trip flights to montreal for only $12, was super happy about that! The hotel we are staying in has a pool and hot tub, we are there for 5 days for the medical and then interview so I will definitely be making use of those.

Like the poster from Winnipeg, I didn't get the RCMP police certificate only the Winnipeg one with National Criminal Records search box checked off so hopefully that will be enough, if it is not there is no time to do anything else at this point. I have not gotten any extra checklists or requests for info from the consulate so I am really hoping we will be okay.

Like the poster from Alberta, we will be doing our medical and interview all on the same trip, medisys told me they need 3 business days to process results, I gave them 4 just to be safe. I'm grateful that our interview fell on a Friday so we don't have to stay for the weekend when no processing is being done anyway.

Tonight I have to finish packing our bags and getting the final touches put on the immigration binder, tomorrow a trip to the spa for a couples massage, the perfect way to unwind from all this stress before the interview so we can be relaxed and natural. SO excited to move on to the next part of our lives already!

Your interview is on Nov 7th! Mine is on Nov 10th (next business day)! :dance:

Please make sure to "Submit Reivew" (next to your interview date on your timeline) so I can review it before my interview! LOL! :whistle:

Hiya!

Also got my interview date today, Dec 22nd! CC Oct 14th. WTH?! I almost fell off my chair at work and died when my husband told me.

I know thats a bit of a dramatic response but jeez. 10weeks between CC and interview. Yours is even longer.

I am certainly going to try and get an earlier date. You should too.

Matter of fact I have already drafted an email request ready to go once I get all the info on the process.

I've read that you call the help line and then they give you a code and email address to make the request.

Any knowldege about this?

Also do we have to wait for the NVC to send the docs to the embass first?

hi there, my case was completed on oct 23rd and I was hoping for an early dec interview date! can you let me know how you get on as I am also in the UK?

I'm glad I am not the only one procrestinating here :lol::whistle::rofl:

So far no signs of nervousness either... But I already know I won't be able to sleep the night before the interview :wacko::blush:

Another one doing the same here. Will get documents ready one day before and panic if anything missing. Next Friday is the interview. I got plenty of time.

Thanks for adding me. Is there country specific thread? India

what is the general delay from CC to interview date for India? any idea?

When should I start calling NVC for dates? Is the date be awaiable on CEAC or do we get an email? and if so after how many days from CC?

Appreciate if any can respond

I am also looking for the timeline for Mumbai. got CC on 10/29

hi. I don't know of a country-specific thread, but there are reviews of the Mumbai Consulate. About the delay from CC to interview scheduled, it does not work like after x days of CC, you'll get interview scheduled. Irrespective of when you got your CC, interview will be scheduled around the end of each month and beginning of month. People with earlier priority dates get earlier interviews. Sometimes, there is a second scheduling round, but last month there wasn't any. Last time interviews were scheduled, India was among the last ones to schedule interviews. I got interview scheduled on October 3. If anyone from India reports getting an interview date here, you can call or call everyday starting Monday until you have an interview date or the scheduling is over; it's up to you. The interview date is not available on CEAC and you will get an email, P4, usually within a week.

Oh Austin you are right. I arrived at NVC 1st April and left there on 30th October. Seven months - just feels like eight!!!!

I will feel much better once we have an interview date.

Welcome aboard msc, so happy to see you here. I pray they give you the earliest available date. Looks like you got case complete around 60 days since your IV checklist was scanned in. NVC just played a prank with you when they told you about the change in last scan date. Edited by dilmera
