That's sounds great that they let you in to accompany your spouse. Hopefully you will get the answer from them soon.

My case is about to complete, Do you think it will be a great idea if i join my wife there and wait for the passport and bring her here with me? i will take off from work for about 20 days.

and i live in Islamabad, i can go and pick up the passport from Islamabad.

If you have the flexibility from work I would highly recommend that you attend with your wife. No guarantees on how long it takes to get her passport as I learned the hard way. I might call the embassy tomorrow to see if I can follow up, given the info I've read now in this thread.

Do we need to wait for the CC letter to make an appointment for our medical? I will be in Canada on Sunday and we were debating on making the appointment sooner rather than later?

Also can my fellow Canadians/spouses confirm this, there are NO doctors near Ottawa that can perform the exam? How insane! The capital doesn't have such a place? Looks like we will be driving to Montreal! *sigh*

Nope, my husband actually lives in that area and he just made his medical appointment..in Montreal. They said he can pick everything up the morning before his interview to take with him to the embassy so he doesn't have to make two trips back. I would definitely wait for your interview letter to make an appointment.

P.S. His medical is scheduled for March 17, St. Patty's day lucky day! :)

I just had mine done there, I don't think you'll have any issues with appointments. They were pretty flexible for me, and I was able to request what date I wanted.
