EZ way for husband to transfer cash to me?

[Married_my_love 0]

I have to go for my medical tomorrow (for the canadian immigration) and I wasn't expecting to have to pay cash. It is $200 and I also spent $50 today on the 9 passport photos I needed. Plus the $ I spent on fingerprints over the weekend. Yikes. I didn't plan for this and now I'm tapped until pay day!!

He banks with Bank of Montreal. Is there anything I can do online to transfer funds, or if anyone has a suggestion. Western Union? We've never had to dabble with transferring funds to/fro.

i'm embarrassed that I'm living this close to the edge.

My hubby always sent money to me with Western Union.... you can get the money really quickly that way.... you do have to pay for the service of course... I can't remember how much it was though

western union is 15.00 under 100.00 then the fee goes up...i sent my wife a debit card then she could access my account when she needed things much better then paying western union

We use Paypal to send money back & forth if it has to be quick.

Walmart will transfer money too.

You can have it within 5 mins.

I think its $9 to transfer it.

does BMO have the interac email money transfer? not sure how the receiving end works, but i've sent money to my sister (same as tossing out the window on the 401 i'm afraid) and it's immediate.

Do not get the immigration physical done until you have your police certificates in hand... Cancel that appointment now...

It appears that I am too late... Sigh.. Oh well... you now run the risk that your medical will be out of date by the time your visa application gets reviewed and you'll have to do it all over again with the wait for it to be reviewed by the doctors in Mississauga. It could add another 3 or 6 months to the time it will take to get your visa.

You now need to get you other paperwork that you need in order stat. Go and send your fingerprints for the FBI and State Police Certificates. Have your husband get all his sponsorship paperwork in order now (Option C Printout from CRA, Employer Letter, etc.) because the 1 year clock is now ticking for you...

We've done all that you listed, and have also requested FBI expedite, which recently they've been doing in 3 weeks if requested (sent self-addr priority return envelope with it)

Did the Live Scan for Dept of State report, and his and my paperwork are complete. Just got a call today from the Ombudsman who was able to wrangle our marriage certificate out of the hands of Thunder Bay and it is in the mail on the way to my husband.

Hopefully I didn't screw everything up by taking my medical.

your medical is good for up to 6 months, I think..... so you should be ok

It's good for a year... but unlike the USCIS where they still consider it valid if it has been more than year since the exam but the application is still in process.. for the CIC, if your visa isn't approved by the expiration date of the exam, you have to do a new one and wait for the time to get it reviewed by their doctors. To make it worse, the visa expires the same day as the medical. So you actually have to land in Married case by March 13, 2007.

Basically, she may just have wasted about a month that she may have needed. It may come to be that in her case, everything will be done in time... but it would suck if that month or so makes a difference...

Your state police certificate from California must come from the California Dept of Justice.

Yeah, I kinda lucked out on that one, I had already written to DOJ to get the form for my husband back when I thought he needed it because he had stayed in california for a little over 6 months. So I had the blank in my hands and popped in to do that.

I have a Q Zyg, hypothetically if let's say, we're at 10 months (god forbid) and I've only got 2 months left for the med to be valid, could I at that time go and get another done, for the sake of getting it rolling so as not to add extra time at the end?
