Thru more VJ searches.....many say if one Or whom ever does it, is fluent in both languages u can translate it urself and add this statement http://www.visajourney.com/content/translations   The consulate staff prob know enough French that its not an issue.  As well there will be local hires (Canadians from Montreal) that can easily verify the BC.  

Thanks for researching that! I can definitely translate it myself and will fill out & sign the statement.

Hey guys! Long time creeper here. This site has helped so much, just settling my nerves alone so I figure it’s my duty to pass on my experience to people going through the same process! Just a little

Okay guys, CEAC saying ready merely means that the consulate has your file. With IR1/CR1 it means we can sign up for courier services and start booking medicals because the interview is set by the NVC

worse case condition...u find a certified translator in Montreal and dash back.....burn a few more calories and enjoy that poutine!!  When we resided in Ecuador they had a Poutine place.....owners were from Quebec I believe.  It was ok, but not as good as Mtl.

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

Haha, my friend is in Ecuador right now and she said the same thing: there is a Poutine place, good but not as good as Canada.

My friend also lived in Nicaragua for a time, just north of Matagalpa in a tiny town.  She prefers Quito.  She liked Costa Rica and Uruguay better than Nicaragua also.  Guess it all just depends on the area and circumstances.

yep....Nicaragua is the 2nd poorest country in the W. Hemisphere, so not so pretty on the eyes at times......We loved the beaches...hours drive from Managua.....miles of beaches and would be just us and our 2 dogs......1 which we brought back with us...Sure CR was prettier, but more $$$$,lol  Don't miss the hot weather though.

Great, I was approved! My experience was pretty much the exact same as OP's, same questions too. I think the same lady does all the interviews. She's very sweet and not intimidating at all.

Hey everyone, we're waiting for our status to change to ready. I'm just wondering if most of you received the packets from the consulate via email or post? Hoping for email!
