Not trying but just may set a record

Ever heard of a medical REF, I got one from the doc here.

My medical examination is not yet completed; it started on June 7th and should end in mid or near the end of July.

Honesty is the best policy and my honesty in my replies to the questionaire questions at the doc's office is costing me time since further information and testing is now required for past ailments. My next appointment is with my famly doc on July 9th to see what needs to be done to make me look good and acceptable in the eyes of the consulate. at this moment as per the immigration doc I am on the road to a denial. My next appointment is 32 days after the original appointment and that is just the start depending on the tests required and how long it will take to get the results back.

This whole process is starting to feel like I'm applying for a top secret or higher security classification, I hope the medical doesn't take as long as the RCMP certification did.

The good thing is that I have yet to get a interview date, which I may get in the next 3 maybe 4 months.

Even though stressed we Sharon and I are not yet ready to be medicated

If you read the above and it makes you worried about your own medical DON'T, chances that your doc is anything like mine are slim and your situation is simmular to mine may be even slimmer.

Andre has sickle cell anemia. We were honest in the paperwork and at the medical. We had no issues or further testing required.

Thank you Lynette, but everything happens for a reason and this I brought on to myself half a lifetime (mine) ago. As you know had I been a good boy way back when we would both be at Montreal just about on the same day, but this is part of the payback that is due. We aren't expecting the interview for a few months yet so we are still hanging in there with everyone else and looking for a break in the clouds over Montreal. I am glad that everything is working out for you and all of you will be a family very soon

Jomo's girl thank you also, my problems were mental and alcohol related. Problem 1 has not been an issue for more than 36 years and problem 2 not an issue for over 22 years, which surprised me to be issues at all.

Thank you also Emancipation, I think the doc missed the timeframe about the past problems, even so I will do whatever they ask to get everything cleared up and back on track, we have plenty of time left to get everything done.

Well Tinker for some reason I just love the name you chose, every time I read it I have to smile; thanks for writing. We went through the first part of the process much quicker than we thought we would so in our minds we are just about in our expected timeframe. Honesty pays and sometimes like for us right now it costs a price we are willing to pay.
