Hey - Medysis is not open on Mondays.  My medical was Tuesday, January 5th, and was mailed to the consulate Wednesday January 13th.  My interview was on Monday Jan 11th, so obviously did not make it to the consulate in time.

 

 

Hope this is helpful.

Are you sure? I called today and they said they only schedule immigration medicals Mondays thru Wednesdays. 

 

Also, do you know if the reason you went into AP for your Visa was because they got your medical results late? It seems very unfortunate for you that it only took them 2 days extra to get the medical results but it delayed you about 15 days?

I’m one of the lucky who received the letter today, interview date March 12. My passport expires 3 months after the interview and I just learned it has to be 6 months. I’ve been holding of since all my green card submissions have to old passport, and since I’m not from Canada I can have it done easily, I’m not sure the local embassy can have my new one done in time.

 

Has anyone else had experience with this and what did you do?

If you want to avoid any issues you can order a new passport online and pay for expedite service, you'll have it in a week.

Thankyou for that. Thankfully mine will just be valid. Also does anyone have info on whether they have to have vaccinations up to date before the medical or can that all be caught up at the appointment.

Hey all, me again.  My husband just pointed this out to me  under Who Must Attend the Interview on the NVC website:  "You, your spouse, and any qualified unmarried children immigrating with you, must participate in the interview. All traveling applicants required to participate will be named on the interview Appointment Letter you receive from the National Visa Center (NVC)."   

 

My kids (5 and 3) were named on my nvc document received today.  The issue is that they are American Citizens and will not be immigrating with me because they're already legit here.  Do I need to bring them too?  I can just imagine waiting and answering questions with a 5 and 3 year old running (yes they're noisy joyful runners) around.  Someone, please help me.

No. It refers to people in the family unit immigrating together... ie, not your kids.

Go ahead and email the consulate for clarification!

I can only hope to be this lucky but I doubt it.  Interview was Jan 20.  I had to upload my new police certificate to CEAC the day after the interview.  Hopefully it doesn’t take them too long to get the processing done.  

Any word yet? Also, it'd be helpful for you to complete your timeline...

Visa in hand now.  Will likely do POE in Detroit in 3 weeks time.

You don't need to bring them because they don’t come under qualified unmarried Immigrants.

Congratulations to all who got Interview letters.

Feb has started with a bang.

MTL has up their game. 

Best of luck!

What a surprise! 

Actually we need this type of craziness.

Hi everyone! I just wanted to provide an update. I had to cancel my interview on February 22 because I have an important medical procedure that cannot be rescheduled. The consulate said they will cancel this interview date and for me to email them when I am ready. Then they will try their best to accommodate during that time. I'll keep the group posted on the rescheduling process!

That's exactly what I did when I requested a new one last month as my previous one had expired, and the RCMP office had no issue with understanding or ensuring I would receive one with subtype "other". Also, you may find that some offices still use the old name for the overall application type (e.g. Privacy Act vs the new name: Criminal Record Check for Personal Use), but you can be assured that your certificate will state the new application name type when it's delivered to you. Good luck!

I just finished up -  it will have ‘OTHER’ and he added the repository holding message.    He thinks I’ll have it before I leave - COME ON CANADA POST.   🤞🏻
