Have interviews ever been sent out this late in the day ?

I just have this bad feeling that they’e skipping October like the time they skipped June

I think because there are more visa categories that are being interviewed, the day they send out IL is more unpredictable. Earlier this year, it seemed like they sent them on Friday frequently. Last month it was on Wednesday, and in June they sent it on Monday. Not all hope is lost (yet 😂)

I think June was a particular case because of the new guidance that was sent federally at the time about the tier system. I feel like they were busy re-organizing which was what caused the delay. There is no reason to assume this month will be like that one (other than the anxiety we all have right now for obvious reasons that makes us fear this possibility) when they often send out the interview letters on Mondays (November 2020 was the 3rd Monday, January 2021 was the 3rd Monday, and June 2021 was the 2nd Monday of the month). From what I have seen while tracking this for almost 1 year, they send the letters up to 2 weeks before the 1st of the next month, so I think we have until the 3rd Monday of September (the 20th) before worring about no letters this month:)

 

So moral of the story- there's still time and don't give up hope

We still have all next week for IL day. What we got going for us is 2 active members who are deff getting letters this month. If they don’t get one we know for a fact Montreal didn’t do any interviews just like June.

I completely agree. I am very confident we will be seeing interview letters next week.

So in preparation for the medicals, I did titre (I do not have any immunisation records). My family doctor says my titre show I do not have immunisation for:

1. Hepatitis B

2. Varicella

 

I would also need to get a TDAP as I know I haven't gotten one in the last 10 years.

 

My question is - do I need Hepatitis B and varicella to pass the medicals?

All depends on age. If u go to the drs website they all have the chart to show what you need  on that note I should double check it my self

Thanks. I just looked this up for the Dr Lyndon Mascarenhas in Toronto and looks like Hepatitis B is not required. Varicella, if one has had chicken pox before is not required. I have heard that the doctor in BC accepts verbal confirmation that one has had chicken pox before. Has any one had experience at Dr Mascarenhas; do they accept verbal confirmation as well?

I think Hep B is not required as per DRS. However, I'm still getting mine done. It has 3 shots that you get in a span of 6 months. I got 2 done so far and the final on is due next month.

Thank you I was leaning towards doing it anyway as well. 
 

Is it covered by OHIP by any chance. I am thinking it wouldn’t be for an adult.

I don’t think it is. My dr office has a fee chart for it.

its not covered by OHIP. One shot was around 40 I think. I had my company insurance so I paid around $15 for one shot.
