Medical + Police Cert + Attending Interview

[BatmanFlow 481]

Hi All,

 

My parents finally got their interview in montreal for Oct 4 and i really dont want to reschedule this. They are currently visiting me in USA so i would need to schedule a flight back for them ASAP, but i had a few questions.

 

kinda in a panic here and was hoping for clarification. two questions

• Police cert: I read on the travel state site that the police cert is valid for two years now. is this true? I checked the Montreal checklist and it said 12 months. Would you you know if its 12 months or 24 months?
• Medical: Since the interview is so soon and i have to send them back to Canada asap, if they schedule their medical appointment and get it done before attending the interview, and the consulate do not get the medical packet before they attend the interview, is that ok? I assume they wont get approved but as long as they can attend the interview and the medical results can come after, I am ok with it.

 

thank you!

Canadian PRC are now good for 2 years.  This is correct. 

 

If they attend their medical and the results are not at the consulate at time of interview, they will be put into administrative processing until the consulate received their medical results. If everything is good, the visas will then be issued and their passports returned.  I would take that interview slot, knowing AP is likely.  It's much easier to have the results show up later than to attempt to reschedule an interview.
