Completed my interview on the morning of January 7th. Received my tracking e-mail at 8:53AM this morning. Tracking number hasn't updated, but I imagine I'll receive the passport back by the end of the week.

Hello Everyone, 

 

just a quick question, Is it allowed if someone just crosses the border to the US to activate a Visa and return through the next exit? Will the covid test also be active for same day return to Canada without making any contacts in the US. What about quarantine @From_CAN_2_US, @Danii, @Tony Nikolovski Do the border people have any idea? 
thanks

Hello!

Sorry for not sharing my experience earlier. To be honest I was waiting to receive my passport with the visa first.
My interview was on Friday morning, it went smoothly and the CO told me that he intends to approve my visa. (I will believe it once I will see the visa) 
The whole process was similar to everyone else. I was there early which is useless, the security guard came out and reorganize the line by interview time so the people that had their interviews scheduled  before mine were moved ahead of me. 
Once I got in, I went through the security check and was directed to go the 2nd floor and waited for my number to be called. After 5 min I was called to give my documents. The CO asked for my passport, one photo ID, marriage certificate, birth certificates (mine and my husband’s!!). I did upload my husband’s BC at the NVC level, I guess that is why they asked for the original. I also provided my police certificates (I lived in 4 different countries) and my new I-864EZ + husband’s 2020 W2 and 2020 tax return that I had uploaded a couple of weeks ago. My husband changed job in 2021 so I also provided a letter of employment + last 3 months pay stubs. 
This process took 15 min at least, the CO was really nice and friendly while checking my documents. 
Then sat for 30 min before being called for the interview. I was really worried about AP because I’m a Canadian PR + I’m from the Mena region + I travelled a lot.
But the CO that conducted the interview was really nice, it really felt like a friendly conversation. He started by asking how I met my husband, then questions related to my husband’s job and my job, countries i lived in and visited, where I intend to live…I was a F1 student , so he also asked about my time as a student in the US.
Then, he told me that I did well and that he intends to approve my visa. He said it would take 2 to 3 weeks to have my passport back.  
My status is still Issued AP, I will keep you posted.

Hi 👋

Nothing to share 😆

Well I do have something to share!!! Dr Lyndon in Toronto gave me a sealed envelope in case my medical didn’t arrive on time, and it didn’t. He said Public Health its focusing on covid tests and leaving lifelabs bloodwork until last. 
 I just arrived to Montreal, boy it’s chilly!! I read  on priceline that the Best Western close to the Consulate was being used as an homeless shelter and someone woke up with bedbugs bites. Considering that, I booked the holiday inn but jeeez 12 minutes walking from the train station seemed like a piece of cake but it felt like an eternity at -29C  even with a parka 😂 

My appointment its tomorrow. I must say @ifh just made me nervous! I have an i-864 from April 2021, and my husband changed jobs just in October😅. Nothing I can do,  he is at work on rig, no way I can update it now.

His income hasnt changed… Holiday inn doesnt have a business center and I wont be emailing this kind of paperwork to print it even if I had it in time.  I have his new job contract, and proof of  insurance, 2020 tax trascript plus 3 other years, I seriously doubt it will come up unless I bring it up.
I could print some paystubs to be on the safe side but again, I don’t want to send it to the hotel desk.  Whats done its done I guess…

I was more worried about the proof of domicile, since he stays with me in Ontario and works in the US. Thats why I brought the car insurance, health insurance bill and I guess I could upload some paystubs to Ceac but then again I think that would open a pandora box of questions regarding his job.

Do I make any sense?

Anyway,  wish me luck 🍀

Don’t worry about the I-864EZ, I uploaded a new one because the last one dated from Feb 2020. I think you should be fine with his job contract. The CO just asked for a proof of employment for the new job. Good luck!!

@Ilovecancun29 Never mind. I track back comments and found your post about your interview date and time. So, Your's is 9:00 am, it will be snowing. It's crazy freezing this day. My first time to experience -24C and my hand getting numb.

 

Good luck to all having their interviews tomorrow and the rest of the week.

Yeah, I wouldn’t bring up the change of job, unless it is asked… no need to complicate anything…

 

Good luck for tomorrow. You seem well prepared, so I’m sure you will do well.

 

and jeez… bedbugs?!! I stayed at the Best Western Ville-Marie. Is it that Best Western or the other one that has bed bugs. Hope I didn’t bring back any stowaways…
