We (family of 4) have our interviews scheduled later this week. We got medicals sent confirmation emails for 3 of us (Telus Health, Montreal). My 2 yr old had her second dose covid vaccine 10 days back (8 week gap between doses in Ontario), I sent supporting documentation to Telus Health right away. Looks like the doctor went on leave/vacation and now they can't send her medicals to consulate with out Doctor's approval until May 2nd. I spoke with nurse who did all the paperwork and was told that we 3 with confirmation emails would get our immigrant visas but they will hold my daughter's until they receive the paperwork some time May 1st week.

Any body in this forum went through this? I don't recommend Telus health clinic in Montreal, late March when we went in for medical checkups it took the whole day, went in 9:30am, got out 5:30pm. The nurse gave us wrong email address to send supporting documentation, it seems they didn't check faxed copies. Overall very disappointed.

We completed our interview last Thursday, ceac status showing 3 visas issued and our 2 year old visa pending waiting on Medicals to be received from Telus Sante. We will have to probably wait 10 more days. I opted for local pickup option instead of home delivery, no notifications, tracking numbers received yet.

HI,

 

I am new here. It is very nice to see everyone is so supportive here. 

 

I am DQ in Dec 2021 but I am still waiting for the IL. I am under EB2. 

 

I would like to ask if anyone is on the same boat as I do. I donot know whether I will get an IL soon. Otherwise, I would like to make a travel plan.

Does anybody have any idea of what the chances are for being put on the Administrative Processing after the interview if the principal applicant or their spouse is born in Middle East countries but they both are Canadian citizen?

I would like to ask everyone who passed the interview, does the hospital's birth certificate require issue time?  My current birth certificate was issued in 2019, so will there be any problems in the interview?  Will I be required to re-provide the new birth certificate issued by the hospital , thank you very much!

I think it depends on the country. I know that French birth certificates are valid only for 3 months, so we had to request it again. But my country birth certificate is alway current. You should probably e-mail the consulate or NVC. Or check the requirements for the official documents on CEAC website by country.

Apart from police clearance and employment letter for EB applications none of the documents should require a date validity check. All that you submitted to NVC as a copy now needed to be presented in original. That is my opinion though. In my case my spouse and born were born outside canada and we do have original birth certificate and marriage certificates but there is no way for us to get a latest copy from the relevant authorities. We have no ties to that country and no one to help us getting them too.

You definitely should be good. It’s just some countries like France, don’t give you an official birth certificate the day you are born. You have to order it through the Marie and they just mail the paper with their stamp..and apparently, it has the expiration date of 3 months. That’s why we got the new one, just in case. I’m sure your original birth certificates are good.

@ACC24  - Did the site that you registered your interview at ever change from this:

 

CEAC was updated again today.  Still showing "Issued".  Of course I am anxious as we are hoping to leave in 13 days.

If I remember it correct, once the passport is dispatched this will get updated with the tracking info along with email notification. Did you receive your tracking info yet on email?

[sjy 14]

I just got email notifications with status showing "Ready for pickup".

Email says: 

Your documents are at:
xxx xxxx Road
Unit xxx
xxxxx, ON, xxxx

@3LabMom: In our case, if I remember correctly. I think that status never changed. There was tracking number provided somewhere on the page itself which I had figured out later.

No e-mail yet.  CEAC still says issued and other site is showing "appointment" still.  I hope it isn't too much longer.
