I'm currently waiting for an interview date from Montreal Consulate. What I read in the forum is that you require updated vaccination records before going to the medical exam. 

I immigrated to Canada in 2016 from Sri Lanka, but I do not have any old vaccination records from Sri Lanka  and it is impossible to contact family doctor to get any records.

Do I have to get all the vaccines required by the consulate prior to my medical or is there any test I could do to find out if I had already received this vaccine when I was a kid?

 

 

You can either contact your old doctor and ask them to send you proof of the vaccines or you can go to your new doctor in Canada or a walk in clinic and ask for blood work that shows if you have immunity or not. Then bring that blood work to your medical. If the blood work shows that you need some vaccines, you can get them done before your medical and bring the proof that you did so when you go.

Hello everyone!  Just wanted to give a quick update.  We crossed 10 days ago.  Activating the visa was easy, took maybe 30 min in total.  The only issue we had was importing one of the vehicles.  The vehicle was manufactured in Mexico, but we bought in Canada (had no idea!).  The officer wanted to charge us to import it.  After a very long and drawn out conversation, we decided to wait and do it once we arrived in Arizona.  Spoke to CBP here, brought it to their location and imported it without any fees.  We have found a house and are hoping to be all settled in by early July.  Now we wait for the green card and SS cards to arrive.  Hope the process moves along for everyone sooner rather than later.

Hello everyone, 

I have mailed my documents to NVC a few days ago with all the required civil documents. However I received an email today that they are missing some items without listing what is missing. I wonder if anyone had similar experience and who to contact to get more details of what is missing. Here is the email:

****NVC Notice of Missing Item: Please submit civil documents ****

@ghp2019 Yes, I received such a misleading scary email as well but after few days I got the email that they now received all the documents and my file is Documentarily Qualified. Looks like they haven't fixed their system even after 2 years.

If there is an attorney of record they send the confirmation to the petitioner and attorney. That is what happened in my case. However then I called up NVC because the phone lines were still active and they gave me the information. When I checked with attorney they gave me some excuse that we were busy and we had this in queue bill #######. The attorney was informed 15 days prior in my case before I called NVC

It seems nobody has received any interview letters since March in any category spreadsheets, is that actually correct? I really hoped they would make more progress through this backlog by now. I remember one of the other groups cleared 13 months in one month when they were the priority. I'm so shocked they still haven't seemed to prioritize EB visas.....

What do you think to transfer case to another embassy is good idea ?
