Does anyone know of the consulate is closed around Christmas ? That seems to be around my 6 month mark post DQ wondering if they might be processing visas then?

I think this was asked recently, but for B.C. people, is there anyway to get records of MMR and Varicella (Chicken Pox)? The BC digital portal for health care only goes back ~25 years.

For chicken pox if you or a parent knows you had them as a child they will take your word for it. Also if you have an old yellow shots record book that works too for the MMR. YOu can also go get a titers test done to show the antibodies.

Anyone alive out there ?? This wait is excruciating for me .. 

I had a meltdown today - if they continue with only processing half a month I am a long way out …. Can one part of this please go faster .

[randnev 3]

My process is taking so long, I had to get a new criminal record check because I think it will expire before my interview date.

I already had to get two …. It’s a punch every time we need to get these due to their inefficiency and  backlog ….

I Have duel uk  citizenship and reached out to ask our attorney of I could change to UK as Montreal now looks about 8-9 months for interviews ( uk is less than 3 months  DQ- interview ) he said it will take too long…: given all their mess so caused us an extra month I am nit sure I trust his assessment …

You just only need to get a new one for your current country of residence. The PCC from previous country you lived in is valid for infinite time unless you go back to that country again before your interview.

It’s a little more complex than that for me

i am duel with UK and now thinking to change 

my interview to London because they are 3x a faster then MTL

(3 months verses 10)

but I don’t think I need a crim check there but. Would need a medical (timeline might be harder …) trying to balance work ( because I need my job  and have no idea for how long ) and I have other commitments 

I hate the lack of predictability in this process / being more transparent would help on many levels

March 13th I think.
