I was just browsing the new VJ Wiki and I have started a Canada page here: http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/Canada

I just put a bit of text in there to get started, not even sure if I got the region cutoffs right, but someone let me know if I didn't :)

Anyway, I just thought this would be a good opportunity to get our Canada information in one place so wanted to let you all know it is there.

If you aren't comfortable editing the Wiki or just don't want to attempt it, but you have information to add, you can let me know and I will help/add it for you (if you already have it typed out haha).

Plus maybe we can discuss in this thread suggestions of what should be there etc etc

I'll only talk about what I know about Police checks- if you get it from the RCMP. there is a difference between "Criminal Record Check" and"Canadian Police Certificate" I have both- I brought both to the Vancouver Consulate- the Canadian Police Certificate was the one he accepted. The girl sitting next to me only had the criminal record check and she was told she would have to go and get the police certificate.

Good info, I'll add a note to that effect.

Doesn't Manitoba and westward go to the Vancouver consulate? It currently says that Manitoba and eastward go to Montreal, but I'm not 100% sure which way is correct.

Dont matter!! This Sunday (Grey Cup) Sask is going to wipe out Manitoba!!

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

Vancouver consulate has the jurisdiction of Manitoba and westward. I only know this because one of my good buddies (who I met thru VJ, yeaaaa) was from Northern Manitoba and got that consulate as a result. :)

Nini - Vancouver BC, Canada (she's the one who does the forum thing)

Bee - Devon PA, USA (he's the one who gave her the shiny ring)

Getting our sanity tested by bureaucracy since 2007.

You will probably get more answers on this if you start a new topic but anyhoo, there are requirements and there is a valuable link to the requisites, unfortunately I don't know what it is :)

Anyway here are a few links for this topic in the Canada forum:
