Please help me...

Hi Schmelle,

I have never read a review where anyone had to produce the x-ray - they said to my Husband, "just give me the medical without the x-ray".

I did read one review where the CO told the interviewee that he could tell everyone that it's not needed - anyway, I wouldn't worry about it

I mean I can call the hospital in Newfoundland and have them courier the copy to the consulate or even the hotel in montreal so it could potentially be there by tomorrow afternoon if i got it tomorrow morning. Do you think I should be crying my eyes out right now....i can't believe i messed this up.

Don't worry about it, Schmelle. You won't need it. But I'm thinking..... is the envelope they delivered to you a huge one or a regular 11x14 (or whatever) size? In any event, if they really need it at the interview (which they won't) they'll ask you to send it to them. You'll be fine.

the envelope i have is a sealed 8x11. i just spoke to the doctors office in newfoundland and she said that the results of the xray is on my medical (in the sealed envelope) but of course the xray itself is not. i did not get a copy of my xray when i had it done...i guess i'm just an idiot. i can try and get my family to go to the hospital tomorrow and get a copy and courier it to me in montreal. i mean the secretary at the doctors office was like "you must have it" thye wont approve your visa without it!!! i dont know if she's on crack or what ....

I brought the xray with me to Montreal but I left it in my hotel room... I was never asked for it....

Same here.... left it on a chair in the airport....

She's on crack. Yes, the results of the x-ray are in the sealed envelope. They only take a look at the x-ray if there's a problem with your medical results. Don't go to the trouble of getting it couriered. They won't ask you for it. And even if they do, you have the option of providing anything missing as a follow-up to your interview. It's not something to stress over. Besides.... who wants to be carrying that big huge thing around with you, anyway? Think of it as a gift.

You do NOT need to take the X-ray with you to the interview.

Don't worry about it at all.

ok...first of all i have to say that without all of you i would have jumped off something by now!!! this process is crazy!!! i have never met any of you but i feel that we are all connected and i appreciate you all so much. i am going to call the hospital in the morning, have them copy the xray, have my brother pick it up and bring it to montreal with him on saturday. if they need it, i will have it to bring to them on monday when the consolate opens. i dont go back to toronto until 945am on monday and it's a train ticket which is totally changeable if need be.

i am going to pack my suitcase and have a gin right NOW!!!

Okey dokey then.

Have a glass of wine or some beer! It will be ok! No x ray was ever asked even though I brought that darn thing all the way with us through the snow!
