We live in the interior of BC and there is only one doctor for BC in Vancouver. But it is actually quicker and easier to get to Calgary to the approved Doctor there. I was just hoping they would allow a choice between "approved" doctors and not force us to go to Vancouver just because we live in BC.

On another note, all our documents are ready, but is there anything else in the letter (like the medical exam) that may be time sensitive when I finally get my late arriving letter?

Thanks for the info.

I think you should go with the Vancouver doctor -- although another good thing to do is phone the Calgary doc and ask his office manager if this is possible. I recall you had to go where you live, but don't just take my word for it.-

If you have all your documents (I-864, tax transcripts, birth certificates, marriage and previous marriage/divorce certificates, passport pictures, proof of bona fide marriage, etc.) you should be okies. Time sensitive is only the police certificate (valid for 1 year). Make sure to have copies of your originals!

and my friend, if you don't get your letter, don't panic. you can email them and ask for an email confirmation. Some folks just show up on the date they were told and nothing else. So no worries.

Peace, L.

I belive u can goto any dr in canada. Your paying for it out of pocket, so its not as if Provincial health care is covering any of it! I do recall people from sask. going to Alberta!!

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
