Had my interview this morning, and the hardest part was the wait. I will post a review when I get back to Winnipeg. I'm about to board a plane so I'm on my tablet. I will also come back to this thread with more details later.

Just so dang happy to be done (for now, lol)!

Congratulations!

I have a question for you. I have my interview next week and there is one thing I'm not sure about. When I picked the date for my interview, I paid some fees (around 300ish canadian dollars). On the list of things to bring for the interview there is the 265US$ in cash. Is that another fee I need to cover or is it the same thing I already paid when I scheduled my interview?

Outside of the cost of your medical, you're good.

Hi JolyDan

My visa was CR1 so I am not sure about that fee. All my fees were paid. If I were you, I would have the money on hand just to be safe. I am thinking that you have already paid your fee, but if you can't find an absolute answer to your question, have the money on hand, just in case. :)
