Someone said that you can just get vaccines at the medical exam. I just want to point out that Dr. Mascarenhas does not do this. It's indicated right on their website. www.visadoctor.ca. Just wanted to give you a heads up in case that was your plan.

The one that always gets me is the cheque vs. bill. When you receive a cheque, it's usually money that is given to you. When you receive a bill, it's something that you have to pay (phone, utility, etc.). So the very fact that Americans ask for the cheque at a restaurants makes NO sense. Oh, and they spell it "check". Don't get me started on the imperial/metric. I mean, I love America, but goddamn, why you gotta be so weird!

We're in the same boat! Keepin' our eyes peeled for dates...

1) yes just you. This is your visa picture, make it accurate.
4) best to have both just in case
5) yes means any previous marriages
6) yes you will need the original divorce decree for the petitioner
8) beneficiary only
9) you only need this if you've been
10) see above
11)yes just petitioner
12) that works
13) a photocopy should work. Also driver's license.

I'm still waiting on the P3 from Vancouver, and they emailed me back and said it was sent to my fiance in Calgary on March 26th. I know the mail up there can be slow at times, but it seems like 2 weeks of "being in the mail" would mean it was in his hands by now. I've emailed them to let them know he still hasn't received it, but no response. Good luck. I know how frustrating it is when you finally get to this point and have to wait AGAIN!

Every time someone says they got an approval, I have this giant hope and immediately check my status to only be disappointed. Having hope and being shut down on a daily basis is emotionally draining :/
Congrats to all the people who are approved though!

I'm feeling pretty miserable today about this whole situation. I had hope when a few people mentioned that the case status website wasn't being updated but that they found NOA2 in the mail. Well, wasn't in my boyfriend's mail. Then someone else got approved, but is canceling their petition - that sucked to think about as the time TSC spent on that application could've been spent on me or someone else's application. Pretty much a whole new level of feeling defeated. I'm sure I'm not alone in this. Sorry to bring the mood down, just not sure where else to express my feelings who understand the situation.

I keep seeing random August petitions approved and while I'm happy for them, I'm all, "WHY NOT MEEEEEE!". Maybe I should've covered my application in glitter. That random person whose job is just to pick a random one would choose the pretty, shiny one!

Well, the only problem is that the ones getting accepted are just applications from the Phillipines. As happy as I am for them, I honestly don't rely on their acceptances to give me an idea of when us regular folks will be receiving our NOA2s. They get expedited no matter what. So are we getting accepted? Not really...
