Anyone that received 2 biometric appointments but no cancelation mail because of the corona virus? 
My first appointment was scheduled for March 25 and I just didn’t attend it (hope I did the right thing) and my second one is scheduled for next Monday. Still no cancellation mail

This is my situation. First appointment for March 23rd, second appointment today. I did notice that the appointments were for different forms (I485 and I131 respectively..). But I've not received a cancellation notice for either, and obviously have not attended and don't plan to attend the one today. I unfortunately don't have an online account or anything to track this, and the lack of communication is very stressful.

Hey guys, 

 

i just checked the Ceac website and it says “issued”. How long should I expect to receive it by? I check the ais website and it still says appointment. Any help is appreciated! Thank you and congrats to everyone

Canada Post seems to be having some delays - Mine shipped out on the 4th and was expected in Ottawa by the 5th, but didn't come in until yesterday (the 9th).

Either way, shouldn't be too long

Approved!

8:30 appointment, out by about 10.

Security was very anxiety inducing, and the lady who reviewed my documents seemed a bit cranky, but the interview officer was very nice and set me at ease! I WAY over prepared. Half the documentation I brought wasn't needed, and they didn't ask for any evidence of relationship or anything!

Ahhhh

Right?! Now I am debating: do I pic the records up at 7am sharp on Weds to make my 730am appt. (medisys is only about 8 min walk from consulate office) or do I go downtown twice (much dread). 
 

If you happen to see me there come say Hi! My name is Stacey and I’ll have 2 kids in tow. 
 

wishing you a smooth interview! 

If it helps, the lady at the Medysis desk told me I could show up as early as 6:45 to pick them up. My appointment isn't until 8:30, so personally I'll be hopping in at 7, then going back to my hotel to leave all my things before the interview.

Had my medical done on Thursday Nov 21. Easy process. Staff at the clinic were so super friendly and helpful! 
 

Was surprised to see an email from them on Friday morning advising me that my results were available for pick up. Was under the impression that they took a week. 
 

My upcoming interview is on Wednesday - sooooo nervous. Hoping I have my visa in hand shortly thereafter. 
 

cheers. 

I had my medical on thursday, and also got my email friday morning! Interview on Wednesday too!! I was also surprised at how quickly I got the email - glad to hear I'm not the only one.

I had my medical yesterday in Montreal for my upcoming Interview, and it was very close to being a total disaster. I had printed the wrong email for "packet 4", and could not figure out which one they were looking for. I had printed the most recent email I had, which contained a link to the packet 4 pdf instructions, alongside printed confirmation of my appointment from the appointment scheduling service.

There was an additional email sent to me a couple days before that one which was the one they actually needed, but the lady at the desk kept implying that the email should have been more recent than the one I was showing her, which is why it took me so long to locate it.

They were very helpful and sympathetic about it, and emailed the consulate to see if they could get confirmation another way. Luckily, once I found it, I was able to email it to her on the spot and she was able to print it and get my through the medical even though I had by this time missed my original appointment.

At this point I'm now totally freaking out that I'm going to drop the ball next week for the interview.. I'm very detail oriented, and I was totally convinced and triple checked that I had exactly what I needed for the medical, and this still happened. I'm very nervous that I've done the same somewhere else. I'll be spending all weekend going through all my instructions and documents with a fine toothed comb.. 😰
