Hi, I believe you cannot schedule your medicals unless you receive the interview letter. The doctors office will specifically ask for it. Currently Montreal is scheduling interviews 1.5 to 2 months after you are DQed by NVC.

I had the medical on April 18th and heard back in 8 days

Yes, also they will email you the medical and vaccination sheet

This is what I got after my visa was approved. It should answer some of your questions.

It is just a step before they mail you the passport. It shows the same for me.

Visa approved. Thank you everyone in this community for the support. PD: Nov 17th 2020 DQ: June 2nd 2021 Interview Letter : April 12th 2022 Interview: May 4th 2022 at 7.45 AM I had uploaded Relationship Photos, 2021 Tax return & W2, Travel proofs, Joint Financial assets records, Chat & call records to the CEAC portal before the interview. I was let in at around 8.15 AM. There was a small locker to store your mobile phone. After the security check I went to the first floor Counter no. 6 where they checked my name against a list and gave me two tokens. Then I waited for around 15mins. I was called to Counter 10 where I was asked for Original birth certificate, Marriage certificate, PCC and Passport Size photo. :Later she asked for 2021 tax returns but when she noticed I had already uploaded them, she returned it. She also took my fingerprints and asked my current status in Canada. I moved my case from Mumbai to Montreal so I guess that's why she asked for proof of current residence. Luckily I had a copy of my SIN which had the address in it. I didn't have any other ID with address on it. She asked my phone number which I couldn't remember because I had recently taken new one. She was kinda pissed about it. Again luckily I had a print out of my resume which had my phone number on it. Then a long wait of 45 mins after which I was called to counter no.2. The officer was really friendly. He started off with oath and took my finger prints in lieu of signature to the oath. He asked me the below questions. 1) Who is your petitioner? 2) How, when and where did you guys first meet? 3) What does she do for work? 4) Where does she live? 5) How many times did you meet after marriage? and where did you meet? 6) Which all countries did I travel in the past 5 yrs? 7) What was my longest stay in US? (I had been there on student visa). Have you ever been to the US after that? 8 Which university did I go to? which program? 9) what do you do for work? 10) Did you get a chance to read the white pamphlet( on domestic violence) . Do you have any questions about it? 11) Is this your first marriage? Is this your wife's first marriage? 12) Were you ever refused at the border? 13) Do you have any criminal record? Then he took a detailed look at my birth and marriage certificate, returned it and finally he said everything looks good and is going to recommend my case for approval.
