It was quick and without issue. They didn't even look in the Uhaul, didn't ask to document what I was bringing. I had to drive the truck across by myself due to Covid restrictions, this was a new experience for me! The border agents were very nice and were surprised to see an immigrant visa. They said they hadn't seen one of these in a long time. I also had to bring my car, so my son-in-law drove it to the border. I crossed with the UHaul then I walked back across and drove my car across. The Canadian border agent gave me a Covid paper but said he was not going to make me quarantine in this situation. If you have to bring a car and a UHaul make sure that you just park the UHaul and don't have any contact on the US side before you walk back across to pickup your car. Also, remember to make sure your vehicle is US compliant before crossing. In my hurry I forgot to do this, BUT the US border agent was so amazing he just told me what I needed to do and said that he was not going to make me cross back into Canada with my car because of Covid. He said I'm just going to give you my name and if you are stopped and questioned for driving your car tell them Officer ---- gave you permission. I was so floored, he basically gave me permission for an import that was not legal due to the border restrictions. I am in the process of getting the letter of compliance for my car and then I have to cross back into Canada and then back to the US to do it properly after I receive it. (we live right on the border so that is not a problem) All in all a very positive point of entry experience! | 2020-10-07 | ||||

No physical (mailed) packet has been received. -- Medical Screening -- The medical screen was done at Medisys in Montreal. Cost was approx $475 CAD + extra for missing vaccines. The appointment was at 12:50, which seemed like a peak time in the clinic. I showed up 30mins earlier and waited in line to check in. That alone took the whole 30mins I had on the booked time! I was given a handful of forms to fill in. The usual: medical history, allergies, consent forms, etc. After waiting more (well past the appointment time), I first went for a chest x-ray for tuberculosis. Pregnant women take note: this is radiation for the baby and they let you turn down the scan, but your application will typically be delayed until you can go back (presumably after giving birth) to complete the process and get the scan. I waited some more until I was called for a quick checkup with a doctor. That involves getting mostly undressed. I waited again until a nurse called me, handing me a recipient for a urine sample. She then drew blood for more checks and looked at the vaccines with me. As I was missing some vaccines, I was offered to either get them right away or go on my own elsewhere. Note that if going elsewhere, you can. It's especially favourable if you have any kind of insurance covering them, but in Quebec, some like flu aren't free unless you're in high-risk groups. If you do them elsewhere, you'll need to have confirmation sent from the other clinic to them so they can add it to your file before preparing it for the consulate. Note that you need to go back in person to pick up the medical packet. They do not submit it to the consulate on your behalf, unlike some online instructions may lead you to believe. -- Interview --- Went smoothly. A few questions but not much. They only asked for a subset of the documents, one by one through a window. Most documents weren't even looked at. They looked at the passport-style photos but didn't keep them. I had the shipping notification for the passport 3 days after (interview was Monday, passport was shipped Wednesday) and received it a day later. It was mailed with Xpresspost within the province of Quebec, so it didn't take long! I'll add more details later. | 2020-02-13 | |||||
