CanadaCriminal Checks
Mine was at the RCMP detachment in Bible Hill NS (Just on the out skirts of Truro) I had also checked the detachment in Enfield which is just outside of Halifax NS it was free too but was going to take 2 days. Truro was closer to me so I went there. I'm assuming that all detachments in NS would be free.

CanadaCriminal Checks
I also went to the local RCMP and got the criminal record check and the sex offender one as well for free. They also gave me other certified copies. They were a little busy that day so it took a couple hours. Well worth the wait.

CanadaIs it just me, or is this kind of overwhelming?
Congratulations on the wedding tomorrow! It will all work out, it has thus far. Remember back when you were starting the paperwork for the I-129F and how overwhelming that was. Relax, have a wonderful day tomorrow!

CanadaQuestion about Police Check
The sex offender search is a seperate form that you have to sign in order for them to do it. I had both done because when I was there the girl asked me if i needed it as well. I was unsure if I needed it done so I signed the form. So on mine that box is checked that it was done and no record.

CanadaLong Form Birth certificate question...
Mine does not say anything about live birth but that may be a provincial thing. Mine just says Birth Certificate (Nova Scotia) Has my name, DOB, parents names, date registered.

CanadaEating Differences
Ketchup is good on anything that you don't like the taste of. Drowns things out quite nicely. I think there is nothing abnormal about eating salami and ketchup sandwiches. If you think about it pizza sauce is made with tomato and you put salami on pizza. So if you take your ketchup and salami sandwich, add cheese and maybe heat it a bit you have something that tastes similar to pizza? Mayo is great on burgers! Also coleslaw on burgers, especially if they are bbq'd (that is grilled to our American friends) Poutine those fries as FireRay says! KFC here does the best poutine. So back to ketchup....A few weeks ago I was eating some ketchup chips (Lays) my fiance asked what I was eating and I told him. He had never heard of ketchup chips. He has gone to the stores in and around where he lives in VA and no one has heard of them. I guess that is a good reason for a trip back to Canada when the time comes for a bag of chips.

CanadaA Place to Get Passport Photo Taken?

I didn't think to try Shopper's Drug Mart. I have one near where I work and can drop by tomorrow. Thanks!


Good luck! Don't forget to set your timeline on here when you get a chance.

CanadaA Place to Get Passport Photo Taken?
I had mine done at Shoppers Drug Mart. $9.99 for 2 pictures. They had a binder of all the different sizes and requirements. I had a little shine on my face because it was a hot day, so they went to the cosmetic department and got some translucent powder to take the shine off. They were very good. I will go back there for ones I need for the medical and such.

CanadaCan I visit the USA for Christmas (forms just sent)?
You can travel to the US. But as with any other time you cross the line you take a risk of being turned away. Make sure that you take strong ties to Canada with you. Copy of a lease, utility bill, return ticket etc.... Also I have read to take a copy of your paperwork that you filed. A copy of your NOA1 and or 2. Good luck!

CanadaSecond NOA2
Yes 2 NOA2 hard copies.....One dated Nov 19 that we received earlier this week then we received another one dated Nov 26th today. They are both exactly the same except the date in the Notice Date box. .....We also receive a letter from NVC the same day as the first hard copy came stating that they had received the approved application and they were going to forward it to Montreal, and our case number for Montreal is on the letter.

CanadaSecond NOA2
We received an NOA2 approval on Wednesday dated Nov 19th. Then today in the mail we received another exactly the same but the date is Nov 26th. The notice type is the same and the valid dates are the same. Anyone else have this happen? Is there anything we should do about it?
Thanks!

CanadaPacket 4
Ah ok...I will go back in once I get the packet 4 and pay. I guess the quickest way would be via credit card. It's 350 USD. That is better than having to carry all that cash on us. Thanks so much everyone for the info. I will sit back and wait for the packet 4 to come in the snail mail.
JeannieLFemaleCanada2011-01-27 15:02:00
CanadaPacket 4
Thanks! I was just on the site to book the interview....Looks like April 5th is the next available date...I didn't book it though. I also see that it has to be paid before you can book now? I thought it could be paid in Montreal at the time of the interview?

CanadaPacket 4
I just got off the phone with DOS....Apparently packet 4 was sent to me on January 24....I did not receive the email. Can I go ahead and book my interview?
JeannieLFemaleCanada2011-01-27 13:02:00
CanadaP3
All I sent was the forms that they asked for and the check list. My packet was logged and waiting packet 4 was sent out Monday. Waiting to receive packet 4 in the mail. I would be afraid to send everything for fear that they might lose it. It says somewhere in the instructions to not send all, to bring it with you. Glad it worked out for you Anysunrise. Congrats on your approval!
JeannieLFemaleCanada2011-01-27 17:45:00

CanadaScheduling appointment
Instead of picking Permanent resident (K1) scroll down a few more and click on just Permanent resident. That will take you past the payment page and you can pay at the interview in cash :-)

CanadaMedical: Vaccination costs
I had the blood titre test done free....I went to my Dr and explained what I needed and she wrote the requisition and I went to the hospital and had them done. It took about 2 weeks for the results. I had the tetanus shot free at my Dr's office free of charge. I'm not sure about your province but the flu shot is offered free here, check into that. When the blood titre came back it said I was not immune to mumps so I needed the MMR shot. I went to the public health and had it for $20. Check into things with your own doctor first, it may be cheaper for you.

CanadaAddress question
It does say not to use a PO Box on the I-129F instructions. I did not see it anywhere else on the forms. So when I filled mine out I put my PO Box then my civic address after or under it. I also talked to the post office to let them know how I did it and they were going to watch for any mail coming. It was no problem, I got all mine in my PO Box.
