I thought I read somewhere it's one envelope each..



I just looked and didnt see anything anywhere. When I handed my interview letter to the clerk, it had all the other papers still stapled together with all the instructions.

You can buy them at your interview as long as you have a credit card. I got mine at the post office. Just make sure you write down the tracking number so you can track it online when they do send the visa. Just be prepared for Canada Post to not be acurate with the tracking.

Ontarkie: I'm not sure about 5 visas, but I had both mine and my son's visas placed in the same envelope.

CanadaNo sign of the visa yet
I didn't have my interview on a Monday, I had mine on a Wednesday. Canada Post website really sucks for trying to track a pkg. I got the email confirmation on a Saturday or Sunday saying that my pkg was entered into their system on Friday morning and was just sitting in Montreal. On Monday morning I got another email saying it went to Ottawa Sunday and was in Toronto Monday morning. Then another email Tuesday morning saying that someone tried to deliver it to my house with no answer Monday. Which was #######, cause I was home that day waiting. So I ended up having to go to the post office myself the following day to get it.

Don't ever rely on the post office and their website. Its not accurate for everyone. I don't mean to get your hopes down for having it arrive to you sooner, but just be prepared to wait a bit for it. I hope it gets to you soon.

I'm so happy. I called NVC and just was told that we have a case number. Our file was sent to MTL today.

So with having that case number, can I book my medical appointment with Dr Seiden?

Can you tell I'm excited? laughing.gif


I think I went to Dr. Seidens in Toronto. Gawd its been so long lol. When I made the appointment I told them all I had was a checklist from pkt 3 and had asked about the interview letter and they said I didn't need that. Hell, I can't even remember what I brought in lol. I'm drawing a complete blank here tongue_ss.gif I was all excited that I was able to answer someones question, well, ok, If I can remember anything else, I'll add it. Sorry for rambling on about nothing lol.

Sounds painless enough. The I-94 is just for me or do i fill one out for my daughter as well? i will be flying from Sudbury and connecting in Toronto, so i guess i may have to get a flight with a couple hours inbetween flights to Raleigh.

Yes, you'll need to fill one out for your daughter as well. They're on the kind of cubby-like table against the wall before you enter Customs. And, yes, you'll need to give yourself lots of time before catching your next flight to Raleigh. They may have you processed through in half an hour, they may take longer. It all depends upon the volume that they're dealing with. Don't hesitate to speak up if it's busy and you're worried about missing your flight. They might give you a hard time but they'll look after you. If you're flying around Thanksgiving or Christmas, give yourself TONS of time.

You can pack your x-rays in your checked luggage. You won't need them. Just bring the envelope that says "DO NOT OPEN".



Your very helpful Krikit. Thanks! biggrin.gif

My daughter and I are flying across

If you are flying out of Toronto, you will need to pick up and fill out an I-94 form before you get into the US Customs lineup. Present that, along with your passport and MBE (mysterious brown envelope) to the officer. He/she will send you back through the closed doors on the right-hand side into secondary. The officer at the desk will take your documents and tell you to have a seat. Then he/she will call you up to take your biometrics and you're on your way. You don't have to pay for the I-94 when you fly.

Ohhh, good question stacy. I'll also be flying out of Toronto with my son next Friday. All I know is give youself plenty of time. Better to be hours early for your flight, then an hour late.

CanadaPictures
When I got my pictures done for me and my son, the place I got them from did the same thing and just stamped the back. I did not write our names on the back of them. I do not think that when I took the pictures to our medical exam, that our names needed to be written on the back. All they did was put our pics on the piece of paper for the file.

CanadaUS Customs Keeps Your Passport At POE??

CanadaUS Customs Keeps Your Passport At POE??
I was going through some of the VJ topics and found one that was interesting. When going through your POE to activate your visa, they actually keep your passport, then mail it to you later? I'll be going through Toronto airport, so what am I supposed to use as ID when I'm at the gate to board my plane? I have an OHIP card for me and my son, but I thought with everyone needing a passport to fly now, that I'd need my passport.

CanadaI'm starting to panick!
I'm sure it'll get to him in time before Friday. I had my interview on a Wednesday and I had to pick up my visa from the post office on Tuesday. Their website is never accurate. It showed that they "tried" to deliver it on the Monday, but no one was home. That was #######, cause I stayed home all day.
