CanadaOur Montreal Experience!
Oh, good then. I was careful to not overstay the limit of 6 months...esp after we decided to marry, as I knew it would cause trouble!

CanadaOur Montreal Experience!
Congrats!!!!!

The question about have you ever stayed 5 or 6 months concerns me though. I have spent 1, 4, and the last time 6 months in the USA. My fiancee works, and I don`t right now, so it seemed like a good idea at the time...

CanadaMedical and interview
I have been going over my vaccination records...such as they are. I don`t know what to bring to the medical as proof of vaccinations...do I have to contact the department of health for a certificate? Where do I look for proof of vaccinations? I have had a tetnus shot, but I think it was more than 10 years ago. I got it at the outpatients dept of the hospital...do they even keep records of that?

Thanks Hugglebuggles (lol at the cute name biggrin.gif ) I see you are in Littleton...I am going to Colorado Springs...my favorite needlework shop is in Littleton. I am amazed at how many people here are either from Canada or Colorado. Small world...


I just saw this now! Colorado Springs is a great place, I love it. Its funny how many Canadians you see in Colorado as well, or people with Canadian connections. I think its because Colorado seems to have a Canada feel... Its cold, it snows, we talk the same, people are generally pretty nice, a common love for hockey... laughing.gif I met a fellow VJer at the medical and then the interview who is going to Colorado as well. Small world!


I honestly knew nothing about Colorado before I met Galeon 7. We met on the internet, on a Highlander BB...I had to google to be sure where Colorado was *is embarrased*

I fell in love with it almost instantly though...it is beautiful there...and of course, G is there!


Don't be embarrassed! I did the same thing! I had absolutely no idea where it was and knew nothing about it... but It only took seeing it once to fall in love with the place!

As far as the money goes... Its worth every penny when you have that visa in your hand!

You guys are cute laughing.gif


Thanks! We are just a couple of middle aged teenagers... tongue.gif

Bringing my fiance to the interview was a really great idea. He helped calm me down when I started to get nervous, and the interviewer seemed to like him being there. I was nervous and he took my hand and held it and I saw her smile a little smile.gif What a cute, touching moment.

If you are 110% confident you have all the requirements and nothing will be wrong with your medical, you could probably limit yourself 4 days in Montreal. You want 1 day for the medical, 2 days for it to be processed, and then the interview the next day. Since you are in Nova Scotia, I would definitely wait, taking an extra trip would be a lot more time and money.

The only thing I am unsure of is the immunization shots and am going to docs to have them before the medical exam...just to be on the safe side. I am trying to be completely prepared...and this board is turning out to be invaluable!

Thanks for the info...I am not looking forward to a week in Montreal by myself. My fiance is going to come, if he can get the time off of work. I know he doesn`t have to be at the interview, but moral support is everything....and it may help to show our intentions are serious. The whole process just seems so unnecessarily complex. I get frustrated because we are seperated, and feel like nothing is moving forward...

CanadaThe Vent - Part 2
I feel silly venting, as I have only been waiting 6 weeks for my interview date in Mtl. I am reading here that Mtl is back logged. Ugh. I know ...my case is no more important than anyone else`s, but DAMN!!! I haven`t seen my fiancee since last October. If I knew how long this would take, I could maybe plan a visit to him, but knowing my luck i`d just get there and have to come home again.

My family does NOT want me to move to Colorado, so having them sneer and say "I told you it would take years" is not helping my morale.

And I miss my kitties.

Ok. Rant over.

I would say definately get a tree. Artificial is good in a small area, if you get the kind with branches that just slot in you can leave branches off in the back and squish it back in a corner. I found some gorgeous ornaments in the dollar store last year. Mouth blown, hand decorated glass.


By some 4 year old in Indonesia probably! w00t!

This is listed as being necessary for the interview for the K1 visa. This is the first I nhave heard of it. What is it? Does it have to be notarized?

Seems like there aren't a lot of people out there who applied for k3 either.

I understand hyper, but you should prepare for a long wait, that way, if it comes through early, you can celebrate with gusto!!!
