biggish data

I just paid a guy $225 to play with my nuts

C.'s medical was today. Yesterday he received his tetanus vaccination.

In Edmonton the doctor's office was nearly empty. It is, however, in a building that is tricky to find if you "can never find a thing in downtown Edmonton anyway", as the office is in a converted house rather than a typical office building.

They were very friendly, and the whole physical, including a cursory eye exam, took about 20 minutes. He had to drive to a couple different places to get the X-rays and the blood work.

They drew four vials of blood, one for hepatitis, one for HIV, one for MMR, and one for varicella.

He'll have the results & the X-ray Tuesday.

The title was C.'s overall opinion of the interview.

I'm paying $250.00 :angry:

so for that price the Dr. is going to be a woman :thumbs:

Good luck Ron & Sharon.

Gona gota go ta Montreal

Now just how often can they (Canada Post) screw up? not only with incoming but outgoing mail before they see somethig is wrong. I have too many gripes to go through them all so I will deal only with the latest. Since Jan. 4th Montreal has sent 2 correctly addressed Packet 3s to me, the address was confirmed on Jan. 12 over the phone after the second packet was returned to them. On the 12th of Jan. they were given a different address to use and after having it read back and confirming its correctness, the packet was to be posted on the next day, that was 8 days ago for a total of 17 days since the first one was sent.
Even thought having the packet wouldn't in my mind speed up the process as there is still work to be done it would still be nice to have it here to confirm we are going in the right direction through this maze.
One other thing is that just maybe the packet wasn't sent at all and the answers were just to satisfy my inquiries even though there were only two.

It sucks but I'm just bitchin, not yet time to scream, yell and shout and start pulling hair out.

I sure hope everyone else is having a better time getting all their correspondence in due time.

Ron

i've been in the same situation, first time they sent packet 3 to me was nov. 29th, i never recieved it... second time, january 5th, never recieved it... both time they sent it it was at the right address.. so as i live just a few blocks from the consulate, i picked it up ...

Sorry to here it was done to you also, but I am glad that you were close enough to be able to walk over and get it without too much delay. I hope you have everything completed and a date that is in the very near future. Thank you for your response it helps to know that it can be picked up if all else fails.
They sent mine on the same day (Jan.4th), that Sharon recieved a letter and I an e-mail stating that it would be sent shortly, on the 12th I called to find out if it was sent and they said twice an asked for a different address so I gave them one and verified they had it right and they did, the previous address was also correct. I do tend to put the blame on Canada Post since for an example Sharon got her Christmas card on Jan. 19th which is over a month late.
I'm calling the Consulte later this after noon to see if I can get the packet from the Embassy here in Ottawa if not a trip to Montreal will be in my future.

For those of you trying to quite and are finding it hard, I found that a brand called Native American are about as close to canadian cigarettes as you can getTaste and smell wise. Sharon prefered that I smoked them if I was to smoke to any of the other American cigarettes, they are a primium brand at just over $4.00 for a pack of 20, they supposedly have no additives and are all natural. What I found surprising is that smoking them I reduced my smoking by over half smoking 10 per day rather than the usual pack of 25 canadian I brought with me.
The best thing is to not smoke at all you can never tell when smoking will affect you, I have been lucky and am only in the past year felt the effects of the narrowing of the veins and to be honest it is not something that is enjoyable but rather restictive in certain functions.

Thanks to KitKat1's list

Mumps
Measles
Rubella
Polio
Tetanus and diptheria toxoids
Pertussis
Influenza type B
Hepatitis B
Varicella
Pneumococcal

I went to see my Doc and she gave me the MMR said there was no harm having it done again since there is no record of my having itin the first place, also got the Influenza short a week to late to do any good but at least it will look good on paper. The Td is still good for another 6 years contrary to the previously stated 1993 for the last shot. Blood was drawn and sent to the lab will get the results in about two weeks to see if other shots will be required. As for the varicella there is no denying I have had that since 2 years ago I got shigles and you can't get shingle unless you have had chicken pox, now I'm wondering if I will need a shot for the varicella in order to not get shingles again.
On the down side for those of you who smoke this is a good time to think of quiting, myself after 50 years of smoking my viens have shrunk to the point of having to take the almighty asa daily to reduce chances of clotting and further complications. Not only have the viens shrunk but either a vien or artery in the abdomen is abnormally large and now I am scheduled for ultrasound. Doctors re such wonderful people aren't they, you feel like a teenager going to their office and a senior citizen when you leave.

God bless you all and hope everything is working well for you

Hi Stay33

Mercy has a good point in having the titers done before the medical, otherwise you will have to pay for them and all requied shots, the clinc here I am going said everything was covered by OHIP in Ontario, I don't know if your provincial coverage would cover your though, no harm in asking.
I hope ll goes well and quickly for you at the medical.

Hi Mercy,
Thanks for replying. I am under 65, just barely for the moment. I have a printout of that list you attached but it seems to be short or just the basic and enough to get through the system, I'm hoping to get everything needed so nothing is required once get to the States. Why should we pay for the doctor's filet mignon down there we can have everything done here and eat filet mignon ourselves.
I have the time, I'm waiting for the RCMP and German certificates, I hope to get the packet 3 early next week since this is thier third try at getting it to me.

Kitkat,
Thank you for the list, I will present it to the doctor so she can have the proper tests done. I rather have everything done here, if there is a cost I am sure that it will be much less as the medical insurance here will cover most of what would be out of pocket in the States, it is bad enough that $250.00 has to be spent for something (medical exam)that is done without cost here.

Caladan,

Thank you also, I knew that the tetanus had a ten year lifespan, and one would be required, I'm sure that HIV is a big one that even I would be glad to hear was negative. I wasn't sure about what the supplements were that others where writing about and I do want to get everything possible done here. The list that Kitkat has posted is along the lines of what I was looking for and if anyone has anything other to add it would appreciated and welcome.

Called the doc to find out what shots I had on record and guess what I have one a tetanus that was given 1993 and now I have to do a titers or a series of titers to find out what shots are going to be needed.
I have read that some here needed supplemental shots in the States so my question is, where those supplemental shots beyond what is listed: Tetanus Diptheria, Mumps, Measles, German Measles (Rubella), Chickenpox (Varicella), Hepatitis B, and Influenza?
According to the UK Vaccination Chart all I need because of my age would be the Tetanus Diptheria, Varicella and Influenza shots.
Reading further I see that being born before 1956 I don't need proof of the MMR
Well I am hoping that the titers will prove that all that is needed is the Td booster, I am glad that the docs office said all short are covered by OHIP.

Well thanks kitkat1 and her list which she posted for me a short time ago, I have had the MMR and influenza shots, the Tetnus and Diptheria aren't necessary this time around I'm good for another 6 years. The doc said that many would not be necessary because of my age, but I told her if there is no record of it and it doesn't show in the titre I want it. Last thing I want to have done is a medical in the States and being told you need this and this and that. Of all the shots listed in kitkat1's list only one is not covered by OHIP.

Police certificate from another country

I got one from Germany a short time ago and had it sent to me because of the need for translation, I would think that you would also need your document translated unless they sent already in English. On my application for the certificate of good conduct I had the option of where the certificate should be sent.

I called the corp this morning wanting to get the contact they and was told by the receptionist that the Commissionaires in Ottawa no longer do background checks which I think is not right and she was misinformed. All I can suggest right now is that you contact them by dialing 613-231-6462 and then extension 602 which will bring you to the security clearance administrator.

The RCMP Suck, I sent an e-mail last Tuesday and got an answer back on Sunday the following was their reply.

Mr. ??????:
Your request for the verification of a criminal record for VISA purposes refers.

Your request was entered into our database on: 2007-02-18

The processing time is currently one hundred and twenty (120) days from receipt of an application. Note that processing time can vary due to incoming workloads
CFSS processes more than 15,000 criminal record searches each month.
You may wish to visit our Internet Website at:

Thank you

NOTE: We are currently receiving a high volume of e-mail, therefore there may be delays in receiving a response. We apologize for any inconvenience.
NOTA: Cette adresse courriel reçoit actuellement un volume très élevé de correspondance. Nous nous excusons pour les inconvenients.

What really sucks is that I sent the application a full month before they entered it into their system, so now instead of being half way through the process we are just over the 20 day mark with 100 more to go.

If they count every weekdayand weekend day as a work day we will have news by June 20 at the latest, the 120th day, if they count Monday to Friday as work days we are looking at August 3 at the latest as the 120th day.
I am hoping that because we got the e-mail on Sunday that they are working 24/7 and will have our reply by June.
If they take until August that will place us beyond the 4 month extension and right back at day one with a twist, Sharon would be moving here.

Thank you everyone for the comments and suggestion. Now I’m going to dissect what has been sent so to answer everyone without too much repetition.

Carla,

Yes I did mention it a while ago. It was better to go with the fingerprints since I said yes to having a criminal record in the bio that I have already sent in, no use saying yes and not do the right thing by getting the proper documentation and having problems later on during the interview. There was not one iota of disrespect in what you wrote and clarification was needed so all could see that what I did was out of necessity and not a mistake on my part. I am also optimistic, cautiously optimistic though.

Stacey33,

I don’t really know why it is taking so long, maybe it is because of the new passport ruling and the multitude of applications, that is if the RCMP are involved in that process at all. I’m glad tat were able to get your quickly, and I hope mine will be here soon. I did send the money order with the application. The funny thing is I got the certificate of good conduct from Germany in a matter of a few days.

Than you Autumnchik,

I hope I don’t have to wait the extra 5 months that would place me well beyond the final due date and therefore in a position of either bringing Sharon here to live or starting all over again from square one. As for the Commissionaires I am one of them and have been for 17 years and have gone through the system with them, they are the one’s that got me my pardon. I have a security and have been working for a Federal Deputy Minister for the past 16 years, I did ask them for what ever they had found out during the security clearance and pardon process and was told it was all destroyed once the pardon was received I don’t know how they work, I thought thy also had to use the RCMP and their function was only preparing the document that needed to be sent. I have contacted the court and was told that the documents were no longer available, all I could get was the court date, docket number and other info but was told that other documentation wasn’t available even to them, my guess is that it is now sealed because of the pardon.

Misa,

Like I said above I am a Commissionaire so I’m thinking I went through everything I am going right that I did many years ago. As for the Commissionaires being quicker I can’t say because I don’t know if they are in fact offering the same service.

Hi Flames9, thanks for replying.
I've been waiting for over 2 months now, when I sent in the paperwork I also included a a note, a long one asking that the process be expedited stating it was required before April as the NOA 2 (I-797) is valid to April 7th. The one good thing is there is the 4 month extension to fall back on if needed.

Carla, thank you also for your reply.
The sad thing is I was once stupid and got caught driving without a licence in 1971, and got a suspended sentence that is 35 years ago, and I got a pardon almost 20 years ago. As you can see I had to go the fingerprint route.

Has anyone else had to go throught the complete finger print search with the RCMP, their site said 120 days in January and now it has gone from that to 120+ days for the results. Poor Sharon has been planning and planning for a spring wedding since we started the process and now we are looking at a fall wedding at the very earliest since I have about 2 more months of waiting for the certificate and then another few months sitting in Montreal. I e-mailed them (RCMP) on Monday requesting and update but still no reply from them.

After all that the question is: has anyone heard of anyone else who went through the fingerprint thing and how long it may have taken them.

Isn't this a bit strange? I sent an e-mail to Montreal with the following:

I have requested an update on my request for a criminal background check with the RCMP, and I received a reply stating that my request was entered I their system on February 18, 2007, and it will take 120 plus days to process my request. The 120 plus days could run from May 20^th to July 20^th depending on whether they count 5 or 7 days as workdays. Our visa process is valid until April 7^th, with the 4-month extension permitted by the consulate I would have until the 7^th of August to have everything finalized and I was wondering:

1. Does the interview have to be done on or before the 7^th of August deadline?

2. Could the checklist be sent to the consulate before the RCMP documentation is in my hands and check it as having been received?

3. I have a letter from the court where I was arraigned is it necessary to also have a statement from the arresting police force also which was a RCMP detachment?

For number 1 there was no reply.
For number 2 there was no reply, but I do know that the answer is yes.

For number 3 there was no answer, the answer should have been yes as per packet 3.

Below is the reply I received from them.

I have entered you as having all docs recd; the police certificate does not have to be taken with fingerprints unless you have had problems with the law.

I find that someone took the initiative and jumped the gun without all the facts by assuming I have everything in hand when in fact I don't as yet. I will be getting the documents from Sharon in a few days they are not here with me.

I am left wondering if what they did is what is done when the checklist is sent to them. Should I at this point consider myself as checked in (having sent the checklist) and waiting for a interview date.

Hi Lynette, I have been followng your progress and I hope that you and Ed are together very soon, it has already been too much of a wait. You will be in the States a long time before I reach there I'm looking at some time aruond Augustsince I had few hang-ups specially with the RCMP I only received the certificate back this month, but we are now in the system waiting for our number to be picked. It seem like the longer in the system the less we get stressed, we just keep counting the days gone bye.

Another question (about mail)

The package should be about 11 pages thick, it arrived in a 8.5x11 envelope. there is no need for the post office to not deliver it to your address as it will fit in your mail box easily. The consulate does at time tell you stories such as it is in the mail when in fact it is sitting in their mailroom. Call them and make sure they have the right address. It took two attempts in December to get mine to me the third attempt was in January and it was the successful one, I'm assuming that the first two were just vocal attempts to keep me happy and not factual in the envelope attempts.
