YOU provide them with an express post envelope, they mail it back to you.

Folks

Do you know how it will take for me to get my passport back from the Embassy? with the visa stamped on it? Is it same day or next day or 2-3 days etc etc Any Idea?
Thanks



rookie!! lol ur dealing with the govt, so u may never see it again,lol Where in Canada are u? The standard answer they give at the consulate is 2 weeks! Normally it is a lot quicker than that! Some get it back a few days later, some a week. Guess it al depends how motivated the consulate worker is. At 1 time in Montreal, u got the the very same day! Those good days are gone! A few have managed to cry or stomp their feet and got them that day, not sure what thier secret was,lol But their is no hard concrete answer, and yes that does suck for planning ur move!!

YES, u have to give them ur cdn passport, and I believe it has to be valid for at least 6 months!

In ur passport they will put the TEMPORARY stamp in ur passport. Its glued in and acts as ur "grrencard" until the actual "greencard" arrives in the mail. Same size as ur drivers license. After u enter the USA and activate it, takes a bout a month to arrive!

My Husband's passport was only valid until July - so 5 months - so they just gave him a 5 month validity on the temporary - not a big deal for us.

The visa in the passport is rather nice! Takes up a whole page and has your photo on it.

It looks kind of like this, but not exactly:





ur husband is very metrosexual looking!! Good job on the eye shadow!! i can never get that applied just right

CanadaCanadian Tattoos?
I dont belive the two flags should be put together. The flag of a country is a very proud symbol, which many men and women of that nation have died for. Yes they are both great countries, but each country stands for different things!

CanadaCanadian Tattoos?
I have the Cdn flag, nothing special, rather boring,lol it has faded a great deal. i got it in Winnipeg in 1993 prior to heading over to Croatia for U.N. Peacekeeping. My wife has thought about getting a maple leaf on her ankle.

Canadahow long after interview before my wife can cross the border?
This another frustrating part of the process. A very few VJ'ers have been able to come back the next day and get the visa, while others have been told no, it must be mailed. Best of luck

CanadaAre XRays on CD-ROM accepted by the consulate?
I recall being strictly told NOT to have it on CD, that it must be on film! but that was back in 2004. Yes 99.99999% Montreal cares less. I imagine Mtl and other consulates are going to have to switch their way of conducting business as film is going by the way side, at least from what i have been told

CanadaMedical insurance
We have insurance--but one gets to see the ttl bill. For my wifes sprained ankle--which we sat in emergency for like 3 hrs, and only had a few minutes with a PA, and xrays,the bill was over $1500.00 99% of that time was just sitting. Medical stuff ain't cheap. The exact same pregnancy test u buy for $15 at ur drug store, was like $60 there,lol

CanadaMailing Medication
Some drugs you CAN get for more than 1 month. Phone ur insurance company and see if they allow it.

Yes generic drugs are not 100% copies of the original
Flames9_RNMaleCanada2008-09-09 10:22:00
CanadaMailing Medication
My wife gets her BC in 3 month batches. I know if she needs more than a 3 month supply (she travels) she has to phone up the insurance company and they have to grant some thing like a waiver!! Her overall prescription is good for 1 year,then she has to get another physical completed!
so with regards to 1 month at a time, it may because of ur insurance, ask ur dr, or phone ur insurance co. And again it may depend on the type of BC, or ur DR is juts crazy,lol

I had no clue just before my interview! I phoned MTl (ya they answered the phones back then) and some clueless lady said she didnt know!! So I had to have my wife send hers by fed ex next day delivery from the USA to my hotel in Mtl!! Was pricey!! All for nothing, as they did not require it!! but that was in 2004

CanadaReally In A Bind Here
Yes, there are hospitals and clinics that work on sliding scales, but they tend not to advertise that! I'm a Rn stduent and we run a FREE clinic, in fact thats my rotation right now! of course the services we provide are very basic and we only have 1 nurse practitioner, BUT we can refer clients to other low cost resources, which many have no clue that they are available!!

Another tip one can do to save $$$$ is generic drugs Goto walmart/target website and print off thier $4 prescription plans. So if ya goto the dr and he prescribes you something and MANY Drs don think about the $$$$$ of a drug, they just prescribe it,lol ask if their is an acceptable drug on the walmart/target $4 prescription list!! Kmart offers it as well, but I think it's $5

Best of luck

Do they give you a list of places to choose from to get the medical or can you just go to your own doctor?



You have to goto an APPROVED doctor here is the list: (you will get a copy in ur package as well) if you require any vaccinations, you can get those from your family dr, but the actual physical has to be completed by an approved Dr

CanadaCanadian TV in the US
Some purchase a Express Vue satelight from Canada, and bring it with them to the USA! I believe for it to work, you have to pay the monthly cable bill by a cdn address??

Another method that is catching on is SlingBox http://www.slingmedia.com/ you buy the box and attach to a system back in Canada. Of course one requires High speed internet for this to work, then ya can watch CDN tv on ur computer (anywhere in the world, as long as u have an internet connection) and of course you require someone willing to have the slingBox attached to their system!!
