Canada	I need some kind of clarification	I just want to stick in here, all I put for educational instutions was my University. I've already gotten P4 and my interview date, so no RFE from it? Grade school is public education (unless you went to private), any post-secondary is considered an "institution". But if you want to put all to be safe, I'm sure they're not going to have an issue with it	Jenni and Bo	Female	Canada	2008-12-22 20:19:00

Canada	POE - Canadian Pre-clearance and visa activation	Oh sweetie... I flew through Montreal for a trip back in February, and just going through customs regularly took me 45 mins :S you may want to see about getting a new connecting flight. Good luck though!

Canada	I hate online forms...	woop woop The new scanned picture worked - I think it was the resolution Thanks again for your help everyone	Jenni and Bo	Female	Canada	2009-01-03 10:52:00
Canada	I hate online forms...	my father scanned it at his office today with a better scanner - it wasn't too large, and it was within all the other requested specifications... It was the fact that the error said "license is either incorrect or expired". That isn't a problem with the picture I wouldnt think. I will attempt the new pic upload and let you know the results thanks for all the help!	Jenni and Bo	Female	Canada	2009-01-02 20:37:00
Canada	I hate online forms...	nope, it was scanned by the printer/scnner program on my work computer and edited with Microsoft picture viewer.

Jenni and Bo	Female	Canada	2009-01-01 21:28:00
Canada	I hate online forms...

Canada	New Member	Welcome to VJ! My advise would be the same as the others...do the research on the visa types and along with asking questions here in the Canada forum, dont be afraid to post in the specific visa forums as well - people there are also very knowledgable Congrats on your engagement, I hope whichever you decided, that the process goes well for you. I can't say it's an easy time, to wait all those months, but it's so worth it. I thought I would lose it there a couple times, but I made it, and talking to people who are going through the process at the same time, or who have gone through it already are really nice to talk to. Like Spirit said, if you can keep yourself busy, the time will pass much quicker <3 Jen	Jenni and Bo	Female	Canada	2009-01-06 15:42:00

Canada	Order in which Montreal processes interview requests	You interview isn't based on your NOA2 date. You aren't put on the list until you send back your completed P3 packet. Even then it's not necessarily exactly in order, but it's more based on the date your checklist is recieved. Hope that helps! Jen	Jenni and Bo	Female	Canada	2009-01-13 21:35:00

Canada	NOA2 Recieved... Next Steps Now	QUOTE (SapphireDreams @ Jan 18 2009, 09:48 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> In terms of timing, if you're not in a huge rush to actually move, I would just delay sending back your packet 3 slightly and then aim for a late May interview. I actually have a work thing that I cannot miss on March 2, so I'm waiting impatiently to see when my interview is. I'm REALLY hoping it is any day but that day (or the week before since its a huge event we're planning). If i'm not lucky and that is my interview day, I'm going to have to reschedule, which will probably slow things down a couple of months... so we shall see... I'm in a similar position... I may also have to travel for work to the US before I move with a K1 in my passport, so I hope that's not a problem either... Sapphire, I would look into this...for some reason I dont know if you can do that. Maybe someone else has had experience with it, but it would seem like an iffy situation?

Canada	For those who had Gardasil	The pharmacy may have it on file, as they would have to scan it before you buy it. if nothing else, as long as you have a letter from your doctor saying you have had the two shots, i think you would be good	Jenni and Bo	Female	Canada	2009-01-19 20:45:00
Canada	For those who had Gardasil	Dr. Doane in Halifax had asked for a letter from my doctor, on the Doctor's heading, to be faxed to him from my doctor's office. The secretary had no trouble doing it when I asked. He wrote it down in my immunization book as well, but as you said, anyone could write it in. He wanted the date, which dosage (needle 1,2 or 3) and the Lot number from the actual prescription. This guarantees that it actually was given On a side note, when i got my 2nd needle, the doctor put it into my file *same info as above* for when i get the file transferred to the US - in case they need proof for my AOS interview.

Canada	Package 3 has finally made it here!	[quote name='Rob and Mel' date='Jan 13 2009, 10:43 AM' post='2550157'] Hey all! Montreal has finally managed to get my Package 3 here this time! (they sent out the first one Nov. 7th and it never came....) Anyways, I have some questions regarding the DS-230 part 1.... 1. The instructions in my package only request the DS-230 and the DS-160.... Does that mean I don't have to do the DS-156 and DS-156k??? (eventhough they put a DS-156k in the package....) From what I understand, the DS-156 is no longer used because of the 160 - but since the DS156K is the one you sign in FRONT of the CO at your interview, I would fill it out just in case - It goes with you, it doesn't get sent to the Consulate 2. For question #14, Name of Spouse, etc.... Do I put my fiance's name in there or do I just leave it blank..... Also on question #9, Marital Status, I know I pick divorced, but underneath it talks about present marriage, so should I put 1 or 2 in there??? (I know this should be obvious, but I dont want to do it wrong....) If you are divorced, you put "divorced' - it is talking about your maritial status going into this marriage. and I put "none" for the 'Name of Spouse', as he is not my spouse yet 3. For question # 25, List dates of all previous visits in the united states.... Do they want a supplemental sheet included??? And also, it won't let you put in the days you were there, only the months.... Do they just want it to know how many times you were there or for how long you were there??? I filled mine out by hand, but I did include a supplimentary sheet and listed my last 10 visits. they are not looking for specific lengths of visits (on the DS 160 they will for your last 5 visits though). So when I went down for a week in april, I just wrote in "from 04/08 to 04/08" I hope this helps! Jen	Jenni and Bo	Female	Canada	2009-01-13 10:06:00

Canada	Canadian Police Checks	QUOTE (Wis-Can @ Jan 27 2009, 12:09 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> QUOTE (Krikit @ Jan 27 2009, 09:25 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> @ Flames. Yes, A&M, Flames' information is correct. Wis-Can..... not so much. lol Exactly what is that suppose to mean....the information I gave was correct. Actually hun it is not correct. You only need one check done, as long as they are able to do A CPIC (Canada-Wide check). Local police as well as RCMP are able to do this. I've lived in Miramichi, Halifax, and Lower Sackville...I only got my police check done from the local Miramichi police, and they did a CPIC check, thereby running my name through a Canada-wide check. If you have lived in other countries, you would need checks from them, but not from different towns/cities in Canada.	Jenni and Bo	Female	Canada	2009-01-27 11:13:00
Canada	Canadian Police Checks	QUOTE (Wis-Can @ Jan 27 2009, 03:28 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes, if you are going through individual police stations (local police) you will need one from each place you lived. However, with the RCMP there Police Clearance Check covers the entire country. For people in Canada its best to go through the RCMP. FYI for others, a Criminals Records Check and the Police Clearance Check are two different things I found out today when I went into the office to get mine. I had my police check done by the town police (town of less than 20 000) and asked them to do a CPIC search, and it was all good (got my Visa last week). Flames is right though, make sure you check with the station first, although MOST should be able to - they would never be able to cross reference names for cases for other crimes if they did not have access to CPIC. I had to get one done every year for my jobs, so I knew they could do it (and Chief of police was one of my regulars when I worked at Tim Hortons LOL) Hope that helps A&M!

How long is the K-1 visa taking from start to finish....receiving the visa? P.s. Sorry for hi-jacking the thread, but I didn't want to make a whole new one. Thanks Depends on the service centre and how fast petitions are going through them, and then it depends on what Consulate you go through, Vancouver or Montreal.
