Ken and Kate:
What a relief!!! It weird how the smallest thing can almost give you a panic attack! When I was looking into the vaccines stuff, gosh I swear I was hyperventilating!
Are you logged in yet?

Well, have a good day everyone, I'm trying hard to focus since in two sleeps I see my hubby again! Yeah! :luv:

Ciao!

Anyways, I'm gonna call again on Wednesday just to see if a miracle happened!

Thanks AandB for the info!

I just called Medysis because I was freaking out a little about the vaccines. The guy told me that if there were missing vaccine in my 'Carnet de Santé' they would give them all to me, and I would have to pay for them.
I called my CLSC to get a tetanos booster, and see if I can get an appointment before the 21st of May. I had to leave a message which is extremely annoying! I bet you 20$ they won't call back! Anyways, at least I know I'll be able to get it there if I don't have an appointment with the CLSC.

I'll be calling at around 4 o'clock to see if I have an interview date. I'll keep you all posted!

Ken an Kate: so was the Fed Ex enveloppe from the ambassy???

Ken and Kate:
Gosh, I hope it's not something related to your P3... I don't know, but I would think the embassy would send something via regular mail (cheaper) don't you think? Maybe that can bring your hopes up! I'm no expert though, I hope that my gut feeling is good on this! When I was logged in the operator said "you are elligible for an interview date, but non has been set yet"...
Good luck this week, keep your chin up!

Oh! And thanks Kizza for the reassurance about the vaccine!!! You're full of comforting information!!!

Good Morning everyone!
So I figured I'll call Monday, Wednesday and Friday this week... Last batch of interviews were given around the 16th of April, so hopefully we'll have news this week... This is getting hard waiting around for interview dates when we're so close to the goal! It feels longer than even before!!! Oh, well, let's keep positive!

Wishing, I hope you're having a good visit with your fiancé, how long is he here for?

And also, you posted a question about vaccinations, and to go along with it, I'm wondering this:
If you are missing vaccines from the list, do you need to get your personal doctor to give them to you, or will the doctor at Medysis give it to you???

Ahhhh, I hope someone has an answer for me!!!

Have a good week everyone and I'll keep you posted tomorrow, in case I do have an interview date.

Alaba:
Well, if he definitely makes the necessary amount for a household of 5, you're ok. Don't forget to include yourself in that number too. Also, gather evidence of savings and what not. I'm not expert on the subject, so maybe someone with more knowledge could have a better answer...
Hopes this helps! :star:

Hi everyone!
So I just came to two conclusions today: First one - and sorry for the sexist remark - but women make way better phone operators than men do. And second, it's Friday for everyone and you can sense the irritation in some - male - operators from DOS!
Haha!
Well, you guessed it, no interview date yet :crying:
That's ok! Keeping positive! Will go spend my frustration in some intense cleaning of the house rather than eating my emotions! Which, by the way, can help burn 200 calories! The cleaning that is, not the eating.
Alright, well have a good weekend ya'll and let's try again Monday.. :clock:

Thanks Kimbear for popping up!
Awww...Knowing that you made it alright and are now with your loved one makes me hope that soon -hopefully- I too will be back home!
Thank you for the info about the tax returns. Chris has asked for them too, and like you, it took about two weeks to get them back.
Good luck with the AOS and keep dropping a line when you have the chance!
Cheers!

Congrats Alaba!!!

So are we all logged in now? I guess Ken and Kate are still waiting...

Calling tomorrow to see if interview date is set up (huge knock on wood!)

CanadaApproved November Filers - The Wait for Interview
Good Morning!
Ken and Kate: any news???

I think I'm gonna wait until tomorrow to call... Gosh, I think I'm gonna cry if they give me an interview date!!! I would just love for them to give it to me now, or at least next week when Chris will be here! :luv:

Well, have a good day everyone, and keep us all posted on logged/calls/interviews!

CONGRATS!! That just has to brighten your day :D Kinda makes me wish I called today!

Don't kid yourself though, you'll still be calling every day, just now you'll be hoping for an interview date!



Yeah that's true!! Wishing and I are calling DOS addicts! Congratulations on getting logged and seeing your hubby tonight!!! Have fun and enjoy your time together!!! ;)

Ken and Kate: you should call tomorrow! I'm sure you'll be logged in by the end of this week!

Yeah, things are slowly moving along!!!

Good Morning!
Wishing: You know, every day I wake up and think "alright, no calling today, just wait until Friday, blah blah blah", but then it'S 3 o'clock, and I'm like, gee, what if they gave me a date today and wait until Friday to find out?!? It's a good think I started running a month ago, because I don't know what I'd do with all this extra stress!!!

AandB: I hear you! It's weird because now is the shortest wait we all have to go through. We've gone through so much longer before not knowing anything, approval, logged, visits, etc... Well in my case anyways! And it's as if because we know we're gonna be back soon, time goes SO MUCH slower... Chris is coming next week, and now I wish he'd be here longer than 5 days... But it's better than nothing! I swear to God though, after my interview, I'll be packed and ready to go! If I get my visa on a Tuesday, I'm booking my flight for the following day! I'm so impatient now, I don't want to think about when the interview is done and I'm waiting on the visa in mail...

You know I was thinking the other day, what do people do that file for a visa and don't know about this site? I got so much info on here that you can't get nowhere else. Imagine the stress they must be putting on themsleves! At least we can share, and vent and support one another.

Alright, enough rambling... And I will TRY my best to wait until Friday to call. Yeah, yeah, your heard me! A 3 days break. I'm quiting cold turkey until then, haha!

Keep us posted everyone! I have a feeling those of you who are waiting to be logged will be before next week!

Cheers!

Hi my name is Vero and I've been a "calling DOS" addict for 1 month and 15 days...

Alright, just relapsed and called again... No interview date yet. I know it's normal, I guess I'm just that ####### about stuff like that! How long can it be to look at a file and give an interview date, right? Grrr...

Wishing, one more sleep!!! Gosh, you're lucky! I have to wait another 8 days until I see my luv again! Maybe you'll get logged in while he's here, it'll give you a reason to celebrate! Not that we need any, but...

I think so far waiting for an interview we have:
- Ken and Kate (logged in ?)
- Pasht - logged in
- Wishing (logged in ?)
- J & J - logged in
- Valerie78 - (loggegd in ?)
- Alaba (logged in ?)

Am I missing anyone?

CanadaApproved November Filers - The Wait for Interview
AandB: Chris has a form we found on here and you send it to the IRS and they send you an official tax receipt. Make sure there is no water mark when he prints out his slip off Turbotax... Chris' had a water mark so we had the IRS send a tax receipt to him. It takes like two weeks to get them back...

Hope this helps!!!

CanadaApproved November Filers - The Wait for Interview
Just called DOS,
I love it when I don't have to wait to speak to someone! But no interview date yet. That's ok, 4 more days to the week!
Ken and Kate: is your P3 logged in?
Vero and ChrisFemaleCanada2010-05-03 14:29:00
CanadaApproved November Filers - The Wait for Interview

Well just got off the phone with DOS...no wait at all for an operator.

Apparently the person at DOS I talked to last week that said my P3 was logged in was in error, or I misunderstood what they said. The operator today told me that it hasn't yet been logged in. She also said that Montreal is very behind...which is the usual story they give anyways from what I've heard...

So I think I will likely be calling every day this week until I do get a confirmation that it has been logged in!! :wacko: :clock:

Anybody have any more exciting news?? :goofy:


Don't worry Wishing, I'm sure if you call tomorrow, you'll get another story, yet again! I'm gonna call here in about 30 minutes see what they have to say. Last time I called, the lady said that I was "elligible for an interview" but no interview date had been set yet.
Well, we've got 4 more days to the week!
Keep you all posted!
Vero and ChrisFemaleCanada2010-05-03 13:34:00
CanadaApproved November Filers - The Wait for Interview
Haha! J & J, I'm exactly like that too! Will be calling Friday as well for SURE! I'll call tomorrow two, around 3 o'clock. Will see what Wishing has to report later on! Hopefully good news!!!

And Wishing, I had the "priviledge" of being in an awful relationship prior to meeting Chris, and lost most of my stuff... That's why my life can be packed in 3 suitcases and 3 boxes! Gee, sounds a little weird to put that down!!!

Good luck today when calling!
Vero and ChrisFemaleCanada2010-05-03 06:33:00
CanadaApproved November Filers - The Wait for Interview
Hi again!
Wishing: thanks for the info!
Turns out I have three boxes of 10 pounds each to ship. Then, I was able to fit lots into 2 suitcases. So basically, I'll be checking in 3 suitcases and will have a carry-on beside my purse. I think Air Canada will charge around 130$ for the extra two checked-in suitcases, but that's probably cheaper than having them shipped there through Fed Ex or UPS... What do you guys think?

Oh, and around what time will you be calling tomorrow, Wishing, so I can pop on here and see that interview dates are being assigned? :P

Have a good night, let's hope this week brings good news!!!
:energy:


Oh! And I just checked on Canada Post's website, and with the measurements and weight of the boxes, it would be around 25$ each to send... Not bad!! I think I'll be using that!

I've been packing a lot of things, and I wonder if it'd be better to send it by mail, or bring everything in luggages on the flight... I have a lot of books and cds and am worried it'll be a lot to mail... Dilemma... :wacko:

Hey guys, I need some help. My Medical is coming up on May 12 and I got my "records" of immunization. The thing is I only have 2 records of vaccines. First one was in January of this year when I got My booster shot and then i had to get a blood test to see if I had the MMR shot when I was born because I was born in El Salvador and came when I was 4 months old so i couldn't get the records. Do you think that will be enough?


To Alaba: I guess maybe the medical office will have to give you every shot you need to pass your medical... I would call them and inquire about this. Worse comes to worse, if they don't have proof you've had the vaccine before, they'll just give them to you I'd think... It might be pricier though... I would call the medical office and ask if I were you.

So, I called DOS at 2:30, didn't wait long at all and got through with a very nice and helpful lady! But no interview date yet... Hopefully next week will bring good news!
Vero and ChrisFemaleCanada2010-04-30 13:52:00

Awwwww Wishing, I'm SO glad I'm not the only one who NEEDS to call often because I'm too impatient to find out!!!

I guess I should take it one day at a time, haha! Gosh! Must stay patient!

Keep you posted later on!

I was thinking I was gonna wait until next week to start calling about interview dates, but I don't think I can wait until then! I might go ahead and call this coming Friday, just to see if I'm lucky enough to be in the June batch! :goofy:

Vero and ChrisFemaleCanada2010-04-27 12:24:00
CanadaApproved November Filers - The Wait for Interview
Hi Alaba,
Some people could not send it through UPS with signature because the adress has a p.o. box. I used Xpress post, priority, without a signature, and it got there fine. I was able to track it and everything.

I also had a cover letter, much like Wishing's.

Good luck on sending it off and I hope you get logged in quick!
Vero and ChrisFemaleCanada2010-04-27 06:47:00
CanadaApproved November Filers - The Wait for Interview
Alright, so when I sent my P3, all I did send where the forms that were required. That's it. No passport pictures, or certificate.
The checklist is probably to make sure you will bring everything and won't be able to say at the interview "oh I didn't know I needed that", because you will have signed the letter stating you are gathering/have gathered what is required.
And now that I'm logged in, I'll be calling DOS every week to see if they have set up an interview. The P4 is sent to you after that.
Hope this helps and hope that whoever is waiting to get logged in get it soon!
:energy:
Vero and ChrisFemaleCanada2010-04-26 18:45:00

CanadaApproved November Filers - The Wait for Interview
Mummm, maybe someone can add to that, but I didn't send any pictures yet. I just downloaded the one for the form online (DS-something). In the embassy info section, they have a list of what to bring to the consulate... And passport pictures are to bring to the interview. You'll need some for the medical interview as well.

Quick question for you though... What are evidence of domicile? We need that for K-1 visas? And what's immunization?

Hi guys I called Service Canada thismorning to inquire about the EI when we move down. The lady was so nice, she said we can definatly claim, as long as we file within 30 days of leaving our jobs, then continue to fill out the EI report every week even though we are not receiving payments as this will keep the file open. Then when the EAD comes they will start paying benefits from the date we moved to the USA, so you don't lose any weeks if you are entitled to the full 36 weeks they will give you 36 weeks. Also they can deposit it into a USA account.

Have a good day


What??? That's real good news!!! What's the EAD?
That's awesome because I'll be out of work when school stops in June, so I was wondering about EI when I move... Thanks beantown for the info!
