Canada	Woking Clinic (Panel Physician for Western Canada)	Really? Only five minute walk from Burrard Skytrain Station? Maybe I will take Skytrain after all. I can park outside of my old apartment in Burnaby for free... Yep it was not far at all! If you are heading to the consulate on west pender from the clinic the station is about 3/4 of the way.	minnew	Female	Canada	2010-01-24 16:10:00
Canada	Woking Clinic (Panel Physician for Western Canada)	when you actually meet the doctor, you will see the absurdity of those remarks!!! She is a tiny little old lady that wore her hair in a top knot and has chains on her glasses!! and yes..the parking is brutal....and right across the street from St Paul's. There is a gate to a courtyard on the left...stand there...and get there early! All the best Wyatt!!! I thought the doctor was a man! I did see the lady with the chain glasses but only after meeting with the male doctor. The doctor has to have a woman present in the room, I believe it was the receptionist. Anyways the lady with the glasses I thought she was a nurse, all she did was take my weight and height. My cousin drove me from burnaby that morning, there was NO traffic @ 5:30 in the morning! It's right across from st pauls hospital like the others have said. Probably a 5 min walk to the Burrard station.

Canada	Transferring money from CAD account to US account	Customhouse all the way! Excellent customer service! Best exchange rates! Banks rip you off! Free EFT's & so far no problems from them! Like others have said it takes some time to set up but will be a lifesaver when I start to pay my Canadian bills that can only be paid from a CAN institution!	minnew	Female	Canada	2010-01-19 23:29:00

Canada	Verbally Declaring Chicken Pox	Hi, Curious, according to Sieden's website Are there any exceptions to written proof of immunization? You may, verbally, provide the panel physician with a reliable history of having chickenpox in which case you will not be required to have the chickenpox / varicella vaccine nor provide antibody titer proof of immunity. You must have written proof for all other immunization requirements. My wife had CP as a kid, so according to what's above, she should be able to just say, I had chicken pox as a kid. And she won't need the vaccine? And having no proof? I say this because I think my wifes med records were destroyed as she hasn't been to her fam doc in over 10 years so it's bad enough we need to get MMR and tb shots again, I'm just trying to lessen the needed vaccines here. Is this wise to just go in and say she had CP? Or has anyone had any cases where the doctors barked at them saying they need record of the shot. I just verbally declared what year I had chicken pox, no issues from the medical doctor. Still is very likely if you don't have any records of vaccines to get the titres test.	minnew	Female	Canada	2010-01-25 19:29:00

Canada	Immunization	It would have taken me over a month to get into see my family doctor and no guarantee that he would have been able to give me the shot in the office right then and there without having to get a prescription first. I went to the local travel clinic and got my Tdap there for $85.... Lovely SK healthcare huh?	minnew	Female	Canada	2010-01-26 10:23:00

Canada	Did NOT Receive I-94 at POE for my K-1 Visa Activation	This will all get straightened out Ashen, just please take a deep breath! As others have suggested I would first try the defered inspection at nearest airport. This has happened to other VJ'ers and a trip to deferred inspection got it all worked out.	minnew	Female	Canada	2010-01-13 09:42:00

Canada	What do you refrigerate?	I too never used to refridgerate soy sauce, hot sauce or worcestire sauce but because of my husband we keep it in the fridge. When I was growing up we never kept that stuff in the fridge. We also never kept peanut butter in the fridge. Hubby tried to put it in th fridge one day and I told him that he could put everything else BUT the peanut butter in the fridge! Like Carla said have you ever tried to spread peanut butter that's been in the fridge on toast!?!? Doesn't work so well!! Hubby doesn't each much peanut butter so it's hands-off! We also keep coffee in the freezer (hubby) but that's because we barely drink it, too much of a trigger for me if I drink too much.	minnew	Female	Canada	2010-01-27 10:29:00

Canada	How close/far away are/were you from your American/Canadian significant other?	I think I am sort of the odd one out on this one.... It's complicated...lol... We met in 05 when I was going to school in the US... Flash forward 3 years...after graduation and 1 yr of OPT (work auth) I moved back to canada in May of 08. Hardest decision to ever make...we just weren't ready to get married yet. It double sucked because we had spent past 3 years dating seeing each other daily & 1 year of living together...... To phone calls, webcam, skype & weekend trips. For the next 6 mos we lived about 4.5 hours away from each other (lots of weekend trips) The last 9 mos of our separation (got orders) he was a 15 hour drive one way only saw him 2x in 9 months.... Had a wedding to plan & save up for!	minnew	Female	Canada	2010-02-03 21:42:00

Canada	Canadian Guilt?	I don't feel guilty per we but I understand what you are trying to say HeatDeath. My process both k-1 and aos has been relatively quick but still the same expense and regulations as everyone else. I do feel for those who are put in extra processing and security checks IF thet are innocent.. Just because of the country they come from. It's not right but at the same time I do understand the need for thr USA to be cautious in who in let's into the country. If anything the ones who abuse the system with fraud anger me and realize why I have to go through a harder time than years prior when it was "easy"... You have no idea how many times I've heard that phrase!	minnew	Female	Canada	2010-02-04 17:01:00

Canada	I-693 question for AOS	I have called 8 civil surgeons in my area and ALL of them refuse to give me a partial except one who wants to charge me 200$! You've got to be kidding me!!!!!!!! There is no way I am paying that much. Minnew, you said Part 1, 2 and 5. Part 1 and 5 I understand but Part 2 is like 4 pages long....would it just be the vaccination page sheet of Part 2? $200!!! That's ridiculous!!! That's what inky was quoted when she called! I called the same place a few weeks later when doing my AOS & they said $50 or less!! Yes it would just be the vaccination portion of Part 2 if the CS is transcribing. You can risk sending it without RFE some people do not have any problems, but it's hard to measure the risk. If you end up being transferred to CSC usually no problem approves without interview. If you end up having an interview & did not send the 693 transcription you still have the same dilemma as now, trying to find a CS to do a transcription.	minnew	Female	Canada	2010-01-06 17:04:00
Canada	I-693 question for AOS	Hi guys. I'm going to be filling out all my AOS paperwork this weekend and am getting confused with the I-693. My medical was done in Montreal in august so its definitely still good so I wouldn't need the physical or blood work redone. So do I just need the civil surgeon here in Florida to do the vaccination supplemental (i-693a)? If I do need the actual I-693 done by the civil surgeon, what parts do I need? Thanks everyone! Yes if you have had your medical done in Canada then you do not need to redo your entire medical. If you are willing to risk an RFE which also means waiting longer fo interim benefits then you can just send in a copy of the vaccination sheet that Montreal gave you. I had my civil surgeon transcribe the vaccination sheet from Vancouver onto the I-693. Cost me $50, but worth it for me. The parts that you will need, the rest you can throw away will be Part 1, Part 2 & Part 5. http://www.uscis.gov.../i-693instr.pdf From pg. 4 of the instructions.	minnew	Female	Canada	2010-01-06 15:34:00
