overstaying isn't a good option, you will probably end up getting a ban when you leave. Which would stop you from being able to cross the border for anywhere from 3 years to life.

No one on these boards will tell you to just stay.

CanadaList of stuff for interview

Hey, see Trailmix? I'm making strides! A week ago I might have thought, "Oh damn, I'd better write one up!" :P

CanadaList of stuff for interview

I did? :unsure:

But yeah, I'm kinda ####### about organization. Like I said to my wife last night, "This is one of those times where we should BOTH be glad I'm so meticulous!"

It's kinda funny how that works out in many marriages -- one partner is the super-organized one while the other is more scattered. Makes for a good yin and yang though. :)



Eh? Never heard of this being asked for before...



My husband and I are like that too. I have everything organized for this whole process.

CanadaDetails on Xpresspost envelope

So I read some older posts about the xpress post envelope.

I'm curious, I have read absolutely nothing about this on any correspondence from the government about needing an envelope when one shows up for a CR1 interview.

I will have my wife go out and get one though at shoppers.

So she has to get an Xpress Post envelope, and since shes ontario, it can be regional? I'm curious, what happens if one shows up at their interview with no envelope? What else does she have to ask for when getting it? Postage paid as well to her Canadian address?

Also, I hear that we should request signature so essentially its not smushed into the mailbox, what in there is at risk of being smushed, isn't her passport in there? That's small and unsmushable...

Thanks!


yes she can get the regional one, the postage is included in the price. Signature part isn't. Not sure about your other questions.

Glad she made it without and problems. I crossed quite frequently and never had any problems.
sdwFemaleCanada2010-03-04 12:05:00
CanadaYAY!

Ha ha...I missed this last night.

Honestly -- I'm not stressed out in the least. This is actually just me being me...making sure all my I's are dotted and T's are crossed. I'm my own worst critic if I screw something up...which makes me very thorough and preventative etc. Trust me, I'm as cool as a cucumber right now. :)



That's good. I didn't realize really how worried I was until we heard approved and welcome to the US.
sdwFemaleCanada2010-03-04 08:51:00

My husband was asked. Not sure if the answer matters or not though.
sdwFemaleCanada2010-03-03 21:35:00

Try to stop stressing out Wyatt. You will be fine, you are well prepared. Once the interview is done, you'll be wondering why you were so worried.

I have no intention of using the Rainbow bridge...LOL I avoid it now. Usually use Q.L, so debating that.

Drivers are crazy here and most of the streets around the consulate are 1 way. We drove to Montreal and parked our van at the hotel and have walked every where. Consulate is maybe a 5 minute walk.
