    How long will it take for Medicals to be sent to the Consulate?

    My hospital sent the results August 2... regardless of the couple of emails I've sent, I haven't heard anything, not even if they received it, no reply... (It was Fedexed so, surely they received it, right?...) I was nervous and worrying quite a bit but then got tired of it. I keep reading of...

    U.S. citizen with Common law illegally in the U.S.

    You also have to prove your legal status in your country of residence. It sounds like you can prove you've been in the U.S. legally for more than a year, but currently the "legal" part is no longer the case... If you're not legal, it will be an obvious no-no for CIC, regardless of your...

    Skilled worker Permanent stay

    PMM is right, it doesn't make sense for you to have applied as a skilled worker having a Canadian wife. Your wife would have probably suspected this when you applied, so perhaps you can clarify that. But since you already applied, you can check the approximate times here...

    Again; immigration processing in Canada

    Yes, it will probably take more than a year to process a Permanent Residence application (PR for Canada, Green Card for the US) regardless of where you are. You can check the approximate times here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/index.asp Getting a job without being a Canadian...

    Time after medicals, 3+ months normal?

    Well, it seems that for the embassy the 1 hour a day that they serve the public by phone means changing pre-recorded message, again with no way to access a human. It was impossible to speak to anybody. But in the maze of pre-recorded options there was one that said that the rules of CIC do not...

    I give UP!!!!!!!!!

    You should try to find out different points of view to a same situation. A prime example given by Oloye... I thought your post name referred to "speed of light" but now I can't stop thinking about "speedo flight"... speedos, gotta love'm!

    Time after medicals, 3+ months normal?

    captain? I see this situation more like a old raft at open sea, hopefully we'll get to shore... and talking about shore, I will call my embassy today to ask if they have received my documents. Well that will be the excuse to call them and ask about my case. I think it's a fair question - or so I...

    Time after medicals, 3+ months normal?

    you know, this forum thing is great. I now look forward to reading everybody's problems in here instead of worrying about my papers coming... I mean, it's a good distraction while waiting... I wonder if there's anyone else in the "3+ months after medicals" boat... what do you think aroyo, are...

    DECISION MADE

    Yes, I agree Shalla.... Plan B will depend on many things, of course. If you're still wanting to go to Canada, then you can work on the areas they will say you lack. You can also try appealing, if you don't mind the $$$ is worth it. Or you can not go to Canada continue with your life wherever...

    Internship Experience during grad school or after undergrad

    If I'm not mistaken, they ask for 1 year continuous experience. Paid internships do count, but I've spoken with immigration officers (years back) and they usually use common sense here. Where it was, how you got it, relevancy to your field, etc. As for the time, it has to be continuous, you...

    My Landing Ordeal, pls read and learn from it

    Time after medicals, 3+ months normal?

    Soj, Whhhaaattt? 8 months wait after medicals? damn, this process is not helping any long term planning... Today is officially 3 months since the hospital sent those results. I applied by myself through Caracas... so, the waiting game continues, eh? But shouldn't there be some posting on the...

    lack of "one point" should I apply?

    When I was in university, in Canada, an immigration officer came to speak about the process. He said, "if you want your application to go through smoothly you need to fulfill the requirements. You need the money and the points." But he said that is not the case for those who don't have the...
