I am going tomorrow to get my medical exam done. It says to bring 5 recent pictures. To clarify, what kind of pictures can these be? For example, can they be from my family Christmas, etc? Or do I need to bring the "headshot" pictures, formatted like Appendix C says? Do they all need to be the...

That is so great to hear! I got a little discouraged when I heard 16-18 weeks. But on other paperwork I saw 3-6 weeks so I wasn't sure what to believe. I just sent mine in this past week and even put a deadline for about 3 weeks out just in case. Thanks for the info! Something to look forward to.

Good to know, thanks thaiguy.

I'm about to send in for my background check and I see that it could take up to 16-18 weeks to receive the results. Besides just wanting to get it back asap so I can continue the application process, what would be example(s) of the a reason why I would need it by a certain date? Advice? Thanks!

Where can I obtain and actual fingerprint CARD, not just the downloadable version on the fbi web site? My local PD requires the actual card and will not take the paper version. Thanks!

Sounds good, thank you!

Is there a certain way that all the paperwork needs to be organized and sent in? Can I put it all in a binder or folder or something, or do they prefer the application loose in a big envelope? Any suggestions or rules that I'm unaware of that can be brought to my attention? Thanks!

tamee - thank you for the info, i will look into this. pmm - i have looked into the conjugal status and have even had a consultation with a lawyer and this is what they suggested i file under. we were unable to live together for a year due to my boyfriend's f1 visa (i believe that's what it is)...

No, my parents and sister are not planning on coming to Canada later, but this is what the instructions say, so I should probably go by those.

I'm applying as a conjugal partner.

On the paperwork (guide) that I have obtained, it says whether or not your family members are accompanying me to Canada, they must undergo and pass a medical exam as well as undergo a background check. This is why I'm confused. My paperwork says one thing, and then I hear another. Do you know...

I'm applying from the US. I'm just confused with the whole Background/Police Certificate process and need a step by step. From what I understand, I write the FBI for fingerprint cards. Then, go to a local police station or DMV to acquire fingerprints. Send Letter along with fingerprints to visa...

If my parents nor sister are accompanying me to Canada, do they all need to obtain police certificates too? (i.e. fingerprints, etc.) I know they do have to do medical, but just wanted to confirm background checks too. Thanks.
