Like from the beginning of when you were first getting everything until the time you mailed it out to be delivered.

Is it possible to get it done in under 3 months?

As we speak, I'm currently scanning everything. I also sent out my police clearances. I will be taking the immigration photos/medical exam in January, getting my marriage certificate in January (in Ontario it takes 10+ weeks to recieve it, thus the delay) and sending it all out in February. I am gathering everything now, organizing it completely in January and hopefully all will be well!

Good luck with everything. I'd say it's possible to pull everyhing together in 3 months. It took us about that to get all the evidence together I think.

Absolutely! We definitely put ours together in under 3 months, and that includes sending away from and receiving both FBI and state police checks, the medical etc... I did put away documents in the months prior that I knew should be a part of our application (which I am sure you are doing), but overall the application is not nearly as daunting a task as you think it is (permitting you stay organized).

For us it took exactly 2 months. The forms weren't the problem, it's chasing up after all those supporting documents! And then it took me a whole afternoon to scan a copy of everything :p

Might I ask what took so long with the medical exam? Isn't it basically an in-and-out process and the DMP gives the information to CIC?

Hi, first time on here and wanted to share my news.

I started collating all the information in April, posted it off in July, and received my Visa two days ago. :)

i takes logn cause sometimes DMP are busy and you have to wait for an appointment long time in some cases...
try calling more than one doctor.. maybe you get better times that way.. the first time i tried they ask me to wait around 2 months.. i made the appointment and decided call the other doctors.. one gave me the appointment in 5 days.. so... i guess was luck! or less bussy Doctor.. ;)
