Well they called my husband and told him that because his medicals are expiring on Sept. 21 that he had the choice to either re-do them, or they could issue the visa on the condition that he make sure he lands in Canada before Sept. 21. So he obviously chose the second option to avoid delays! I'm not sure how we got so lucky!! I was so shocked when he told me! He is in Nairobi now, about to pick up his passport in a few hours! I wish I knew our secret, but I feel we just did the same thing as everyone else, lots of proof of relationship, etc.
