Hi,
I got my appointment for next Tuesday. I can't wait to get them done.
One reason why we may have gotten ours sooner than others is because our application is very simple as I said in a previous post, therefore not much to check. Also, my partner was born and raised in Niagara, NY, literally 2 miles away from Canadian border, and even though it makes no difference, it could influence an immigration officer, as they know that all our family still lives there and we will have no issues adapting to Canadian life.
In addition, they have employment letters stating that as soon as the visa comes through, my partner's company will transfer duties to the Ontario headquarters... so I think that these may be some of the reasons if some wonder why timelines are slightly different.
The letter sent to us was a standard letter and a form for each of us with our pictures and some personal data, which we will need to take to the doctors along with passport and further passport pics.
