Thanks Egytabeb,
I am still unsure since the email letter we recieved sounded exactly like an acknowledgement letter but I really have no idea. And as for the medical, My husband did it in May of 2009 and it says it expires in May of 2010 so I don't know if they extend it if they are taking longer to make a desicion??? I don't even know if it is a big deal to be concerned with it.
I keep getting so much conflicting information from so many different sources I just don' know what to think anymore! Gets very frustrating, which, I am sure many many people here have gone thru the same thing.
A friend of ours went thru a situation to come to canada. He went for his interview(which I heard was a long time in coming) and about a month after his interview he got a visa, but they said he had to get to Canada in 4 days!!!!!!! otherwise he would have to re-apply due to the expiry date of his applicaion or his medical( not exactly sure what the expiry date was for) Has anyone ever heard of a similar situation to that?
