You guys were right, Canada doesn't reject anyone! I just received my notice to do a Medical and to submit more security forms like updated fingerprinting check.Quick question! I've been living in the Philippines for the past 9 months, and the fingerprinting they want is from the FBI (US), should I inform the Canadian consulate in the US that my fingerprinting will be done in the Phils, or should I FEDEX a form to the FBI with my fingerprints so they can process and send on my behalf to the consulate? My Medical exam will also be done here. My worry is that because I've been residing here, they will transfer my file to the Phils. (a queue 3-4 yrs long), whereas if I can process the Medical and Fingerprinting remotely, they will retain my file in the US queue (which is MUCH faster). HELP!
