If so, as soon as I submitted my application and all my references, I scheduled an interview for that same week. My recruiter basically told me at the interview that I'd be nominated for my region of preference, and she actually gave me a choice of a few projects in that region — all pertaining to health, also my preference. I don't yet know what country I'll be going to, though. I guess I won't know that until a couple months (or less) before departure.</p> Do you mean the application?

I scheduled my appointments before the paper work came, but I had the paperwork by the time the actual appointment day came.

Or, you can just wait until to get all the documents, I personally don’t think it would be cutting it to close.

Once you get the paper work it’s pretty easy.

Just go to the doctor and dentist, get it filled out, and get it turned in. -Do this ASAP-

The hard part is waiting for the invitation (that’s what I’m doing right now)
